Allegations of Sen. Larry Craig's (R-ID) sexual "preference" have been around for 25 years.

In 1982 he was a focal point for the Congressional "Page Boy" investigation.

And, last year, it was reported that he was having affairs with a number of men.

Below you will find the NBC News video from 1982 with Larry Craig when he was a Member of the House.

Below that is an article from last year, that was mostly overlooked, alleging Craig had numerous same-sex affairs.

Idaho Sen. Larry Craig Denies Allegations of Same-Sex Affairs

By Jill Kuraitis, 10-17-06

Mike Rogers, who calls himself "the nation’s leading gay activist blogger" has just finished a nationally-broadcast interview on the Ed Schultz Radio Show in which he alleges that Idaho Republican Senator Larry Craig has engaged in same-sex sexual activity.

Senator Craig’s office flatly rejected the claims. "The Senator says this story is absolutely ridiculous – almost laughable," said press secretary Sid Smith. “It has no basis in fact.”

Rogers said he has talked to three men unknown to each other who all reported in detail their sexual encounters with Craig over the last four years. The men were of legal age, Rogers said. (Audio of Rogers on the Ed Schultz show is available here.)

Rogers says that digging into the private lives of politicians who support anti-gay legislation is legitimate. Because Craig supported and voted for the Defense of Marriage act, it is politically relevant to reveal these claims, Rogers said. In a letter to Craig, he wrote: "What these citizens are not being told is that some of the politicians who want their help are or have staff who are part of the so-called ‘homosexual lifestyle.’"

Rogers reported that he took "trips out west and met with folks in the Senator’s region and in the Pacific Northwest" as part of his research. Rogers said he and his advisors are solid on the sources, but they would remain anonymous. Rogers said he tried to contact the Senator, but never got a response from Craig or his staff.
