May there be a special place in hell for evil, perverted sick bastards like this.
Also for those who place helpless innocent children into the hands of evil, sick peodophile perverts.
Rest assured, one day, you will have to answer to God for it.

My Comment On The Gay Pedophile Adopter Who Abused Child And Passed Child To Other Pedos For Abuse
Rest assured, one day, you will have to answer to God for it.
Abuse of sanity: The truth about how a council allowed the 1st ever gay male couple in the UK to adopt children. Then they abused them.
So politically correct has adoption become, a council allowed these gay paedophiles to foster young boys even, as one mother reveals here, turning a blind eye when presented with evidence of their horrifying abuse
While the events unfolding in her living room were tense and awkward, the young mother did not believe that her unease augured anything more inauspicious or alarming. With the benefit of hindsight, of course, she has now had ample time to reflect on how that gnawing anxiety was justified.
Miss X, as she must be known, had placed her eight-year-old twin boys into foster care in 2004 after finding herself unable to cope with life as a single parent of four boisterous youngsters.
That they had been placed with a gay couple, Craig Faunch and Ian Wathey the first homosexual couple in Yorkshire to be approved by the authorities as foster parents was, she told friends, incidental: she was just happy that someone was taking good care of them.
That sentiment changed, however, when she was shown a compromising naked photograph of her son while they were on one of their regular visits home.
The photo featuring her son urinating was unsettling enough for Miss X to complain to the social services department of her local council in Wakefield, Yorkshire.
It is the sort of serious incident that might, you imagine, herald the start of a strict set of investigative procedures.
Instead, the matter was resolved if that is the correct word over an uncomfortable meeting in Miss X's living room in May 2004, during which, she recalls, 32-year-old Faunch declared that he had taken the photograph to embarrass her son into closing the door when he went to the toilet.
The dubious explanation was enough to satisfy the social services managers present, who brought the inquiry to a swift conclusion (as well as apparently losing the incriminating photograph in the process).
It was to be another eight months before another boy in their care was to raise the alarm.
Eighteen months later, in June last year, both Faunch and Wathey were jailed for a total of 11 years after being convicted of a dozen offences relating to four of the boys in their care.
The pair had looked after 18 children in only 15 months after being approved by the council, but under the guise of caring men offering a helping hand to disadvantaged youngsters, had sexually abused vulnerable children for their own gratification.
Neither man, Leeds Crown Court was told last year, had shown any empathy or remorse.
Both are now serving prison sentences for their despicable crimes.
Nonetheless, the repercussions have continued to rumble, and in a scathing independentlyauthored report issued this week, Wakefield Metropolitan District Council found itself the subject of robust condemnation.
They had, the report concluded, left the couple free to sexually abuse youngsters in their care because of fears of discrimination if they launched an investigation.
By virtue of their sexuality, the report suggested, the men were "trophy carers" who were not subject to the same rigorous assessment as others.
At a time when gay couples can legally adopt children for the first time, the criticism raises serious questions about vetting procedures, as well as
fears that the crimes of two men could have repercussions for genuine gay foster parents.
For Miss X, of course, the issue is a far more simple one: a shocking betrayal of trust.
As she says: "I was so angry when I found out that the council hadn't taken their investigation further and, at least, contacted the police about it.
"I am horrified that they let more children go into that house, It's sick.
"Now, so many more people have also had their lives turned upside down.
"Like others, I trusted them 100per cent and they let me down."
It is a sentiment echoed by the mothers of Faunch and Wathey's two other young victims, not to mention others who have found themselves at the sharp end of council mismanagement.
For it is not the first time that Wakefield council has found its provision of care for disadvantaged young people in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
Last month, six care workers formerly employed by the council won a compensation payout estimated to be in the region of £1million in an out-ofcourtsettlement after blowing the whistle on standards of care in the children's homes where they worked.
All of them had been sacked after revealing a shocking catalogue of mismanagement, a raft of failings which included allowing children as young as 12 to engage in sexual relationships, a child worker buying and smoking drugs with children in his care and failures in staff criminal record checks.
Such a depressing litany of failures would seem to have had no bearing on sending the boys to stay with the two men in Sides Road, Pontefract, from the summer of 2003.
Faunch and Wathey had settled in the three-bedroom semi-detached house on a pleasant cul-de-sac five years earlier and, like so many paedophiles, appeared to be perfectly respectable members of society.
