<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Helvetica,Sans-Serif;">As has been pointed out on this list to an almost exhausting -- but obviously not yet effective -- degree, NAMBLA is an organization that favors pedophilia. Homosexuality is not pedophilia. Pedophilia is a predatory, exploitive, sickening offense against children; the word means "sexual attraction to children," who are, of course, incapable in any way of consenting to sex with adults. Homosexuality is the condition of being sexually attracted to other adults of the same sex. Its expression between consenting adults, regardless of whether you favor it or not, should not be illegal, merely subjected to the same reasonable restrictions that apply to heterosexual sex. For example, what's OK in the bedroom is not OK on the steps of Anselm House. The "who" is irrelevant, as it should be.<br><br>By the same token, knowingly infecting someone with HIV is not a "homosexual crime." It is a crime, and the transmission of the virus might be or might not be homosexual in nature. It might not even be sexual in nature -- think urging a dirty needle on someone. Assault with a deadly weapon -- the HIV virus -- is not a defining characteristic of homosexual orientation, practice, or psychology. <br><br>I apologize if this sounds condescending, but when people naively toss around "that's a homosexual crime"-type talk and then confuse sexual expression with criminal behavior, a careful explanation must be made. And those who refuse to acknowledge that yes, Christopher D. Witmer DOES believe that ALL homosexual practice, even in private, even between consenting adults, and even among people you might like, should be and eventually will be punishable by death or exile, will undoubtedly go to their graves believing that no one would be THAT extreme in their beliefs. They would be wrong.<br><br>Gary's continual need to de-fang the lupine practices and beliefs of the CREC types long ago ceased to be puzzling. It's now firmly in the category of the bizarre, and I'd think that a reasonable man would not want to find himself there, caged among the wolves -- even if they look harmless and jolly in their sheeps' clothing.<br><br>keely<br><br></span><br><br><br><br><blockquote><hr>From: jampot@roadrunner.com<br>To: sdredge@yahoo.com; vision2020@moscow.com<br>Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2007 16:42:15 -0800<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] This is the same CD Witmer...<br><br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Since it's clear it's an argument you desire, try
this on for size. I have no problem at all with some homosexual crimes being
punishable with death or exile (prison). Knowingly transmitting HIV/AIDS to an
unwitting partner comes to mind along with pretty much everything NAMBLA stands
for. I do not believe that it should be a crime to simply be homosexual and I
doubt that Mr. Witmer believes this either. Furthermore, private consensual
relations between two parties of majority would not meet the criterion Mr.
Witmer set out in the post you provide reference to.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I find it hard to believe that because I am not in
favor of state recognition of homosexual marriage you can make the leap to my
potentially being in favor of the mass extermination of all people of this
persuasion. Is this a case of faulty logic or a desire to stir the pot? If
the former, allow me to be clear. In my opinion no one should be executed or
exiled for simply being a homosexual. If it's the later, let the games begin but
please direct your comments to Mr. Witmer and feel free to leave me
out.</font></div>
