The Staff was really just a big stick…Anyway, it was capped by an elaborate headpiece with a carving of the sun at the top. What you had to do was take the Staff to a special map room in Tanis--it had the whole city laid out in miniature on the floor. When you placed the Staff in a certain spot in this room, at a certain time of day, the sun would shine through a hole here in the headpiece and then send a beam of light down here—to the map--giving you the location of the Well of the Souls...

Was that a joke? I can't tell if you are serious.
I'm serious. I appreciate the irony of being caught by same unjust public policies you support, but that still doesn't make the policies just.
Noumena, should he step down?
I think that's an issue between him and his constituents. Presumably, if they're homophobic enough to want their representative to all kinds of spectacularly homophobic legislation, they don't want their representative to be a gay man so firmly in the closet.
Discreetly? He was soliciting a sexual encounter in a public restroom. I mean, if he was picking someone up in a public restroom in order to arrange a private sexual encounter elsewhere, that would be one thing. But I don't think that's what he had in mind.
I think it is perfectly appropriate for such behavior to be punishable as a misdemeanor. If there was such a thing as unisex public restrooms and a man propositioned a woman in precisely the same manner, I hope you would agree that that would constitute inappropriate harassment.
As I understand it, he looked into a stall, went into the next stall, and tapped his foot a few times. That sounds quite discreet to me. Unless that description is wildly inaccurate, I also don't think anything similar would count as harassment in a heterosexual context.
Since it came up in our thread -- Amanda does a little compare-and-contrast with harassment here.
I'm going to have to mull this over a bit more. Thanks for the link.