This strikingly odd couple 40-year-old Wathey, 6ft tall and thick set was regarded as a quiet, "Gentle Giant" while Faunch is a slim 5ft 6in and nicknamed "Tweetie Pie" at school because of his voice and stature both grew up near Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
The men were living at home with their divorced mothers when they met ten years ago, quickly coming out to their respective friends and families before, in 1998, they decided to move in together.
Money, according to friends, was often in short supply, with both men undertaking a number of distinctly mundane jobs over the years, including working for a local frozen food firm and a mail order home shopping catalogue company.
They seemed, neighbours recall, unlikely trailblazers for gay rights, although in fact Faunch in particular was outspoken on the subject.
And whether or not it was at his behest, five years ago, the couple applied to Wakefield council to become professional foster parents.
When, in July 2003, they received permission, Faunch and Wathey became among the first homosexual couples in England to be approved, and the first in Yorkshire.
The milestone passed quietly enough.
Faunch and Wathey were treated no differently to any other foster parents by social services, passing the same training courses and undergoing the same standard vetting procedures.
Routine checks revealed they did not have a criminal record and had never been in trouble with police, and, with a desperate shortage of foster parents in the Yorkshire area, began their new role in the summer of 2003 as soon as the social services fostering panel formally approved their applications.
The couple's request only to look after boys in the five to 12 age bracket apparently passed unremarked, with managers accepting Faunch and Wathey's explanation that they didn't feel "equipped" to care for girls.
Perhaps social services should have talked to members of the local community, many of whom had a strong sense that it was not pure altruism that had persuaded the gay couple to bring young boys into their home.
As local gossip would have it, it was the money.
Neither man went out to work and appeared to be living off funds from Wakefield's social services department.
Cash was used, according to one neighbour, to fund weekends away with the boys at the nearby seaside resorts of Cleethorpes and Skegness in the motorhome they owned.
Of course, we now know that the couple's motivation was even more sinister: both men were paedophiles.
And less than a year after they had first been approved, Miss X was moved to flag up her concerns to social services.
During one of her regular visits with the twins, a grinning Faunch had shown her the picture of her son urinating during a visit to Butlin's holiday camp in Skegness.
A similar snap had also been taken of the other twin.
Deeply disturbed, the 34-yearold single mother refused to let the twins return to the foster home and lodged an official complaint with the council.
But while a social worker took the offending photograph and promised a full investigation the result, as we have seen, was merely that awkward living room meeting.
After that, Miss X was told nothing of what happened next, left instead to assume that the council had thoroughly investigated the matter.
In fact, far from taking any further action, the council had sent Faunch and Wathey more youngsters, including some with more serious problems, even providing extra bunk beds and a Ford Galaxy people carrier to assist with any transportation problems.
"Moving up in the world," one neighbour ruefully remarked.
Behind the scenes, however, it was the couple's deviancy that had moved on to another level.
Among the new "recruits" to their foster army was a 14-year old-boy with Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism, who spent the weekends with the men to afford his mother some respite care.
With a mental age of seven and learning difficulties, the boy's 36-year- old mother found it hard to juggle her son's special needs alongside those of her other two children-and had turned to Wakefield-social services for help.
"I was at breaking point when Craig and Ian came along," she recalls.
"At the time, it was the answer to my prayers.
"I looked after my son myself during the week and at weekends could recharge my batteries and spend time with the other kids."
How could she have guessed that her son was being sexually abused by the foster carers in the privacy of their home knowing that he was unlikely to say anything because of his condition?
In harrowing evidence given to Leeds Crown Court last year, the boy recalled how Wathey had made him watch gay pornography while he touched himself and, on nine other occasions, had also subjected the boy to an explicit sex act as he lay in bed, telling him he must not tell his mother.
He had also, the boy also told the court, been fondled on several occasions by Faunch as they sat on the living room sofa. "I don't like them anymore," he told the court.
"I want them to go to prison."
Who knows how long this catalogue of abuse may have continued?
In fact, it was only after a fourth child, also aged 14, reported to an adult friend that he had been inappropriately touched that the police became involved.
After one of the incidents, he told the court, he had used a full bottle of shower gel in the shower in a bid to scrub away the memory of the event. "It hurt," he said.
