Good question. I find it really strange that the same conservatives that are against two law-abiding adults of the same gender having consensual sex, are for same-sex rape in prison.
Those types of conservatives scare and worry me.
Where, exactly, is the money? Will anybody ever get any of those millions back?
Sadly, since prison rape is the one human rights violation tolerated in our prisons (since it's the inmates, and not the guards dishing it out), it gets latched onto as the only way to get a more emotionally satisfying punishment.
I don't consider them to be conservatives. I don't consider any homosexual addict, fan, or enabler to be conservative. Wicked yes, Conservative no.
