That Tatchell lad is an odious creep and that has nothing to do with the fact he is gay. He seems to claim his letter to the guardian was edited though so thatās fine according to his defenders on Twitter. Never mind his views are quite clear on the matter.

Didnāt Norris have something similar a few years ago and it came out when he was running for president?

Sounds familiar alright, something about age of consent in Ancient Greece
Which reminds me of one of the most annoying things in the world is when Senator Norris (when discussing Joyce) puts on his inner city accent

On this score he told āMagillā: āBut in terms of classic paedophilia, as practised by the Greeks for example, where it is an older man introducing a younger man or boy to adult life, I think that there can be something to be said for it.ā
Good post, the David Norris thing was very serious as well back in the day.
Attacking John Connors is completely missing the point. ROG has to explain about what happened. If the āonly met him once storyā is a lie then heās already compromised as minister and should resign. Same lads defending this lie are probably (rightly) shitting all over Barry Cowen.
I was thinking about the Norris thing last night. Iāve a gay friend who lost his virginity very young (in transition year) to an older man, a chemistry teacher from Belfast who used to drive down to Monaghan for the dogging scene. My friend would never say he was damaged or exploited and has no ill feelings but eventually years later he got big into the Glasgow chemsex scene, even to the stage where he was organising chemsex weekends himself, probably coining a bit on the side from it on the side. I wonder could his life have gone a bit differently. Like, if losing your virginity a bit older is OK for straight people could it not be OK for gays as well.
But really what I was thinking last night was the fucking state of Norris, fucking gabby cunt, announcing to the world that found the idea of sexy between an older man and a teenager erotic. What the fuck does it matter if Norris finds it erotic or not? And once you go down the road of āI find this eroticā the risk of the kid getting damaged or exploited will inevitably be brushed aside.
The other thing Iād say inagine if that was your young lad.

The country is being run by others and not who it is they say are running it if this person is allowed maintain his appointed new role in government. This revelation shakes the new government to the core. Michael Martin had better put this right fast.
I always used to think a nutmeg meant collecting it also on the other side. But Iāll allow it on this occasion.
Thatās bloody bullying.
You know nothing about training children.
You need to bring them down a peg or two every so often. Nothing worse than a confident child.

Irish Freedom Party - yet John screams racism whenever someone questions the bad side of his community
An old secondary teacher of mine would chide us almost on a daily basis, saying
āI wish I knew now, what I thought I knew when I was your ageā
Smart man. Naturally none of us appreciated it at all at the time.
Heās joining a party there who will fight for the rights of all Travellers, smart move by John.
Education is the key
Of John?

Peter Tatchell was on The Last Word with Matt Cooper this evening. Heās a regular contributor to that show. He came across to me as very convincing. He said that when he was talking about the age of consent he meant that two 14 or two 15 year olds that have sex shouldnāt be criminalised and he didnāt mean adults should be allowed with 14 or 15 years olds. He said the far-right online were after him for years because he was a gay man working for gay rights and they were deliberately misrepresenting him. He came across as a much straighter talker than John Connors or GOD or the like. Overall, Iād believe him based on what I heard.
Roderick OāGorman also gave a statement saying that he only met Tatchell the once.
Tatchell is a big deal in the UK, even if Iāve never heard of him before. Heās supposed to have turned down the offer of a peerage in the House of Lords. His wikipedia page is massive, which is what really matters. Heās been given honorary doctorates and human rights awards. There were 1000s of people at Dublin Gay Pride Day and there are loads of people in all the photos Iāve seen.
The letter to the Guardian was a bit mad and obviously misjudged but Tatchell says it was edited and he also says that it was in response to an attempt to shut down academic debate which is why the letter talks about anthropologists and Papua New Guinea. The letter also says that paedophilia cannot be condoned.
You were right to raise the issue because the allegation is so serious. You were right as well when you said OāGorman should be above reproach.
But now Iāve looked into it, based on OāGorman having met the guy once at a big march and based on Tatchell probably not being a paedophile apologist anyway, it looks to me like OāGorman has done nothing wrong and John Connors and the Irish Freedom Party are an unmerciful pack of cunts.
Heās a proper thug and a liar. He is evangelical about outing gay men because he has decided itās their duty to be out, and that tripe about two fourteen year olds is a canard. Himself and his cronies know perfectly well that older men and kids is par for the courseā¦the narrative is that it happened to them and it didnāt do them any harm.