The police were finally informed, and launched an investigation, during which they discovered an indecent video of the fostered twins taking a shower which had been filmed just days after their naked photo had been taken.
Police also uncovered a hardcore gay pornographic film in the recorder of Faunch and Wathey's bedroom.
The film, A Young Man's World, features the exploits of a group of older men lusting after and performing sex acts with young males.
In June last year, Faunch was convicted of five sexual offences of sexual activity with a 14-year-old and two offences of taking indecent photos.
Wathey was found guilty of four offences of sexual activity with another 14-year-old boy and a charge of encouraging a child to watch a gay porn movie.
Neither showed any remorse.
Indeed, it perhaps suggests something of the couple's attitude towards the legal proceedings that just weeks before they stood trial in June last year, the men chose to formalise their relationship in a civil partnership ceremony in Pontefract.
Little wonder that, when sentencing Faunch and Wathey at Leeds Crown Court last summer, Judge Susan Cahill said it was "quite incredible" that the police had not been called in after concerns were initially raised by the mother of the twin boys.
It is a sentiment echoed by the authors of this week's report, who also made 41 recommendations for overhauling the council's fostering process.
Only time will tell, of course, whether these recommendations will be implemented.
In the meantime, the mothers of the boys concerned are left to deal with the emotional consequences behind the bureaucratic machine.
As the mother of the 14-year old with Asperger's put it. "I just do not know the long-term damage this may have done to my son.
"If social workers had done their job and taken the twins more seriously in the first place, my son would never have gone there."
This week, a spokeswoman for Wakefield council declined to comment, declaring it would be "inappropriate" to do so until after a meeting of all council members is held on Wednesday.
"Inappropriate", of course, being rather a key word throughout this sorry saga and one that should have been used far earlier.

This was the first gay male couple in the UK to be approved for foster care. Social workers said that they were afraid of being labeled homophobes and ignored some signs that would've otherwise indicated abuse.

What utter, grotesque evil cowards! They preferred to allow innocent, helpless male children to be molested, abused and sodomized rather than be called homophobes?
For these sick, perverted sodomite and peodophile enablers may there be a special place in hell.

How murder exposed Saudi prince's homosexual life
A Saudi prince has been convicted of murdering his manservant, who was found beaten to death in bed at a plush London hotel. The defendant spent most of the trial trying to prove he was not gay. Why?
Before his trial began at the Old Bailey, Prince Saud bin Abdulaziz bin Nasir al Saud made strenuous efforts to keep the question of his homosexuality secret.
The 34-year-old prince admitted he had assaulted his manservant, Bandar Abdulaziz, but denied murder.
His barrister, John Kelsey-Fry QC, argued the question of sexuality was irrelevant to the case and pointed out homosexual acts were a "mortal sin" under Islamic sharia law.
Mr Kelsey-Fry said if the prince was outed as a homosexual he could face execution in his native Saudi Arabia.
Jonathan Laidlaw QC, prosecuting, argued that if he was convicted and recommended for deportation after serving his sentence he would be able to claim asylum in Britain by arguing that his life was in danger, whether or not he actually was gay.
He said it was not for a defendant "to edit the prosecution evidence".
Christoph Wilcke, a Saudi Arabia expert with Human Rights Watch, said homosexuals had in the past been executed but it was usually for rape and he said a prince would be immune from court action.
When the trial began Mr Kelsey-Fry went to great lengths to stress his client denied he was gay.
But a string of witnesses suggested otherwise.
Two male escorts, Pablo Silva and Louis Szikora, also gave evidence they had performed sex acts on the prince.
Although the prince never gave evidence, during police interviews he insisted he was heterosexual and had a girlfriend in Saudi Arabia.
But Mr Laidlaw said this was a lie: "The defendant's keeping back of his homosexuality might in other circumstances, because of the cultural background perhaps, be explained away by embarrassment, or indeed, fear.
"But the defendant's concealing of the sexual aspect to his abuse of the victim was, we will argue, for altogether more sinister reasons."
When he was found in the bed in Room 312 of the Landmark Hotel in central London the victim had bite marks on his cheeks. The police also found naked photographs of him on the prince's mobile
All this, suggested Mr Laidlaw, suggested a "sexual element" to the abuse which led to the victim's death.
