How is consent not possible? By your defintion, everytime you have sex, it is rape because the person can not consent. If you don't understand how molesting a child doesn't hurt anybody, then you have some serious issues.

I assume you are talking about children in the last portion. They can not consent because they are underage and if you are a 30 year old and can't tell a gay man not to have sex with you, then that is your fault. As I have stated, it is wrong to molest a child be it through homosexual means or heterosexual means. And by law, consent is not acquiescence if you are a minor.

Not if there’s acquiescence.

So instead of arguing the point, you attack me? Poor form. Obviously I do find pedophilia harmful, as I do the practice of perversion, but if consent is the only criteria then it’s possible for children to meet that burden.

That doesn’t explain why children can’t consent, you are relying on the law. If the law was the only criteria then obviously the practice of perversion is still illegal in many states.

As I have stated, it is wrong to molest a child be it through homosexual means or heterosexual means. And by law, consent is not acquiescence if you are a minor.

Of course it’s wrong, as is the practice of perversion, but it doesn’t address whether a child can consent, not whether some arbitrary age prevents him/her from doing that.

It’s difficult for the consent crowd to intellectually argue this point without personal attacks so let’s put it aside till later, I promise to return to it, and discuss the easiest of the three, why is consent between incestual adults not possible?
