Scratch a homophobe, find a closet case.

ferreted out the paedophiles and homosexuals from society, in particular groups that have male children in them (whether BoyScouts, Schools, Sport teams, Churches, Congressional Offices, and even public lavatories). So the only recourse is to punish the perpetrators, when caught, to the fullest extent of the law, enforce bans on certain behaviours and types of people to be members/leaders of groups, and to have policies in which adults aren't alone with children and where random parents also attend meetings, classrooms, lockerrooms, camping, etc. The problem will never go away (pre-modern societies like the Greeks institutionalised homosexuality/paedophilia even) so education of children and enforcement of laws are the only stop-gap.

We really need to get it right in our 'society' and in the use of our language. As for which is against the law:

A pedophile is acting against out against the law and must be punished.

Homosexuality is not against the law.

Pedophile and Homosexual are not synonymous.

Those who are the most publicly homophobic are usually the hypocrites who are the most likely to be caught in compromising positions.

In this case, this particular Boy Scout leader, denying homosexual boys the right to become members of the Boy Scouts on the grounds that they would molest the other boys, was the molester himself.

We see it in right wing politics, the church leadership and the Boy Scouts.

I’m not bringing this up to be combative, but recently Alternet posted in its blog section a piece called, “What Do Conservatives Spend Their Time Thinking About?” It claimed that Conservapedia’s statistics showed its ten most-viewed pages were about homosexuality, which turns out to have been a hoax, although many liberal blogs evidently reported it as truth, as this discussion shows. I found that discussion while looking to see if the whole thing could have been a hoax, since it seemed extremely suspicious to me from the start. I didn’t happen to be emotionally inclined to see this story as those blogs did. So I mean this, then, with no disrespect, but just to be bringing up a truth - that often what we think is reasoning without being much influenced by our emotion really isn‘t. And that’s in large part why, as a Christian, I believe in using my mind but doubting many of its conclusions and assuming my own motives are influencing things, and generally not for the better. Scripture says that and I’ve seen it confirmed over and over. In the case of what’s being reported here, too, I think there are other possible ways of understanding this man’s conduct. For one, opposing homosexuality might have been the most convenient cover for him, rather than something he believed to be true. He might even have felt obligated to act in opposition to homosexuality as he did in order to keep the position he had. He also might have enjoyed deceiving people and living a double life. And he might have looked on what he was doing as a way to strike back at the opposition to homosexuality or even to pedophilia from within. I want to add to that last remark, though, that while I take psychology with a huge grain of salt, and think as a Christian that there is more of a “sociopath” in all of us than we tend to see, that if one looks at it from a non-Christian, psychological perspective, it is likely from what’s reported that his motives at bottom would be said to be sociopathic - acting from rage and resentment toward other people, including children, and wanting to make at least some suffer.

........has the tired, puffy look typical of a hard-core alcoholic. Being a hypocritical religious rightist, he denies it and condemns other boozers.
