Boy Love, Jordan and Gannon, and Blogroll
Putting aside for a moment the predations of homosexual priests on altar boys, we are not conditioned to think of males as victims of sex ctrimes. Indeed, guys have a word for the man or boy who is preyed on by an attractive older woman: luckyEvery boy's fantasy right? Pitts again argues that "12-year-old boys are still largely unformed, still emotionally undeveloped, still in the process of becoming." Remember, when we see the books appear, when the networks do the movie of the week, this is not a love story. Remember, too, that an organization called NAMBLA (The North American Man/Boy Love Association) wants to educate society about the positive and beneficial nature of man/boy love. Let's get our outrage back!

Yesterday, I posted on the difference in coverage in The Oregonian of Eason Jordan and Jeff Gannon. I asked the paper to do their job, the one we as subscribers pay them to do. I emailed the article to all members of the editorial board. (Their emails adresses are here.) I haven't had any response from the lot, but with their permission, I will let you know what they say. Before the last word on this subject is written, I would ask The Oregonian staff to read PowerLine's post Have They No Shame? No, Actually, They Don't. It's a point by point rebuttal to their editorial.
