There's no link between Gannon and an old pedophilia scandal [View All]

[Dookus]

I've seen the Lawrence King story from 15 years ago being brought up a lot here lately. Enough already.

There is NO link between a gay man in the press corps and an old pedophilia scandal, and I find the attempt to link them highly insulting.

An online editorial earlier this week found a link because the Gannon case "was reminiscent of..." the earlier scandal. That was the extent of the link - somebody was reminded of it.

I question why ANYBODY would be reminded of a pedophile scandal merely by the presence of a gay man in the White House Press Corps. For too long and among too many people, homosexuality and pedophilia go together. It has been proven time and time again that such a link is non-existent, but homophobes and fear-mongers continue to push it.

So please stop it. It's simply ridiculous to try to link the two based on the information currently available.
