We have just now crept out from under these kinds of laws, and we're now going to be bringing back those kinds of laws in pursuit of supposed pedophiles.
I can absolutely garauntee that any laws against these types of activities will be used against consenting adult homosexuals, because there are a good 20% of the population of this country that still does not make a distinction between homosexuality and pedophilia. They're both wrong, they both go against their God, and that's tens of millions of people who think that way, potentially at all levels of government and law enforcement. This country is at any given time only a handful of votes away from slipping into at least temporary fascism, and promoting a culture of defending individual rights, regardless of whether you agree with them or not, is the ONLY defense against such an outcome. |
So we need to not fuck with pedophiles who destroy the innocence of children because you think there might be some splash effect on the homosexual community? Your head is well and truly screwed on sideways and it has absolutely nothing to do with what sex your partner is. I don't care at all if you are gay, but the thought track you are on is truly fucked up.
