Two organizations that protect and enable gay men to molest children. What's the difference?

In fact I'd be willing to bet that a lot of the gay dudes who run these organizations would have joined the clergy back in a less "open" time. That would have been their path.

Yeah anytime someone tries to pull the "but what about the Catholic church" my answer is always "I'm not a Catholic". Also the Catholic church being full of pedophiles is like universally condemned as a bad thing by everyone including the Catholic Church. What's your argument?

Exactly. Nobody ever said it was a good thing that the Catholic Church had pedo priests and then tried to cover it up.

The people in question know that, but engaging in bad faith arguments and whataboutism is all they can do, because they can’t actually defend their own viewpoints.

I genuinely can't even steelman it. If you follow it to its logical endpoint it is an argument against letting gay men hold positions of power around children because they seem to molest them in multiple contexts, even under the pressure of punishment from God.

I guess it's meant to be whataboutism, but...there was a massive expose on those priests. It blew up the Catholic church. They lost credibility they will never get back. They killed the faith of millions of their followers. To exact that same amount of scrutiny on these organizations would likely result in mass closures. Actually, you know what? They should keep making that comparison.

It's issues with having access to kids privately and being in a position that is insulated from criticism. Doesn't really matter what it is.

I suspect the greater LGBT movements is filled with pedophiles. Probably 10% or so. A lot of the things the purpose seem to serve no purpose other than getting access to kids. They've just used the activism line to quash criticism.

There a very limited number of situations where I think mentioning sexuality to kids at all is appropriate. Mainly just to tell teenagers that are getting depressed about not being "normal" that everyone is different and they'll find other people like them, once they turn 18 and are adults.

What's the difference?

That it's somehow homo- and/or transphobic to point out when the QWERTY mob does it, that's all.
