Thanks for once again buying into the insulting notion that being queer is as bad as being a pedophile. Most pedophiles are straight men. Not lesbians, not transgendered, not bisexual, not homosexual. Just criminals.

That is all.

Looks like the rest rooms are going to be a little confusing on those nights.

Used to be that the only gay people at an opera production were either on stage, or in the pit. The people in the audience were straight and had money TO PAY FOR THE OPERA AND KEEP IT AFLOAT.

Keep inviting the deviants into your crowd and making them the norm by ramming them down the throats of the majority of your supporters and just see what happens in ten years. The Seattle Opera will no longer exist.

Do straight people even like opera?

Those discriminatory hate mongers. They left out the 'Questioning' folk. It's 2008. It's LGBTQ now. Stop the hate.

> Most pedophiles are straight men

Yes, since even if we buy the Kinsey numbers, Gays only make up 10% of the population, it is indeed safe to say that most of almost any group are straight.

Gays do appear in known cases of pedophilia much more than they do in the general population, however. Make of this what you will.

"Most pedophiles are straight men" BS
All those priests were straight?? How come they didn't molest little girls. Remember 87.62% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Anyone who thinks that reading this blog isn't an educational experience is nuts. The niave woman from Indiana just had to look up the term "pederasty"!!! Now I can't say I'm a better person for learning that term, but I now have yet another descriptor for utter perversion in my vocabulary. Thank you VH. LOL!!!! Before Moonbattery is done, I will know every term, both formal and slang, for every form of immoral, dispicable conduct on the planet. I guess my parents and teachers were so niave, they never thought I'd need to know these things.

Pederasty or paederasty (literally 'boy-love', refers to an erotic relationship, sexually expressed or not, between an adolescent boy and an adult male outside his immediate family.
Anthropologists propose three subdivisions of homosexuality as age-structured, egalitarian and gender-structured[2][3]. Some researchers have argued that pederasty as a cross-cultural phenomenon, is the predominant expression of male-male sexuality as viewed through historical record, though the practice has varied significantly within different cultures.[4] ...from Wikipedia.

With all due respect alyssa, I think you need to get your terminology and history straight before you comment on the subject. I do give you credit for not saying this post is "racist"

Isn't this a little like having "Redneck Day" at the NASCAR races?

Seriously! Stop laughing!

Yeah, we all know the Platonic (not platonic, Platonic) version of 'pederasty.' Thanks for the cross-cultural comparison, Ms. Wikipedia Anthropologist. But we're talking about Seattle here, and in Seattle (as in this country generally), homosexuality is practiced between consenting adults - people able to make informed decisions about whom to love and what is appropriate conduct. Homosexual, NON-consenting sexual practice between a man and a child is NOT called homosexuality here (okay, maybe it is by ignorant bigots), it's called pedophilia (stemming from the Greek paido- meaning child and philos, meaning love, interestingly not always used to mean sexual love in the Platonic sense either, but that's beside the point, just thought you could use an etymology lesson instead of relying on Wikipedia since you imply I know less history than you). Notice the Seattle Opera house did not say Pedophile Night sponsored by NAMBLA.

Anyway, yeah, it IS kinda like Redneck Day at NASCAR. We gays love opera (I'm more of a German opera fan rather than Italian, actually). Pedophiles? They love masturbating in their basements to illegal porn...

"But we're talking about Seattle here..."

No shit sherlock.

Well, yeah. That was kind of my point. Sherlock.

Well, yes. That was kind of my point. Sherlock.

OK alyssa, in Seattle, the term Pederasty doesn't not mean that a homosexual male is attracted to pubescent boys on a sexual level??? I thought the root of the word being "Ped" was clue.
I used Wiki due the the fact, as I stated, that I was not familiar with the term, and had no problem stating my source. Your little rant made no sense since given the comment VH made was in reference to Pederasty, which is pediphilia. I didn't get into name calling on my comment either, and still won't do that. I don't care who one has their relationships with who or how they do their love life. What I care about is the idea of keeping it private and between the parties involved. With that being said, what's wrong with a "Redneck Day" Jimbo?

NOTHING!! :-)

I'd go. In fact I'd go to Redneck Day at Disney World. At least I be assured of not being subjected to lude public sexual conduct as has been reported during their homosexual days.

I was exposed to one of San Francisco's parades once. I successfully avoided them for most of the 18 years I was there - but I had to pass one to get home from work one day - the most filthy digusting pornographic crap I've ever seen. It was absolutely sickening the things those people are allowed to get away with in public.

I've seen the photos on Zombietime and about puked. I don't know how you managed to live there for that long. But of course they have got much more militant about pushing their agendas in San Francisco. I imagine that's why you moved away, eh?

"Moved away" is the gentle term, HAM. I fled the filth is what I did.

I wonder where 'alyssa' went??? She (he?) was busy defending them earlier. I was anxious to hear her defense of the typical SF parade scum as being "normal loving" people.

I don't see how you can say an older man who gets off on molesting a child of the same sex is other than a homosexual. Common sense is sorely lacking these days.

Jimbo, she gave a whole new spin on "barking" moonbat. Geez! It's hard telling where they all come from. Sometimes I think they are the same 2 or three idiots that use different names and personna. I have thought about using Sybil, SybilFascist, SybilRacist...etc, you know do the who evil Neocon spectrum. LOL!!!!

Oh sorry, after I got over my PMS I like TOTALLY forgot to check on what people on the internet were saying.

Anyway, Army Mom I do respect your opinion. I'm not arguing with people's opinions. What I take issue with is the equation child molester=gay man. If you like, I can use wikipedia again:

"Sexual expression between adults and adolescents is investigated and reported upon in depth in psychology journals such as Deviant Behavior (Durkinet al 1999) amongst others. For example, studies have concluded that homosexuality and pederasty tend to be mutually exclusive (Li, West, and Woodhouse 1990)."

Notice the term mutually exclusive. Just because someone is gay doesn't mean they're attracted to children, any more than Jimbo would be attracted to his ten-year-old niece. And a man who IS attracted to a young boy would not have the same feelings for say, someone his own age mature enough to make their own decisions.

Anyway, continue calling me an idiot if you want. I'm gonna stop procrastinating and actually do my job now.

"Men in pederastic relationships are sometimes considered as being necessarily materialistic and manipulative. Traditionally, the pederast begins to lose sexual interest in his adolescent partner with the first signs of beard growth, and modern pederasts also report an aversion to adult male pheromones, the "man scent" that the boy still lacks (Donaldson et al 1990)...
