They were teenage boys. Hastert was sexually attracted to them and he sodomized them, therefore Hastert is a faggot. It's not rocket science.
The word "pedophile" is misused all the time. These weren't pre-pubescent little children, they were young men. He's a faggot rapist.
Or adulterer
EXACTLY. Gay rights groups have gotten away from their members being tarred by sexual abuse scandals because every time some middle aged homo goes after 16 year old teens, they and the media report as a "pedophile" who is raping "little boys".
Willing teenagers and innocent toddlers are two entirely different kinds of sex scandals. Most of the so-called "pedophile priests" had zero interest in children as well, and were flaming homos who entered the Catholic priesthood with the intent of finding suitable male partners. But the liberal media will never report the truth because it would make the gaystapo look bad.
He’s a faggot, period - exactly.
