Once homosexuality has been mainstreamed, sexualizing children could be the next frontier in the culture war.

Careful you don't fall on your ass as you navigate that slippery slope.
I'm not really gonna oppose that.
I've always maintained that things are only as taboo as we make them and if we stopped treating sex like it's toxic before your 18th birthday we could fix a shit load of our problems very fast.
though I'm pretty sure what your getting at is pedophilia, right?
yeah, no. that's not happening. besides, sex before puberty doesn't even make any sense.
CONSENT. CONSENT.
CONSENT!!!!
LOL! You've just proven you're out of touch with reality.
But then you're on Moonbattery, aren't you?
"Could be" is the word here. Next year, around this time, I could be millionaire. Or Nobel prize winner. Or find a cure for aids.
We all know it isn't going to happen.
Catholic Priests, that is all.
Oh, and learn what "consent" means, damn it!
"sexualizing children" is wrong no matter what your personal beliefs are. The problem isn't a religious one, it is a basic moral (and logical) one. Kids don't understand it, at such an age (and probably can't actually do said actions) so it is deemed wrong regardless of sexual orientation.
Or, as most people are probably going to respond: The real difference is CONSENT
Someone has clearly never heard of "My First Thong."
Children are already being sexualized, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with gay people having equal rights. Rather, it has to do with unbridled capitalism and the desire to increase profits by expanding the consumer base for sexy lingerie.
Yeah, because you know, earlier societies that were so wonderfully accepting of homosexuals, like Victorian society, Puritan society, medieval society, never married teenage or preteen girls off to men old enough to be their fathers with the expectation that they would soon fulfill their "wifely duties." Like Big Jilm said, where the heck have you been?
I was flipping through the channels here one night and came across a program on a channel I normally don't watch, some style channel or something. They were showing a program called, I think, "Toddlers and Tiaras" or something similar. Young girls, age 2-5,6,7 or something were competing in beauty pageants and I can tell you one thing, none of their parents were gay, they were christian heterosexuals, mostly obese women living out their own missed childhood and it was disgusting on so many levels.
If you want to get rid of what you call "sexualizing children", you should start with your heterosexual neighborhood wives who are the proponents of this "sexualizing children".
Fundie Beliefs #31 - Gay Marriage
If you support gay marriage, you must also support pedophilia, bestiality and the right to marry your toaster.
I, for one, support the right to marry your toaster. After all, its not like cows consent to being murdered for their meat.
"Once homosexuality has been mainstreamed, sexualizing children could be the next frontier in the culture war."
Says the one who sees nothing wrong in those, frankly, hideous child 'beauty contests' so prevalent in the Midwest & especially the Bible Belt states in the US. I watched a documentary about one, and like the recent documentary film "Jesus Camp", it was like being at an actual traincrash. Even with 'torture porn' films such as the "Saw" & "Hostel" series, at least it's merely visual effects. With these documentaries, they're infinitely more terrifying - because what you're seeing is REAL .
The way those poor girls (with their pushy parents* - all Religious Right types to a man & woman, it's no coincidence!) were made (and even made-up) to dress and perform as if they were adults for something that, to call it creepy, would need an entirely new definition to describe. And what was worse? Most of the audience were male (all armed with video cameras to record the proceedings). A 'beauty contest'? I can think of a more appropriate description: a paedophiles' convention.
And you DARE to accuse gays of 'sexualising children'?! Van Helsing, you and every single one of your neocon, Religious Right ilk are proof positive of what I've always said:
Hypocrisy, thy name is Fundie.

Yes it could be, but it won't you stupid fucking douchebag.
BY the way, latest story of abduction and rape of a minor that came out yesterday...nice christian man and his wife heldd a girl captive for 18 years. Just sayin'.
Re: Anon-e-moose's post
And how long before a certain The Day Today sketch involving 2 parents at such a "Beauty Contest", showing off their pre-teen daughter's "breast implants" to another contestant's parents, intended as parody, becomes a physical reality, if it hasn't already happened...?
@Nyssa of Aachen
If Richard Dawkins (and his books) is considered toxic in the Bible Belt (see that interview with Ted Faggard in the documentary "The Root Of All Evil?" to see why), then uber -satirist Chris Morris would be like the alien virus in the film "The Andromeda Strain" to fundies.

"Catholic Priests, that is all."
And not just Catholic clergy, neither:
