It’s loony time again. Go on, have a laugh, and read this.
This story in Pink News says this chap Robert Peters, president an anti-porn group called Morality in Media, has worked out that the rise in the success of the so-called sexual revolution is inversely proportional to a decrease in morality.
His thesis? More gay marriage = more gun crime.
He’s in the United States, so you can make some allowances, because the Christian Right there is so – well, on the Right.
Predictably, he links the decline in morality with that of “the faith that so often undergirds it”.
So let’s see if we have this right. Faith down = morality down = sexual revolution up = gay marriage up = gun crime up.
Simple, really. Why didn’t I think of that before?

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.

Well, his thesis is bollocks, because violent crime has gone down since the mass gay wedding on the Mall in Washington, DC in 1993. In fact, I'm willing to bet it's down since Stonewall (1969), the beginning of the Gay Liberation Movement.
ReplyDeleteI propose an alternative theory: more gay sex (to defuse tension), less violence. And my theory matches the data. Sweet!
