Gay Activists Ask Canada to Lower Age of Consent for (____) Sex, National Post Agrees
LifeSite ^ | February 14, 2006 | John-Henry Westen

TORONTO, February 14, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Homosexual activists have long sought to distance themselves from pedophiles, however Canada's most prominent homosexual activist group has now demanded the lowering the age of consent for anal sex to 16 from 18.  Surprisingly, Canada's National Post, regarded by some as a 'conservative' paper has come out in favour of the proposal.

Reacting to the Conservative Government's plan to raise the age of consent for normal sex from 14 to 16, EGALE (Equality for Gays and Lesbians Everywhere) has commenced a campaign to have the age of consent for anal sex lowered to 16 from 18.  Laurie Arron, the director of advocacy for EGALE remarked to the Ottawa Citizen, "There's no reason to treat anal sex differently than other sexual acts except to stigmatize gay and bisexual men."

However, that statement is categorically false, speaking strictly from a medical standpoint.  Even those who support homosexual sex acts warn nonetheless that anal sex is a dangerous activity, regardless of genders involved.  The sex info site of the University of California at Santa Barbara, which can in no way be described as opposed to homosexual activity, nonetheless points out that anal sex is a dangerous practice.

Experts on sexual behaviour, or "sexperts" at the site refers to them, warn that anal sex is the most dangerous behaviour for transmission of HIV/AIDS and all other STDs since the anus is not designed for sexual activity as is the vagina.  Moreover, the 'sexperts' warn that the practice also leads to fecal incontinence - loss of normal control of the sphincter muscles which leads to stool leaking from the rectum at unexpected times.

As the website puts it: "Even when people use lots of lubrication during anal sex, there can be tearing of the tissue inside the anus . . . For this reason, anal sex is the riskiest form of sexual activity when it comes to the transmission of HIV/AIDS.

"Tiny tears in the anal tissue are like giant superhighways for the HIV viruses, allowing them to get inside the body and enter the blood system. Anal tears provide an opening for all the other STDs as well.

"It may be possible for repetitive anal sex to lead to weakening of the anal sphincter, which is the muscle that tightens after we defecate. Once weakened, feces can escape the anus against our will."
(see the website http://www.soc.ucsb.edu/sexinfo/?article=faq&refid=125 WARNING: graphic sketches used to illustrate)

Nevertheless, the National Post backed the EGALE request in an unsigned editorial Saturday February 11.  The editorial titled, "Equalize the age of consent" said "Section 159 of the Criminal Code specifically bans anal intercourse between unmarried people under 18. This is plainly discriminatory, a prohibition intended to stigmatize homosexual or bisexual teenagers, suggesting that the nature of their sexual relationship requires special added protection. This is nonsense." (see the editorial - paid subscription required - http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/editorialsletters/st... )

In response to the editorial, Jessica White West Vancouver, B.C. wrote a letter to the editor of the National Post.   The published letter stated, "If both vaginal and anal intercourse were in accordance with natural law and did not discriminate in terms of consequences, this would be true. However, this is not the case with homosexual sex, as two people of the same sex do not have the required body parts to interact sexually and their intercourse can never be fruitful."

White continued, "Furthermore, their sexual practices result in both physical and emotional damage, as is evidenced in numerous studies. More than 80% of AIDS cases in Canada are among homosexual or bisexual males; other diseases suffered either exclusively, or in larger percentages by the homosexual population, include: anal cancer, chlamydia trachomatis, cryptosporidium, giardia lamblia, herpes simplex virus, HPV, gonorrhea, viral hepatitis B and C, and syphilis."

They actually call large portions of the gay communiity "chickenhawks." Basically, these are men in their 40s and 50s that seek out teenage boys. I've seen them with 14 year olds in gay bars before. I can't say I've ever been more disgusted or shocked speechless.

The more these queers can spread their mental illness and gross pysical diseases, the better they like - it and the younger the better. We need a bumper sticker that says "STAMP OUT TOLERANCE".

This is just one more instance of removing barriers to deviancy. In Massachusetts recently, the homosexual lobby had their four legislators remove criminal penalties to bestiality. This is just the beginning. You can only imagine what comes next.

I believe the word of old given to describe those engaged in such perversion is a good one--a sodomite. These people are sick, twisted and perverted. It is just like the devil to always attack the young and innocents of any people--his ways never change. The Bible says the devil comes only to steal, kill and destroy. This scripture pretty much sums up this sick bunch of perverts.

Can you imagine the discussion in the Dr's office when these perverts start getting all kinds of std's and then spreading them to their object of choice? How do you test for that kind of junk? It is sick! The end must surely be near--Rome was finally stamped out when their perversion was out of control.

So homosexuals can have sex at 16 while everyone else waits until 18.

Weird.

I have a better idea. Make castration the penalty for anyone who sodomizes someone under the age of 18.

Why even the vaulted prophet Mohammed had sex relations with his child bride.....maybe that's why a fondness for Islam from the Gays is developing...

Silly question, but, Do you frequent many gay bars?
