[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, is it that gay and bisexual men are more likely to be predatory and dangerous, or why do all of these predators always turn out to be gay or bisexual? Even Harvey Weinstein had male victims, as did Epstein. Considering all the studies showing male homosexuality and male bisexuality are linked to being more sensation seeking and promiscuous, men having sex with men seems to be a red flag of male dangerousness.

I don’t think that’s true at all, but I do think being closeted and likely self-hating is correlated with bad stuff.  I’m Catholic and I think the problem with predatory priests totally arose from the hypocrisy around gay stigma.  Once you’ve said that same-sex relationships are transgressive and bad, you start to lose focus on what actually is transgressive and bad (abuse of power or lack of consent).  I think urban Black rap culture historically stigmatized gay male behavior much like the Catholic Church did, so they ended up with a similar problem.  Stigmatizing gay men is NOT the solution to the problem.  Gay men who are out and comfortable with their sexuality are probably the least likely men to be predatory.  [/quote]

This is a response that fits with what we would all like to believe as liberals. But there’s something more going on here. The incredibly high rates at which young boys are preyed upon by adult men in the gay community to the point at which [b]being sodomized as a minor by a much older man is virtually a rite of passage for gay men[/b] bears closer examination. Lying to yourself in order to avoid discomfort and keep up with progressive dogma at the expensive children isn’t good. [/quote]

Wasn't [i]Call Me By Your Name[/i], nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, like this? Luca Guadagnino, an openly gay director, cast a very young looking Timothee Chalamet (supposed to be 17 in the film) with a mature looking Armie Hammer. Then they openly discussed how Chalamet and Hammer didn't even meet each other until filming started in Italy; and for their first and only rehearsal, Luca made them do the kissing on the grass scene, and then walked away without telling them, leaving them making out until they realized he was gone. The whole thing gave me the ick, and yet it was openly celebrated in Hollywood for telling the gay story in a beautiful way.[/quote]

Yeah. I was grossed out by that the same way I was grossed out by American Beauty.  
I sort of understood that dynamic when basically all American gay teens were closeted so couldn’t easily date their peers.  Now that it’s generally so easy for teens to be out of the closet, I hope these may December romances end up in the dust bin.  [/quote]
