But homosexuals don't want to have sex with little prepubescent girls! Something is weird here. I bet if you could talk with all the other "ladyboys" of the world, none of them are interested in little girls, and probably only a few even get turned on from developed girls/women.
I think Karr has been many things through his life time. He is one screwed up person. His mother "tended" to raise him as a girl, He liked women many years younger than himself (2 marriages) - Now he is is a total flamer (videos from Thai show this) - and he was visiting a sex charge operation that specializes in ladyboys.
And pedophiles are turned on by little children, not little children dressed up to look like women.
Doubt if ANYONE would go to the extreme, but it would be one heck of defense...to say he was actually gay. He'd get a whole boat load of free support from THAT community. The ACLU, or whatever group the radical gay community uses, would be all over this.
IMO, it is a way (half sex change) to get to the young girls without suspicion. It's even more sick then an outright male pervert. At least a girl/woman would know when to run from a male....JM Karr could have a girl trapped somewhere and it'd be too late.
