I’m So Confused…

from Stand Firm by David Fischler 

...by the new sexual orthodoxy. I mean, isn’t this what it’s supposed to be all about:

A Minnesota state lawmaker who authorities say admitted having a liaison with a 17-year-old boy at a rest stop faced calls from party leaders on Monday to give up his re-election bid.
Rep. Kerry Gauthier, 56, hasn’t been charged in the July incident, and authorities said he wouldn’t be because the boy was older than 16, the legal age of consent, and no money was exchanged. Police say the teenager responded to the lawmaker’s Craigslist ad for “no strings attached” sex.
Gauthier admitted to the liaison, according to police reports made public late last week. The teen told police the two had oral sex, according to the reports.
Gauthier was elected in 2010 with 73 percent of the vote. He is not married.

So what we have here is what is referred to in sophisticated circles as “consensual sex.” No adultery, both persons of legal age, no coercion, no money changed hands. But the Democratic Party in Minnesota is, as our president might say, all wee-wee’d up about it? But isn’t it political liberals who have been telling us that this kind of thing is perfectly OK, and that society shouldn’t care about what consenting adults do with their spare time? I mean, geez, if Minnesota were the Episcopal Church, these two could get married and they’d make him governor. Instead, you’ve got the Democrats going all homophobic on us.
I just don’t understand the new rules.