His royal heritage could not save the sick, sodomite, perverted prince from British justice
The prince, whose mother was one of 50 children of the late King Saud, paid for his 32-year-old manservant to fly around the world and stay in the best hotels. Together in London they went shopping, dined in the best restaurants and drank champagne and cocktails in swanky nightclubs.
They shared a bed but the prince frequently subjected his manservant to violent attacks, such as the beating which was captured on the CCTV camera in a hotel lift three weeks before Bandar Abdulaziz's death.
In the footage the victim makes no attempt to fight back and afterwards walks meekly after his master like a scolded dog.
Professor Gregory Gause, a Saudi Arabia expert, said: "Homosexuality is considered extremely shameful in Saudi Arabia and there is not a publicly acknowledged homosexual community.
"It's still closeted. But, for young Saudi men, contact with the opposite sex is extremely difficult so there might be a temptation to experiment before marriage," said Prof Gause, from the University of Vermont.
He said about 5,000 Saudi princes get a yearly stipend of about $200,000 (£126,000), but some were "fabulously wealthy".
An insight into the prince's bashfulness about his homosexuality was given by one of the escorts, Mr Szikora, who described visiting the prince for a two-hour "erotic" session three days before the murder.
He said: "The man I met ultimately did want sexual massage but it is like mixing an upper class, well-speaking man with Omar Sharif. You have to build some rapport.
"Middle Eastern gentlemen, they are not as open about what they want as people in the West."
The prince's father, Prince Abdulaziz, attended his son's trial at the Old Bailey He claimed his manservant had been beaten up and robbed of 3,000 euros in Edgware Road three weeks before, and suggested those injuries must have led to his death.
His lies were exposed by the post mortem, which showed the injuries were fresh, and by CCTV footage in the lift, which showed it was the prince who inflicted those earlier injuries.
He later admitted causing the injuries which led to his death.
Now he faces a long spell in a British jail before being deported back to Saudi Arabia.
But Mr Wilcke said: "Irrespective of the court verdict his humiliation has already taken place. A family council will have been held and he will probably have his money cut off."
Saudi prince found guilty of murdering servant in hotel
A Saudi prince has been found guilty of murdering his servant at a hotel in central London.
Bandera Abdulaziz, 32, was found beaten and strangled in the Landmark Hotel, Marylebone, on 15 February 2010.
The Old Bailey was told the assault by Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud had a "sexual element" and he had attacked Mr Abdulaziz many times before.
Al Saud, 34, had admitted manslaughter but denied murdering Mr Abdulaziz. He will be sentenced on Wednesday.
The Saudi prince was also found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm with intent in relation to an earlier attack in a hotel lift, a charge which he had denied.
The murder of Mr Abdulaziz was the final act in a "deeply abusive" master-servant relationship in which Al Saud carried out frequent attacks on his aide "for his own personal gratification".
The 34-year-old was fuelled by champagne and cocktails when he bit his servant hard on both cheeks during the attack on 15 February, the court heard.
The pair had just returned from a Valentine's Day night out when Al Saud launched the ferocious assault.
Jurors heard that Mr Abdulaziz was left so worn down and injured - having suffered a "cauliflower" ear and a swollen eye from previous assaults - that he let Al Saud kill him without a fight.
The pair had just returned from a Valentine's Day night out when Al Saud launched the assault Al Saud then spent hours on the phone to a contact in Saudi Arabia trying to work out how to cover up what he had done.
The prince claimed he had woken in the afternoon to find he could not revive Mr Abdulaziz.
He said his servant's injuries were inflicted when he was attacked and robbed in Edgware Road, central London, a few weeks before.
But when police reviewed CCTV at the hotel, they found footage of Al Saud attacking his aide in a hotel lift.
Two assaults, on 22 January and 5 February, were captured on CCTV.
In the first of them, the Saudi royal could be seen beating Mr Abdulaziz with his fists and elbows as he cowered in the corner.
Det Ch Insp John McFarlane: "No-one, regardless of their position, is above the law in this country"
In court the prince's lawyers tried to cover up evidence of Al Saud's homosexuality.
If he ever returns to his home country he faces the possibility of execution - not because of the murder, but because being gay is a capital offence in Saudi Arabia.
The verdict means a long jail term for the prince, who is a member of one of the world's richest and most powerful dynasties.
Al Saud, who lived in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, told police his father was a nephew of the Saudi king and his mother was a daughter of the monarch.
