Porn makes you Gay



This is Michael Schwartz, a staffer for Senator Tom Colburn (R), who has stumbled upon a theory that puts that hack Charles Darwin to shame. I'd restate it myself, but I feel I lack the sheer brilliance and eloquence needed to convey such... brilliance? See what I mean? So I will let the heir to Stephen Hawking speak for himself.
Via the Washington Independent:
“Pornography is a blight,” Schwartz told an audience in a crowded room of the Omni Shoreham hotel. “It is a disaster. It is one of those silent diseases in our society that we haven’t been able to overcome very well. Now, I may be getting politically incorrect here. And it’s been a few years, but not that many, since I was closely associated with pre-adolescent boys, boys around 10 years of age. But it is my observation that boys of that age have less tolerance for homosexuality than just about any other class of people. They speak badly about homosexuality. And that’s because they don’t want to be that way. They don’t want to fall into it.”

Schwartz told the crowd about Jim Johnson, a friend of his who turned an old hotel into a hospice for gay men dying of AIDS. “One of the things he said to me,” said Schwartz, “that I think is an astonishingly insightful remark… he said ‘All pornography is homosexual pornography, because all pornography turns your sexual drive inwards.”

There were murmurs and gasps from the crowd. “Now, think about that,” said Schwartz. “And if you tell an 11-year-old boy about that, do you think he’s going to want to get a copy of Playboy? I’m pretty sure he’ll lose interest. That’s the last thing he wants! You know, that’s a good comment, it’s a good point, and it’s a good thing to teach young people.”

Wow, so let me see if I get this straight (pardon the pun), those who watch a lot of pornography are more likely to be gay? Aside from being the douche bag of the week, this knob just may have to get a letter for me.
