Boy Scout: *sob* My troop leader is molesting me! Leader: That's ok, son... as long as he's not gay!
“Because gay men are rarely child molesters.”
And birds are rarely whooping cranes. Yet all whooping cranes are birds. Go figure!
HETEROsexual child molesters rarely molest same-sex children.Child molesters who molest same-sex children are, by definition, “HOMOsexual Child Molesters.”
Most child molesters are HETEROsexual Child Molesters. I think Girl Scouts don’t have male leaders. That may be one reason. I haven’t heard any objection to that policy.
Back to 1st paragraph: If your goal is to keep whooping cranes out of your fish pond, preventing all bird access may not be the optimal solution. If (remember: “if”) your goal is to prevent chile molestation, banning all homosexuals may not be the optimal solution.If you have other goals (e.g., removing homosexual influence) then banning all homosexual leaders may be optimal. I think that’s probably the goal. Whether or not you or I agree with that goal is a separate issue.
At any rate, thinking clearly and objective analysis independent of preconceived desired outcomes is really, really important.
(Postmoderns disagree with that last statement because they do not think rationality & objective truth are attainable, if they exist at all.)
