As one of the people that might take offence from Ache, I appreciate your arguing this one out. But Ake is a troll best left unfed, I think. I have this picture of him relaxing of an evening with a nice dram of scotch (single malt, probably an Islay) chuckling away at all the reaction he provokes.
I haven't read the whole of this thread - has anyone pointed out that most child abuse is of girls, by straight men - normally the father or a close male relative? What proportion of boys/girls are involved as victims of priests? It certainly won't be an all-male experience, I fear.
It's the same old tired narrative of the bonkers bigots. There are some people with whom discussion is utterly pointless. At one Gay/Lesbian pride march in London in the '90s there were people wearing T-Shirts with the slogan - "Give us your kids: what we can't fuck, we eat!"
Absurdly bad taste, but an excellent riposte to the equally absurd narrative that gay=paedophile. People who believe that are beyond intelligent discussion, so screw 'em.
