C'mon, madg. You're raising a completely different issue than the one I did. It's a nice (but shallow) try. Most people know that putting homosexual men in close quarters with other people's teenage boys is BAD news. And it is - as several thousand molested teenage boys in the Catholic Church can attest to. What's backfiring is the steady desire of homosexual organizations to insinuate homosexual men into position of authority over and close quarters to teenage boys - as well as the constant attempts to lower the age of consent for man/boy sex. As I say - I have no problem with homosexuals leading their own lives as they see fit. But I do NOT agree with them on issues of sexual morality. I do NOT want them teaching my kids things I don't believe are true. And I do NOT want my sons in close quarters with homosexual men. I believe most Americans would be in my camp on those things. Here's a test - go to any representative meeting of American parents with teenage boys - and tell them that you as a homosexual man want to be their sons' mentor, and that you want to take their sons out for the day. In most places, as you well know, you wouldn't get very far. And THAT is not because parents are bigots. It's because they're prudent.
Are those the "real" people mad "gay" was refering to?
