A ‘Gay App’ for 12-Year-Olds, and Hey, What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Creeptastic software: Some very clever Harvard types (are there any other kind?) believe that, when it comes to apps, the gay community hasn’t offered the full bloom of its most tasteful side. So they’ve created Distinc.tt. This, they claim, is “the only gay social app approved by the iTunes store for 12-year-olds and older.” . […]

Why Are Huffington Post’s ‘Gay Voices’ Columnists Fixated on Underage Sex?

A week ago, a Huffington Post columnist argued that it was homophobic to criticize gay men who use Internet sex sites to meet teenage partners. You might shrug that off as an anomaly, if you didn’t realize that in May, Huffington Post was enthusiastically aboard the “Free Kate” bandwagon to legalize sex with 14-year-olds in […]

To the Troll at IP 178.20.55.18

When news broke Wednesday that Lamar Alexander’s chief of staff had been busted for child pornography, I asked a question: So, Hill staffers who know Ryan Loskarn, if you had to guess, does he like little boys or little girls? — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) December 11, 2013 This was an obvious angle on a […]

Michigan Union: Teachers Still Have a Right to Benefits After Boning Teenagers

(WARNING: This item contains strong language, sexual perversity, an out-of-control labor union and sarcasm.)

And […]

To Answer Your Question, Seth …

“How Many American Men Are Gay?” At the New York Times? All of them. At Harvard University? All of them. So when I read in the New York Times, “Seth Stephens-Davidowitz is a contributing opinion writer who recently received a Ph.D. in economics at Harvard,” I know where he’s coming from — a world in […]

Rocky Horror Elementary School

“Equal rights” sounds so wonderful. Who can be against equality? Yet as Richard Weaver warned us long ago, Ideas Have Consequences, and the sledgehammer logic of “equal rights” brutally dismantles every common-sense objection. Even the most obvious facts — e.g., boys and girls are different — must therefore be suppressed to conform with The Equality […]

Disapprove of Gay Sex With Teenagers? ‘In That Case Just Shut Your Mouth’

Neutral Objective Journalism: A columnist for the Huffington Post site says it is homophobic to criticize gay men who use Internet sex sites to meet teenage partners and only “bigots” are offended by such “nurturing intergenerational bonds.” Publicity about a relationship between 39-year-old Hollywood screenwriter Dustin Lance Black and 19-year-old British diving champion Tom Daley has inspired […]

But If They’re ‘Born That Way’ …

. . . why are there more lesbians than ever? More women than ever are having same-sex experiences — or at least more women than ever are reporting it. This week, a long-term British survey found a fourfold increase over the past two decades in women reporting at least one sapphic fling. Self-reported same-sex behavior among men, […]
