Is this a joke?
Alas not. Peter Tatchell, who is treated as a perfectly serious and respectable figure even though he campaigns to lower the age of consent to 14 (and thus, I might add, to make legal almost every act that has brought scandal on the Catholic Church), really does believe that the taxpayers of London, and of the country as a whole, should be made to pay for a "lesbian and gay world football championship" and a "lesbian and gay museum".
Any suggestions as to exhibits? We'll start, of course, with Peter Tatchell.
Lowering the age of consent to 14 would not get rid of much scandal for the RC church. Much younger children than 14 were abused. In most cases I'd have thought. And it was of course abuse and not consensual sex in any case.
ReplyDeleteNot at all. Almost without exception, they were acts with teenage boys, illegal (rightly, I might add) on age grounds alone.
ReplyDeleteSuch acts are incited and defended by the likes of Tatchell, and glorified on things like 'Queer As Folk' and 'Clapham Junction'.
Well might Catholic priests be prosecuted for this sort of thing, but they are practically the only people who ever would be.
