Gay Bashing

Just when I thought it was acceptable in cultured circles to be homosexual, I find out that it's really not. The elitists over at the New York Times are revolted by Mark Foley's suggestive emails to young male Congressional pages:

The Foley Matter
Editorial

That House leaders knew Representative Mark Foley had been sending inappropriate e-mail to Capitol pages and did little about it is terrible. (link)

Really? What's so terrible about it? For that matter, if nobody was being harmed, what was inappropriate about the emails? Is there a bit of prudishness coming through here?

I'm getting more satisfaction out of this story than I should. You see, it's these very people who attempt on a regular basis to try and separate out homosexuality from other deviant behaviors by arguing that nobody is being harmed in a gay relationship, it therefore gets an exemption.

Or not.

Maybe these holier-than-thous who decry Jerry Falwell's scriptural lectures on morality are of like mind after all.

Either that or they're just utterly confused.
