I agree. That NPR debacle is inexcusable.
The fact that a married heterosexual man can sexually abuse male children for years with the help and support of a plethora of heterosexuals and it will become fodder for the religious Right to condemn homosexuality, gay marriage, adoption and foster care rights for homosexuals and even the very idea of any gay person engaging in any activity or employment where they come in contact with children is the height of hypocrisy.
Not to mention it shows a deeply entrenched and disturbingly blatant disregard for the truth. Doesn’t god demand the truth from believers and religious practitioners? Or is their god Machiavellian in its nature and believes the end will justify the means no matter how unfair and untrue?
And dangerous, because as most of us who have ever been little girls, and female children are abused more frequently than male children to the tune of at least 6 to 1, can tell you, the overwhelming majority of pedophiles are heterosexual men. So while they are so busy keeping homosexuals away from their children, the married heterosexual father of 3 who lives next door is diddling their little darling. And despite their belief to the contrary he is not a gay man hiding in the closest no matter the sex of his victims. Does the truth of who are the perpetrators of child sexual abuse even matter to them? Or does the joy of homosexual hunting far outweigh their interest in the safety of their own children?
For the record, and especially in case someone should wonder at the odd phraseology of this thread title, I do not believe what happened at Penn State should be called a gay sex abuse scandal. The WTF I added to the title was not because I am appalled and disgusted by what happened, although I am, it was an expression of how confused and disturbed I am by the idea that people are calling pedophilia perpetrated on male children as gay sex.
