I guarantee that untold numbers of closeted GOPers had already done their homework on where to go to gay it up. Wonkette reposted a few of the men seeking men ads from the Minneapolis craigslist, and there are some real doozys. And that is just the ones they chose to repost. Check it out for yourselves. Unbelievable. The “big problem” with handing out these guidebooks would apparently be redundancy.

Larry Craig in it, did it? If the gay community had any sense, they'd distribute maps of how to get to the famous stall in the nearby airport so that attendees at the RNC could get their picture taken there or pick up on a little quick and raunchy airport sex.
