How dare I suggest that all gay men are into post-pubescent teens? The short answer is: I didn’t. Nevertheless, a lot of gay readers are clearly on defensive auto-pilot. For example:

Most of the gay men I know would be horrified at the thought of having sex
with a 16 or 17 year old. I know I would. Most of us are pretty disgusted
by anyone who feels the need to pick up teenage street hustlers for sex, and
I would bet that if you were able to do some type of survey, you would find
that the majority of men who go for that kind of sex are closeted, married
men for whom I personally have little or no sympathy (in this day and age
there should be no good reason for anyone to feel the need to get married to
hide their sexuality and there is no good reason for anyone to stay in the
closet). If I were to stereotype Jews the way you have just tried to
stereotype gay men, the uproar would be phenomenal, but if you want
stereotypes, how about this: Most liberal Democrats are pretty upfront
about who they are and what they believe and don’t invest a lot of time in
trying to hide anything. With conservatives, you never know what kind of
nasty little secrets they are trying to hide.
I haven’t talked to any gay man or woman who feels any real sympathy for
Mark Foley other than to wonder what happened that caused him to become so
twisted. Personally, I feel he deserves whatever punishment he has coming
to him. I don’t care if he was the best politician that either party had to
offer and I think it’s sad that so many Republicans are more concerned over
the potential loss of a seat than they are about his reprehensible behavior.
