Are you really conflating homosexuality with pedophilic tendencies? What the fuck is wrong with you?
I'm really not. Strange that your mind went there, though.
This is common I've noticed, part of the BS "slippery slope" argument bigotry uses.
I mean, c'mon here.
The whole "gays fuck kids" thing is so 1980s. It's been debunked as any kind of significant factor at all.
Yeah, gay men have less issues dating outside their age bracket, but that doesn't extend to banging teenagers. I'm not saying it never happens, I'm saying it doesn't come down to gay men.
And you double down with tangential info that doesn't prove your assertion. Buddy you're homophobic.
It's okay to say you're wrong.
This wasn't a relationship, this was paying an underage boy for sex.
We don't need to be playing devil's advocate about Lyndsey Graham raping minors.
Someone check this guy's hard drives.
Oh it's not because of disagreement. It's the part where you didn't even bat an eyelid about him soliciting sex from a minor. You thought the problem was just a large age gap.
You've got it precisely wrong. I really couldn't care less about age gaps. Soliciting sex for money is the issue, regardless of age.
That's even worse, especially now that this is the second time you've suggested pedophilia is not a problem.
