and you well know that. In point of fact my thread was posted before those came out. And you know that too. Here is what I said kills gay teens. Calling adult gay men teen molesters and accusing gay civil rights groups of targeting teens to convert them. That is a fair paraphrase of the statement. My OP has the actual text. And I stand behind the fact that is absolutely true. That mindset is why adult gays often don't interact with gay teens. It is why gay teens are left defenseless against the rank bigotry of statements like those. It is why some of them decide to end their lives. The fact you chose to pretend to not know any of this speaks volumes about you, none of it good.
