I still don't get the outrage. Pedophilia is probably the worst crime there is and pedos should be executed, but what did he say about defending pedos?
Didn't he say when he was 17 he had a relationship with a 29 yr old priest? Then said that IN THE GAY WORLD, not the non-gay, conventional world we live in, that type of thing is very common.
An older gay will have a relationship with a younger gay, although he was 17 which i wouldn't think is that young and is over the age limit.
I understand what he was trying to say about these relationships happening so much. Maybe he meant that in the relationships there are beneficial things for the younger person as in coming to terms with his sexuality or something? If you are a young gay bloke i imagine every day life can be difficult. Bullying at school possibly, all types of things, and the whole time that person and his desires seem perfectly normal to him.
So i think he is saying that meeting someone older with life experience who has lived thru the same difficulties are beneficial to the young one. Even if its just talking about how to survive in a world where quite often a gay is public enemy number one.
As far as i'm aware he didn't say anything about raping 10 yr olds, did he? About forcing kids to have sex with old guys? Or have i misread what he said?
I'm happy to condem the guy but only if i think he has said the wrong thing. Saying that his experiences with older guys weren't awful doesn't equate to 'i think everyone needs a pedo in their life!'
