The people that defended and enabled Sandusky were not as far as I know public or private supporters of gay marriage.
Some elements of the Catholic Church have protected and hidden pedophiles for decades. Again, these were not by and large gay marriage partisans.
And the Brooklyn Haredim who oppose reporting pedophilia in their community to the authorities and have gone so far as to claim that the rabbis should decide if a child sex crime is worthy of reporting and/or punishment are also as far as I know, fiercely opposed to gay marriage.
In short, pedophilia is a disgusting crime which doesn't have anything to do with gay marriage, gay acceptance or whether sexual orientation should be considered among the elements which would indicate a federal hate crime.
There are ways to argue against gay marriage or elevated level of scrutiny in hate crimes that don't require making the abuse of children analogous to consensual adult relationships.
Pedophilia and gay marriage do have something in common. Both are evidence of the continuing decline of society. It just so happens that one is gaining more support at the moment.
I am in agreement. A few years ago, I would have said it was all right. I am from small town, and was more liberal before coming to big city for college. Between what I see at my university, and what I see on news and in New York City, I have changed my views drastically on the issue. Gays said they only wanted equality, but it seems they try to push to see how offensive they can behave without getting reprimanded by anyone. Pedophilia is worse than two people of same sex hooking, but point of what they are doing to society is valid one, in my opinion.
