I didn't say I disagree with what the cop did, I just asked why it's fine with the courts now days for homos to have sex with one another but they can be arrested for trying to arrange meetings with each other. If the cop had followed Craig or any other homosexual and a boyfriend who he met at the terminal to a motel and arrested them for having homo sex a judge would throw it out of court. But when Craig apparently tried to signal the cop that he was looking for a "date" he was arrested. It just doesn't make sense to me.
If a man can flirt with a girl in a public venue without breaking the law, which has been normal for as long as there have been men and women, according to our new politically correct official attitude toward homosexuality it seems logical that homosexuals could also flirt with each other without breaking any laws. I don't have any sympathy for Craig if he is actually homosexual and picks up other men for sex, but I still don't see what he did that broke any law. What crime could he have been charged with, standing around too long in a restroom? Or moving his foot too close to another man's foot? Or allowing his hand to be visible under the dividing wall of the cubicle? How can any of that be a crime? If a person can be arrested and brought before a court for any of those "crimes", the ACLU must not be as all powerful as it's made out to be.

Its legal for heterosexuals to have sex too but the police have always done prostitution sting operations with undercover policewomen.
This particular restroom at the Minneapolis airport had received compliants from citizens that homosexual activity was going on in that restroom.
Sex with consenting adults is legal, public solicitation of sex is not.
Craig give the undercover officer all the signals that he was soliciting sexual activity.
Craig pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor offense of disorderly conduct.

I suspect the homosexuals have sex right there, in the bathroom, not at a motel, and the arrest was an attempt to forestall that activity.
