The dirty little secret of the gay comunity is that they like young flesh. Perhaps not pre-adolescent, but definately young teens.

Ok...We knew it might happen (This soon, maybe not), but I have a employee who is a sex offender (he is 26 and gay). His crime, being caught when he was 17 with his lover who was 14. The 14 year old's mom caught them in bed (On a sleepover that the 14 year old ask if he could). Now is that pedophilia? According to Florida it is.

Now, if the 17 year old was RAPING the boy (and yes, they are still a couple. The now 23 year old is a chef), I would say that is bad. Teens do fall in love all the time... my best friend fell in love with his now wife when they met in the 6th grade -- 31 years ago. What should the age differences be as teen... if you go by grades...some kids will be older then others, should it be 2 years or 3..? It is hard to decide. If a 30 year old fell in love with a 12 year old...that is Creepy.

I think the best of the dissents was written by Thomas:

Instead, the States have refused to grant them governmental entitlements. Petitioners claim that as a matter of “liberty,” they are entitled to access privileges and benefits that exist solely because of the government. They want, for example, to receive the State’s imprimatur on their marriages—on state issued marriage licenses, death certificates, or other official forms. And they want to receive various monetary benefits, including reduced inheritance taxes upon the death of a spouse, compensation if a spouse dies as a result of a work-related injury, or loss of consortium damages in tort suits. But receiving governmental recognition and benefits has nothing to do with any understanding of “liberty” that the Framers would have recognized.

To the extent that the Framers would have recognized a natural right to marriage that fell within the broader definition of liberty, it would not have included a right to governmental recognition and benefits. Instead, it would have included a right to engage in the very same activities that petitioners have been left free to engage in—making vows, holding religious ceremonies celebrating those vows, raising children, and otherwise enjoying the society of one’s spouse—without governmental interference. At the founding, such conduct was understood to predate government, not to flow from it...

...In a concession to petitioners’ misconception of liberty, the majority characterizes petitioners’ suit as a quest to “find...liberty by marrying someone of the same sex and having their marriages deemed lawful on the same terms and conditions as marriages between persons of the opposite sex.” Ante, at 2. But “liberty” is not lost, nor can it be found in the way petitioners seek. As a philosophical matter, liberty is only freedom from governmental action, not an entitlement to governmental benefits. And as a constitutional matter, it is likely even narrower than that, encompassing only freedom from physical restraint and imprisonment. The majority’s “better informed understanding of how constitutional imperatives define...liberty,” ante, at 19,—better informed, we must assume, than that of the people who ratified the Fourteenth Amendment—runs headlong into the reality that our Constitution is a “collection of ‘Thou shalt nots,’” Reid v. Covert, 354 U. S. 1, 9 (1957) (plurality opinion), not “Thou shalt provides.”

The LGBT community will likely NOT want to extend rights like that to pedophiles. I know people who are gay at work and they were horrified at the Jerry Sandusky scandal and the gay community disawowed itself from Sandusky as fast as possible.

But do you really know why they were against it? It could have been they knew the association with it hurt the cause they focused on in gay marriage, since it exposed the slippery slope they were desperately denying was there.

I kept telling everyone that one day Sandusky would get an apology for the inconvenience and a complimentary young boy for his troubles.

Ha! And as an added incentive for the rest of the country, so that we don’t make any such further errors such as we did with good ol Jerry, I heard the NCAA is going to award a complimentary undefeated season to any football program who can produce documentation of a molester coach...

“The dirty little secret of the gay comunity is that they like young flesh. “

Like the Shakers, they don’t reproduce so they gotta recruit.

I’ve been wondering a lot over the last six years, but particularly over the last day or two, if federal government `movers & shakers’ have any idea of the amount of contempt the average American has for them.

Feel me?

Do you have a link for that? I’d love to send it to some acquaintances who are ecstatic over the SC ruling.

If the adult does not feel anxious about the relationship with the child or if he is not impaired in his work or social relationships, then he has no “disorder.” ...

Great...I’ve noticed that I’ve been having amorous feelings towards my bicycle, though it hasn’t impaired my social status at all...

So wonderful to know my cyclophilia is completely ordered, as I freewheel my way through life...

Agree.

I thought the agreed PC order was Trans, then polygamists, THEN pedophiles.

Must have missed an update from MSM somewhere.

As the years go by, keep an eye on the libertarians, and child porn.

There have already been early signals from them, and they aren’t good.

There is no such thing as “equal rights” anywhere in the Constitution. There is only a “born equal”

Correct and its essential meaning is that no one is born with the natural right to rule over another, thus, when devising a just form of government, the authority to govern must be derived by "consent of the governed." This was a central tenet that guided the forming of our Constitution. . and it has all but been lost after years of destructive policies put forth by the tyranny of the progressive Left.

It is not by consent that marriage has been redefined, but by an act of tyranny
