Not gay…
by Matt Comer, February 3, 2008, 11:22 am
A blogger quotes a story of a man suing the Boy Scouts of America for not dismissing two child molesters after learning of their abuse of boys in the program.
He then states:
And if they had dismissed the two Scoutmasters would they be getting accused of discrimination against gays?
Probably not. Gays were not a protected species back then.
Whether that would be true these days is another matter. You know you can’t dismiss anyone of a protected group for any reason without being accused of discrimination.
In case he didn’t get the memo: Being gay doesn’t make you a child molester and being a child molester doesn’t make you gay. These two men were perverts (if not pedophiles), not gay.
