Perkins Perspective: Another Homosexual Sex Scandal
by Tony Perkins
January 26, 2009
Another openly gay politician is snared in a sex scandal with a teen. Portland’s first openly gay mayor, Sam Adams — who just took office earlier this month — has now acknowledge he lied to cover up a sexual relationship he had with a young man he was “mentoring” in 2005.
This is reminiscent of former Congressman Mark Foley, who was caught hitting on male teens who served as pages on Capitol Hill.
While I know that not every homosexual person preys on youth, it sure seems that many of the sex scandals involving homosexual public figures disproportionately involve young, easily influenced and impressionable teens.
Repeated incidents like these only serve to validate the Boy Scouts policy prohibiting homosexual scout masters. The Boy Scouts have stood their ground despite enormous pressure from homosexual activists and their corporate allies who have cut off donations to the Scouts. These businesses and government agencies that are carrying the water for the homosexuals on this issue should be forced to explain their intolerance of the truth every time there is a case like this.

Extrapolating from a sample size of two? A biased sample at that – it only includes the people immature enough to be caught, and sensational enough to get noticed.
So when you say “many of the sex scandals involving homosexual public figures disproportionately involve young, easily influenced and impressionable teens,” it’s not surprising at all – you are only including the ones who got into a scandal, and ignoring all the non-scandelous gays who don’t do anything worthy of a headline. As merely being gay isn’t a scandal any more, that only leaves creepy age difference or abuse of position at grounds for making it into the news.
