re: So all you guys that like Milo now

Milo's response.

I do not support pedophilia. Period. It is a vile and disgusting crime, perhaps the very worst. There are selectively edited videos doing the rounds, as part of a co-ordinated effort to discredit me from establishment Republicans, that suggest I am soft on the subject.

If it somehow comes across (through my own sloppy phrasing or through deceptive editing) that I meant any of the ugly things alleged, let me set the record straight: I am completely disgusted by the abuse of children.

Some facts to consider:

1. I have outed THREE pedophiles in my career as a journalist. That's three more than any of my critics and a peculiar strategy for a supposed pedophile apologist.

(a) Luke Bozier, former business partner of Louise Mensch

2. I have repeatedly expressed disgust at pedophiles in my journalism.

3. I have never defended and would never defend child abusers, as my reporting history shows. The world is messy and complicated, and I recognize it as such, as this furore demonstrates. But that is a red line for any decent person.

4. The videos do not show what people say they show. I *did* joke about giving better head as a result of clerical sexual abuse committed against me when I was a teen. If I choose to deal in an edgy way on an internet livestream with a crime I was the victim of that's my prerogative. It's no different to gallows humor from AIDS sufferers.

5. National Review, whose journalists are tweeting about this, published an article defending Salon for giving a pedophile a platform.

6. I did say that there are relationships between younger men and older men that can help a young gay man escape from a lack of support or understanding at home. That's perfectly true and every gay man knows it. But I was not talking about anything illegal and I was not referring to pre-pubescent boys.

7. I said in the same "Drunken Peasants" podcast from which the footage is taken that I agree with the current age of consent.

8. I shouldn't have used the word "boy" when I talked about those relationships between older men and younger gay men. (I was talking about my own relationship when I was 17 with a man who was 29. The age of consent in the UK is 16.) That was a mistake. Gay men often use the word "boy" when they refer to consenting adults. I understand that heterosexual people might not know that, so it was a sloppy choice of words that I regret.

9. This rush to judgment from establishment conservatives who hate Trump as much as they hate me, before I have had any chance to provide context or a response, is one of the big reasons gays vote Democrat.

10. In case there is any lingering doubt, here's me, in the same interview the other footage is taken from, affirming that the current legal age of consent is about right: "And I think the law is probably about right. It's probably roughly the right age. I think it's probably about ok. But there are certainly people who are capable of giving consent at a younger age. I certainly consider myself to be one of them, people who were sexually active younger. I think it particularly happens in the gay world, by the way."

So Milo was sexually abused by a priest?

Apparently.

Attraction to teenagers is not pedophilia, by definition. And I could show you some pictures of 13 year olds you would be attracted to (because you wouldn't realize they were 13). And historically, 13 was a very common age for people (especially women) to be wed.

MANNNNN
Where were all of y'all the other day when I was arguing that IF most of the victims were post-pubescent, then it's false and slanderous to say the Catholic Church had a big problem with pedophilia?

Wouldn't it make much more sense to believe the Church became populated with a higher proportion of gay Priests (higher than the proportion im the general population), and that they did what gays often do with 13-15 year old boys when given the opportunity?

Altar boys are usually young teenagers. Gays, either by design or coincidence, joined the Priesthood in large numbers since the 1960s and thereby gained unsupervised access to teenaged boys. They covered up for each other's diddling because in the gay community there is support for such activity. That's the narrative that makes sense.

FYI

Look, Donald J Trump is your president. Come to terms with it and deal with it. My 12 year old daughter deals with adversity better than you people, stop reaching. You're embarrassing yourselves over and over and over

Does your little girl whine as much when she has won EVERYTHING as the GOP and especially Trump is doing???

Im sick of the whining on both sides to be honest...we are a nation of whiners. DOn't like Trump work to defeat Republicans in 2018. Don't like the mean old unfair media go into journalism and change it....or just bitch and moan and see where that gets anyone....

Sex with 13-15 year olds isn't pedophilia dip shite. Pedophilia, by definition, is sexual attraction to pre-pubertal children.

Words have meanings goddammit

DAYUM.....Dude is really uspset about someone suggesting that fricking a 13 year old boy is wrong.....

Girls may wed at any age, but sexual activity is illegal until the onset of puberty

So not pedophilia

Woooow. Cut that quote a sentence short, I see.

I don't understand how he is so "pro God" but also a sodomite. So no I don't agree with him. He seems to be really conflicted on many fronts. Or a plant.

Around 25% of gay people in America identify as Christians

So I haven't kept up with this thread. Are "conservatives" now ok with promoting sex between men and boys now because Trump? Have we gotten that far yet?

It's almost like you're stupid or something.
