"Jennings' praise of gay rights pioneer Hay had nothing to do with NAMBLA. In a 1997 speech often cited by conservatives attempting to smear Jennings as a supporter of NAMBLA, Jennings reportedly said, "One of the people that's always inspired me is Harry Hay, who started the first ongoing gay rights groups in America. In 1948, he tried to get people to join the Mattachine Society." Jennings' remarks include no mentions of NAMBLA. Upon Hay's death in October 2002, numerous obituaries noted that Hay was a pioneer of the American gay rights movement -- just as Jennings noted in his 1997 speech."

It sickens me how people try to confuse pedophilia with homosexuality. And some of these folks are right here on Clipmarks. They should be ashamed of themselves, if they had any shame of course.

Of course all of these people who have been out to get Jennings conveniently overlook the fact that the boy he counseled was above age of consent. They also conveniently overlook the fact that when Jennings later wrote about the incident (which, if he hadn't, means that the incident would never have come to light), he did so declaring that he no longer felt that it was the appropriate thing to do.

Details should never get in the way of the Big Lie.

Hatred and intolerance gives you blurry vision on everything
