Craig's Lawyer Clarifies What A Real Sexual Advance Is
Here's an interesting tidbit from yesterday's Larry Craig hearing that has gone largely unnoticed. At one point, Craig's lawyer, Billy Martin, denied that his client had done anything improper in that men's room, and then went on to offer his view of what needs to occur in situations like that for it to constitute a sexual overture:
"You should have either touching, or words, or a combination of the two."
In other words, because there was no exchange of touch or words, no sexual advance occurred. So argued Larry Craig's lawyer, anyway.

First of all, there WAS touching alleged: the officer claimed that Wide Stance rubbed the officer's shoe with his shoe.
Second...and I haven't seen much discussion of this point...I can only speak for straight guys...but there is an invisible force field that extends directly downwards on the wall of an "open" stall. I am taller than average and hence have a "wider stance" than most guys...but I am acutely aware of said force field. I've been using public restrooms all my life and from personal experience can say that other men's feet find that nether zone equally repellent.
Third...Martin's claim that there must be verbiage exchanged to allege an inappropriate sexual advance is a joke.

Somehow, I doubt my employers policy on sexual harassment confines it to just touching and/or words. Therefore, doesn't it make sense that a sexual advance involves touching, words, GESTURES?
Hilarious.

So that's legally a pretty wide stance.
