I... am having a hard time seeing how the first part of that statement relates to the rest of it? Why would someone who was gay be more thorough and correct?
Much of this is contextual, I think. I'd debated leaving the note out of the post entirely, but it had relevance that I wanted to keep in.
Florida (especially South Florida) is very much an anti-homosexual, anti-deviance* establishment. While California was passing Prop 8, we happily passed Prop 2 along similar grounds.
Given the stigma against sexual deviance and behavior that might even be considered deviant (remember, TSA officers are still human, even if it's their job to perform the checks), this struck me as surprisingly correct and proactive. But again, it's highly contextual. Given the clear psychological distinctions I'd like to draw between mandatory screening procedures in public and, say, a doctor's visit, perhaps I should better organize my thoughts on this point for future posts. -- * It says a lot about my views that I'd prefer to rewrite this as "anti-correctness." But, so it goes. :)
