I agree. In Craig, I see the results of the repressive 50s and 60s, when he must have learned that all his urges were considered sick and unnatural. Some gays turned these judgments inward against themselves, and others, like Craig, outward, in some desperate attempt to remove himself from that "label". But my sympathy for him lies in a different area of the brain from that from which I judge certain things, whether that's a good thing or not. I want someone in power who can deal with all the nasty stuff life throws at him, and still make decisions that sublimate those things he knows are destructive to the behaviors he knows are the right ones. Or at least the honest ones. Life is filled with these conflicts: the professor tempted with the nubile student, or the bored housewife tempted by the attentive online flatterer, the president with the willing intern. DOn't we all KNOW what the right choices are? So I am sympathetic to his conflict, but not willing to allow him to be in a position of power over others when he can't rise above the internal conflict..
