The House Homophobe Speaks

Jonah:

I’m not going to leave you alone out there getting beaten up on by angry homosexuals.  Heck, that’s my job.

Even if we believe that male homosexuals are precisely as attracted to male jail-bait as male heterosexuals are to the female euqivalent, the association of male homosexuality with under-age sex would still have some excuse. 

All human males are sexually attracted to the freshness of youth, including unlawfully extreme youth, in sex partners.  The sexual interest of the human female is more complicated, linked to things like ability-to-provision, social status, security of bond, etc.

Thus, while the natural word-association for “underage female sex object” would be “human males in general,” the equivalent association for “underage male sex object” is not “human females in general,” occasional eccentrics like Ms. LeFave notwithstanding.  It is “male homosexuals in general.”
