According to anti-gay activist Robert Oscar Lopez’s column in American Thinker yesterday, anti-gay laws in Russia and India may be “extreme measures” but they are necessary to quash the gay community, which he claims is dominated by child predators.
Lopez points to the relationship between screenwriter Dustin Lance Black and Olympic diver Tom Daley as proof that “the chronic, timeless state of the homosexual man is to chase after pubescent boys,” lamenting that gay people in the West now want “to spread their sickness all over the globe.”
“The West’s gay community is sick, and I cannot blame countries outside the West for deciding to take extreme measures,” he writes.
I cannot blame Russia, India, or any nation for reacting to what they see in the West with measures that I would ostensibly oppose on principle. Russia’s ban on promoting homosexuality to children does impinge on free speech. India’s ban on sodomy is an intrusion into the sex lives of consenting adults. But we don’t live in an ostensible world. We live in a real world, where there are real gay organizations in the West, who are engaging in real machinations to spread their sickness all over the globe.
It’s time to admit it, my gay brothers: Our culture is sick
Gay male culture in the United States, Canada, Latin America, and much of Europe is sick. It is literally plagued with disease — not only HIV (which is rising again), but also syphilis (which has made a comeback). And Michelangelo Signorile, the dowager prince of gay news at the Huffington Post, admitted at long last what gay watchdog groups had been denying for decades upon decades: the chronic, timeless state of the homosexual man is to chase after pubescent boys.
Signorile has been busy defending 39-year-old Dustin Lance Black, the screenwriter who seduced a 19-year-old boy — and yes, a teenager is a boy, period, even if he is a gold medalist; for heaven’s sake, he can’t even legally drink alcohol in the U.S. Signorile called the sleazy predation “intergenerational sex” and explained to all the “homophobic” people who might object that in the gay world, it’s normal for old men to sodomize boys.
…
I have stopped asking, “Where are the parents?” Half the time, the parents are encouraging it. For instance, it seems the mother of a fourteen-year-old boy encouraged her son to have sex with Caleb Laieski, the older teen activist honored by President Obama at the White House, and a 43-year old homosexual policeman. The parents of Tyler Clementi, who killed himself after a 30-year-old man went into his freshman dormitory and a roommate filmed it, didn’t focus their outrage at the gay man who was having sex with a boy who happened to be their son. Instead, Clementi’s mother appeared in the New York Times blaming herself and her church!
Over the last few years I have pondered the question — what would have happened had the gay rights movement not made so many mistakes? What if they had focused on building up a functional, healthy gay culture, rather than ignoring the problems under their noses and waging pointless symbolic wars over marriage, not to mention the fool’s errand of adoption, which is the wrong thing to propose to a community full of men who sodomize boys?
Back to Russia and India
Perhaps, if the West’s gay community had not become so sick, there would be no “anti-gay” law in Russia, and perhaps the judges in India would have been less inclined to uphold the ban on sodomy. We will never know what might have been. We know what is. The West’s gay community is sick, and I cannot blame countries outside the West for deciding to take extreme measures.
