Why don't you do the same thing you are encouraging them to do? After all, you need to distance yourself from a group that has nothing to do with you....or does it?

Cupcake hasn't been a homosexual or a pedophile since he saw the Light .

Which reminds me to ask... Cupcake, back when you thought there was nothing wrong with homosexuality, back before you learned to Think Your Own Thoughts(tm), did you distance yourself from pedophilia actively? Did you think pedophilia was OK? Did you think at that time that pedophilia, homosexuality and over-eating were interconnected?

Pandering to homophobic bigots would be pointless; denouncing anything other than homosexuals will not satisfy them.

What looks really, really stupid is the attempt to equate equal rights for gays with NAMBLA; that's akin to equating equal rights for muslims with Al Queda.

Of what? That there is a link between homosexuality and pedophilia? No - but it would show that homosexual activists have sufficient moral fiber to say no to what they know is vile. If they can't say no to NAMBLA, just what CAN they say no to?

I have failed to distance myself sufficiently from NAMBLA to suit your taste? Really? Would it help if I said I'd like to see the lot of them burned alive?

Why do you ask?

They can and should say "no" to the demands of homophobic bigots

I suppose I should feel honored that you have bestowed upon me this term of ensneerment.

NAMBLA didn't exist in those days. And I was never a homosexual rights advocate.

No. But then I've never said that all homosexual activists think pedophilia is OK, so I don't exactly see the point of the question.

Then I guess that means they should embrace NAMBLA, huh?

There is no reason to dissociate from NAMBLA beyond pandering to "bigots"?

It suits you, y'know. vaguely obnoxious, bording on rude... Seriously, if it bugs you I'll stop. I like it.

What's the difference, if you were willing to say homosexuality was not immoral? And NAMBLA wasn't the topic of the thread, it was pedophilia in general. It was Fr. Andrew we were supposed to rush to distance ourselves from.

Just checking.
