It makes my stomach turn as well, and I have a daughter, which is why I said I'd move the age of consent to mid to late twenties, but those are my own visceral reactions to something, not objective views.Speaker to Animals wrote:Okeefenokee wrote:It's also legal for straight people to have sex with minors, the age of consent being 16 and all, but I don't any upset over that.Speaker to Animals wrote:Not accepting the assertion that is okay for a grown man to have sex with a minor is "hating on gays" now?
Holy shit you have jumped the shark today.
I don't give a shit about the legality of what he suggested. Do you agree with him that it is morally okay for an older man to groom a teenage boy for gay sex? That's really what it comes down to. I have a son, man. Sorry. Not cool.
What I saw from Milo was that he said it is common for older gay men to have relationships with younger men. He said he was fine with the age of consent, which I take to mean he isn't advocating dipping below that line. I think that puts him in the same camp as other men who date younger women who are of legal age.
Even though it's legal, when we see it, we generally have a negative reaction.
What's she doing with him?
He's robbing the cradle.
That sort of thing.
