It's funny how homosexuality (and even statutory rape in this case) cease to be 'icky' to some on the Right when it's someone on their own ideological footy team discussing or admitting to it. Then suddenly they become all understanding and empathetic.
But then, when the topic switches to SSM and the gay crowd become 'the other'/'the enemy', it's back to the default of calling homosexuality unnatural, sinful and perverse.
I guess so often with the Rudimentary Right - it's not about the principle, but the side. Pure tribalists.
