Gay rights campaigner

[brionon]

Given Life for assaults on children is to be locked up with er-- lots of Men ? some punishment ! What do you think?

Link to story???

I don't get it?

Are you trying to imply that paedophiles are gay?

[daffy654]

Surely the fact he/they are locked up away from children is the main point. The man you mention brionon may be a gay rights campaigner but he is obviously more attracted to children than adults.

Is this the story?

There was only a side link on the BBC news website to it,no headlines as such.

Lets hope they don't get access to the internet whilst in prison!
I will never understand how someone can be sexually attracted to a young child or infant,it is beyond my comprehension.

Jake – What don’t you get?

“Neil Strachan, 41, attempted to rape an 18-month-old boy…”

And

“[James] Rennie had circulated pictures of the abuse and offered a boy to other paedophiles - an offer taken up by Strachan.”


No one is saying that all paedophiles are gay but Strachan clearly is and it looks likely that Rennie may well be too.

And Fred West was straight - so what?

I think if you're attracted to an 18 month year old, pimarily you're sick, rather than gay or straight.

I'm going to write something pretty offensive here, buy bear with me...

I can 'understand' (but not condone) someone who is attracted to say, a 15 year old. There's that while St. Trinian's thing (which frankly, turns my stomach).

But I will never be able to get how someone could have sex with an infant. It just doesn't compute. It's like being attracted to concrete, or daffodils.

I await the brickbats.

I'm still unsure what the questioner brionon meant, he seemed to be implying that because the offender is gay he's going to have a great time in a men's prison. Is the question as stupid as it sounds or am I missing something?
