    a perfect example of what I described.

    raping a child is in no way comparable to 2 consenting adults.

    no it isn't. it's child rape.

    lol, no they aren't. the overwhelming vast majority of pedophiles are heterosexuals.

    I would expect that in a population that was shunned and oppressed for centuries.

    Ducking the issue when confronted simply reveals Carson's inability to deal with reality. The activist pulled Ben's pants down publicly.
    Trump has the same problem.
    That's why those two have been leading the cons' clown car in popularity.
    Demagoguery collapses like a cheap lawn chair when forcefully confronted.
    Joe McCarthy suffered the same fate.

    nobody is pushing for the acceptance of homosexuality as genetic.
    gay rights is a civil rights issue.
    you seem confused. civil rights wasn't just a single event that took place in the 60's.

    Considering they make up less than 3% of the population this is staggering.

    But are peophiles born in a way to think children are attractive or is a mental illness?

    That I actually do not agree with. Were it not for it violating societal norms pedophilia would be far more common in the heterosexual community. Just look at places where it is accepted such as the Mideast. It is the pressure of society that keeps it in check in the west. The reason pedophilia is so prevalent amongst homosexuals is that it is accepted practice within their community. Harvey Milk is still revered despite being a pedophile. You cant find many examples of him having sexual relationships with grown men. He almost exclusively raped young adolescents. Yet he was never ostracized from the community because of it. It is this acceptance that leads to it being so widespread.

    one would think that you would have learned your lesson by now and stopped quoting bat(*)(*)(*)(*) crazy right wing trash blogs as citations. it does nothing but destroy your credibility.

    try quoting a single peer reviewed study supporting your claim.

    Nothing in the entomology of the word homosexual implies age.

    Are you saying people under the age of 18 can't consent to sex? Are you saying children as young as 13 don't have sex consentually? I know some that do. So if the sex is consensual there shouldn't be a problem right? If a 13 yr old boy agrees to engaging a 60 ur old man in anal sex for nothing more then pleasure, you are ok with that? I don't care about what the age of consent laws are, those can be changed. If it is mutual agreement by both parties to pleasure each other sexually, you are ok with that?

    I am not a con, so you can scrap "you cons."

    There is no such thing as "gay rights."

    Consenting adults is where the line is drawn.

    If one of the parties cannot legally give consent then it is illegal.

    'Society' should not decide because it's none of their business.

    the stats show that heterosexuals are the overwhelming vast majority of pedophiles, not homosexuals.

    It is today as the marketing department of the lbgtasdfafvbvr movement made up their minds.

    How could you be piggy-backing something that only existed in the 60s? Your reading comprehension needs work.

    Given that only 3% of the population is homosexual your stats are meaningless.

    You have to prove they are capable of INFORMED consent first.

    again, nobody is pushing for the acceptance of homosexuality as genetic.



    your arguments need work. civil rights isn't a single event. there is nothing to piggy back on to.

    Of course, that is the right wing, hyper partisan, shamelessly dishonest blog known as WND's interpretation of the data. which is not, clearly not what it states. Why rely on a editorialized source with a long history of blatant lies? Is it more important to support a bigoted anti gay agenda based on dishonesty than it is to accept truth on the matter?

    So is a male adult that molests a male child a "heterosexual"?
