Here's a thought: all porn is gay porn

Michael Schwartz, the chief of staff for Republican senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, announced what he called a surefire way for social conservatives to turn their preadolescent sons off pornography on Friday. He said parents should teach their sons that all pornography is “homosexual,” because “boys at that age have less tolerance for homosexuality than just about any other class of people.”

Schwartz presented his pornography-as-kryptonite theory at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., where he joined colleagues from the Family Research Council and the Heritage Foundation for a panel called “The New Masculinity.”

According to the blog Think Progress, “A few minutes into his speech, Schwartz moved to the topic of pornography, calling it a ‘blight’ and a ‘disease’ that parents’ ‘sons’ would encounter. Noting that he was about to get ‘politically incorrect,’ Schwartz said that it is his ‘observation that boys at that age have less tolerance for homosexuality than just about any other class of people.’”

Schwartz connected this observation to a comment made by his “ex-gay” friend Jim Johnson, founder of Beyond Rejection ministries, as he wove the ideas into a broader strategy to help parents eradicate pornography from their sons’ lives.

“And one of the things that he said to me,” continued Schwartz, according to Think Progress, “that I think is an astonishingly insightful remark. He said, ‘all pornography is homosexual pornography because all pornography turns your sexual drive inwards.’ Now think about that. And if you, if you tell an 11-year-old boy about that, do you think he’s going to want to go out and get a copy of Playboy? I’m pretty sure he’ll lose interest. That’s the last thing he wants.”

“That’s a good comment. That’s a good point. And it’s a good thing to teach young people,” said Schwartz.

Schwartz is no stranger to extreme rhetoric about the gay community. In 2005, he denounced the Supreme Court for giving Americans “the right to commit buggery.” Later, he told Max Blumenthal, “”I’m a radical! I’m a real extremist. I don’t want to impeach judges. I want to impale them!” In 1987, Schwartz co-wrote Gays, AIDS, and You, which according to Blumenthal, alleged that the gay community was “using the AIDS crisis to pursue [their] political agenda.”

Facebook Outing

Gay men can be outed by looking at their Facebook friends, a study has found. According to researchers, the information can be found despite discretion and privacy settings. Although many people set their profiles to private, they usually do not hide their friend lists and researchers say it is their friends' profiles which can reveal personal data such as sexuality. The small study was carried out by students Carter Jernigan and Behram Mistree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They developed software which looked at the gender and sexuality of a person's Facebook friends. It then used statistical analysis to make a prediction of someone's sexuality. Although Jernigan and Mistree could not ascertain the sexuality of all the men they surveyed, the programme gave 100 per cent correct results for a small control group. However, it did not work on lesbians or bisexual people of either gender. The study has not been published in any academic journal but has raised interesting questions about privacy and discretion on the web. Kevin Bankston, an attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a San Francisco nonprofit digital rights group, told the Boston Globe: “Even if you don’t affirmatively post revealing information, simply publishing your friends’ list may reveal sensitive information about you, or it may lead people to make assumptions about you that are incorrect. “Certainly if most or many of your friends are of a particular religious or political or sexual category, others may conclude you are part of the same category – even if you haven’t said so yourself.”
