How Calling Kevin Spacey a Pedophile Hurts the Gay Community
Slate ^ | November 1, 2017 | Joseph Fischel

Posted on 11/02/2017 6:20:00 AM PDT by C19fan

Everyone loves to hate a pedophile, even if they’ve made him up.

Immediately after Kevin Spacey tweeted an apology on Sunday night for allegedly making sexual advances toward a then-teenaged Anthony Rapp in 1986, he was “Milo-ed”—demonized and outcast under the banner of pedophilia—mostly by gay leaders, but also by everyone else (even here at Slate and by Milo himself).

That may be the scientific understanding but it is normal for the meaning of words in a culture to develop in ways that are not constrained by prior or academically-accepted definitions. And in the USA Today, pedophilia pretty much refers to adult (usually homosexual male) sexual activity with a minor (under 18 and usually a boy). That is how the term is typically used so there being a different book definition means very little to most of us and frankly arguing for some other definition often sounds like an attempt to over-complicate and take the moral opprobrium away from something horrible and disgusting that is rather simple and easily understood.

What a twisted word salad this article is. But how else can the deviant “community” hope to defend itself from the truth?

Kevin Spacey is a pedophile and Kevin Spacey is “gay.” But I repeat myself.

Here's a sick look at but one of the defending comments at the Slate article.

He was 26 at the time and there's no excuse for throwing oneself sexually on anyone of any age. But let's stop clutching our pearls so much, shall we? Teenage boys aren't children in terms of sexuality, as everyone knows who ever was a teenage boy. So happens that I fell in love for the first time with another man at age of fourteen and he was 26! Nothing came of it and I only realized years later that he was gay too and it would have done me a world of good and spared me a lot of unnecessary suffering about my sexuality, if something had come of it. - Blueflash

Give them a forum, and the perverts will openly confess if you just give them enough rope.

Pedophile, Pederast, child molester, chicken hawk, etc. What else can we come up with?

Well, there's always prison yard slang. Short eyes. That one can get you dead.

Then the icing on the cake was he said he was gay by choice.

This statement has thrown the sodomites into an absolute tizzy. Their secret is out, and they don't know how to handle it.

You obviously have never read a transcript of Eve Ensler’s Vagina Monologues.

Lesbian are the same.

Short eyes? I have no clue what that one means.

And as I try to imagine about it, I still do not get it.

Is this one I have to go to ghettoslang.com to figure out?

I also remember an Arab telling me that Pitchers can never be catchers and catchers can never be pitchers, but I think he was talking about adults.

Pretty simple. Short eyes have eyes for short (short people, i.e. children).

I’m not holding my breath for the Slate headline “How The Gay Community Hurts Young Males By Refusing To Acknowledge Their Massive Problem With Pedophile Homosexuals.”

I really don’t think we should be accepting of PC definitions and that is what that is.

Check the links. Paedophilia is only an incidental part of the problem.

I’m afraid we have become Sodom and Gomorrah, and are heading for its same fate.

Just a matter of time....

The organizer of the LGBT movement was a pedophile. His main reason to organize the LGBT’s was to create an environment conducive for pedophilia.
