Yet another anti-LGBT conservative caught out in gay sex scandal

I posted a story about another GOP politician resigning the other day, and then we get this. Oklahoma state senator pleads guilty to child sex charges.

Having said that, I am somewhat skeptical about the charges and what he did would not be a crime in the UK. He had sex with a 17 year old male, paid him for sex and the lad sent him some naked pictures.

For that, he has been charged with child sex trafficking (he drove him to the motel), manufacturing child pornography and sex with a minor. He will serve a minimum of ten years in prison.

Still, this ******** was a rabidly anti-LGBT legislator so I find it difficult to extend too much sympathy in his direction

Either way it makes 0 sense how you can be gay and yet suppress the rights of other gay and general LGBT community

It is illegal to possess and distribute sexual images of people under 18 in the UK. I have no idea why given the age of consent is 16 but that's a genuine thing.

So based on my knowledge he'd have 1 out of 3 over here.

It makes no sense logically. Unfortunately that is the sick moral and political world that has been created by American conservatives. That kind of moral/sexual repression always leads to hypocrisy and sexual depravity.

Maybe the chemicals that turned the frogs gay now works on humans and the democrats poisoned them!

Internalised homophobia explains it. It’s pretty common for secret homosexuals to be the loudest anti-LGBT activists etc.

Ah, interesting. To me I can't understand why you wouldn't equalise it with the age of consent, otherwise you could have two 17 year olds sending each other pics and being prosecuted for it (technically, the CPS could decide it's not in the public interest to prosecute, but still...).

I still think the charge of "child sex trafficking" is ludicrous. It dilutes the meaning and seriousness of the offence when you include things like this

American politics is inherently nonsensical.

Absolutely. The more strident someone is, the more of a loudmouth they are, in attacking the LGBT community, the more legitimate suspicion there is that they are in fact in the closet.
