We hung out, we laughed a lot, we played ugly music together, we watched ECW, we played N64, we ate a ton of fucking Chinese food, we lived in the same house for a bunch of years, etc.
Dude even got me into Cripple Bastards, Rupture, Discordance Axis, Regurgitate, Driller Killer, and Denak.
He was solid. Period.
That's why it bugs the shit out of me to see a bunch right wing weirdos racing back to the 1950's with the gay = pedophile "they cant control their urges" shit... It's just absolutely not so.
Am I saying gays can't be predators, groomers or whatever the pearl clutching buzz-word of the day is? Absolutely not. It's just that I think that they're not any more or less likely than anyone else, straight white evangelicals included.
Unfortunately, whatever "intel" you think you've gleaned from watching the TV and screwing around on the internet, most kids are victimized by people they know and trust... That is: family, friends, coaches, etc. Not a shadowy cabal of satanic human trafficking gays.
Don't agree? Well then, as long as you're over 18 you have my express written consent to fucking blow me.
