Forgetting, apparently, that there are scores of people raking over his every word and public utterance, he included
gays, Nambla, and bestiality in the same conceptual sentence, while making a larger point.
They don’t care about larger points, or reasonable discussion.
He gave them the handle they needed.
Further discussions about gay marriage needn’t provide such
easy “guilt-by-associational” lumpings-together.
They will jump on them every time.
Unfortunately for him, what could he have said by way of
“apology” for “offending”?
Could he have said “I didn’t mean to compare Nambla or those into bestiality with the proponents of same-sex marriage?
That would have been taken to mean that he WAS comparing all three of them, as co-equal political positions, both deserving of some measure of respect and legal viability.
And they aren’t-—NAMBLA and bestiality proponents will NEVER get their agendas set into law.
Not a one are worth our time. Every one of these types from faggots, lesbians to this bunch of pedophiles using a lable like NAMBLA are against everything this country was founded on. I damn sure would not want to meet my maker supporting any of them.
A case against a man who had sex with a male minor was dropped when the Lawrence v. Texas decision was handed down by the Supreme Court. I don't recall the specifics but I seem to recall that age of consent was 18 for homosexuality while the age for heterosexual consent was under 18. Meanwhile a case of ADULT consensual "incest" proceeded (and the couple weren't even blood related, at least one if not both of them were adopted) (a pregnancy had resulted and the affair came to light).
The leading gay rights organization is seeking to decriminalize exposing and soliciting in park bathrooms because it "unfairly" stigmatizes and convicts the homosexual community.
There are those who are also pushing for lowering the age of consent. What number are you okay with? 18? 16? 14? 12? Schools are pushing the sex positive line (as Planned Parenthood does through SEICUS or is it SIECUS). They see abstinence as UNHEALTHY because it suppresses sexual desires. "It doesn't work" is just a talking point. They literally couldn't care less if it does work. It is unfathomable to them. They (sex positive educators and medical professionals) see orgasms as a birthright to be enjoyed by everyone at every age.
And some states have only recently written laws against bestiality into the code. Some did it because of sex tourism (didn't a guy die in the Pacific Northwest from an incident with a horse?).
Pretending that it doesn't exist and that there is no political muscle behind it is a mistake.
