They asked "what did you do to him" or whatever without any mention of what they were discussing.

To proposition someone in an airport bathroom and to grab someone and try to forcibly have sex with them are two very different things. While he claims that he was acting out of self defense, he can't blame people for thinking that his comment and actions were innapropriate. Maybe he should have elaborated a little bit, instead of being vague and sounding like an asshole. Also interesting is how instead of laughing and talking about he slammed someone's head into a wall, he now claims that he and the unidentified friend merely held the assailant until a security guard arrived.

I yelled, pulled away from him and ran out of the room. Twenty-five minutes later, a friend of mine and I returned to the men’s room. The man was still there, presumably waiting to do to someone else what he had done to me. My friend and I seized the man and held him until a security guard arrived. Several bloggers have characterized this is a sort of gay bashing. That’s absurd, and an insult to anybody who has fought back against an unsolicited sexual attack. I wasn’t angry with the man because he was gay. I was angry because he assaulted me." He issued a statement concerning this:

Everyone wins! The ladies, me, and the poor smuck (by reinstating that he's wrong at life).