Outside court, Det Ch Insp John McFarlane said: "The defendant used his position of power, money and authority over his victim Bandar to abuse him over an extended period of time."
"This verdict clearly shows no-one, regardless of their position, is above the law," he added

'Gay Rights' Leader Leaves Homosexual Deathstyle
He was a rising star in the "gay rights" movement, but Michael Glatze now declares not only has he given up activism – he's no longer a homosexual.
Glatze – who had become a frequent media source as founding editor of Young Gay America magazine – tells the story of his transformation in an exclusive column published today by WND.
Although Glatze cut himself off from the homosexual community about a year and a half ago, he says the column likely will surprise some people.
"This will actually be news to anybody I used to relate to," he told WND.
The radical change in his life, Glatze recalls, began with inner "promptings" he now attributes to God.
"I hope I can share my story," he said. "I feel strongly God has put me here for a reason. Even in the darkest days of late-night parties, substance abuse and all kinds of things – when I felt like, 'Why am I here, what am I doing?' – there was always a voice there.
"I didn't know what to call it, or if I could trust it, but it said 'hold on.'"
me aware of homosexual feelings at about the age of 14 and publicly declared himself "gay" at age 20. Finally, after a decade in which his leadership role in the homosexual activist world grew – but alongside it, a mysterious inner conflict – he says he finally was "liberated."
In fact, he writes in his WND column today, "'coming out' from under the influence of the homosexual mindset was the most liberating, beautiful and astonishing thing I've ever experienced in my entire life."
Before "coming out" in his column today, Glatze contacted WND Managing Editor David Kupelian after reading his book, "The Marketing of Evil, which Glatze said "has given me so much help in my process of healing from the profound influences of evil in our current society."
"There is nothing that would give me more pleasure," he wrote to Kupelian, "than to say the Truth about 'homosexuality' and atone for my sins in that regard."
Glatze's transformation calls to mind that of another prominent "gay" magazine publisher who also has renounced her former lifestyle. Lesbian activist Charlene Cothran, longtime publisher of Venus magazine, became a Christian and gave her magazine a new mission "to encourage, educate and assist those who desire to leave a life of homosexuality." She adds: "Our ultimate mission is to win souls for Christ, and to do so by showing love to all God's people."
In his column, Glatze doesn't mince words, calling homosexual sex purely "lust-based," meaning it can never fully satisfy.
"It's a neurotic process rather than a natural, normal one," he writes. "Normal is normal – and has been called normal for a reason."
After becoming editor of Young Gay America magazine at age 22, Glatze received numerous awards and recognition, including the National Role Model Award from the major homosexual-rights organization on Equality Forum. Media gravitated toward him, leading to appearances on PBS television and MSNBC and quotes in a cover story in Time magazine called "The Battle Over Gay Teens."
He produced, with the help of PBS affiliates and Equality Forum, the first major documentary film to address homosexual teen suicide, "Jim In Bold," which toured the world and received numerous "best in festival" awards. Young Gay America's photo exhibit, telling the story of young people across North America, toured Europe, Canada and parts of the U.S.
In 2004, Glatze moved from San Francisco to Halifax in eastern Canada where his partner, Young Gay America magazine's publisher, had family. The magazine, he said, sought to provide a "virtuous counterpart" to the other newsstand media aimed at homosexual youth.
But Glatze contends "the truth was, YGA was as damaging as anything else out there, just not overtly pornographic, so more 'respected.'"
In 2005, Glatze was featured in a panel with Judy Shepard, mother of slain homosexual Matthew Shepard, at the prestigious JFK Jr. Forum at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
"It was after viewing my words on a videotape of that 'performance,'" he writes, "that I began to seriously doubt what I was doing with my life and influence."
"Knowing no one who I could approach with my questions and my doubts, I turned to God," he says. "I'd developed a growing relationship with God, thanks to a debilitating bout with intestinal cramps caused by the upset stomach-inducing behaviors I'd been engaged in."
Toward the end of his time with Young Gay America, Glatze said, colleagues began to notice he was going through some kind of religious experience.
Just before leaving, not fully realizing what he was doing, he wrote on his office computer his thoughts, ending with the declaration: "Homosexuality is death, and I choose life."
"I was so nervous, it was like I wasn't even writing it myself," he said.
Inexplicably, he told WND, he left the words on the screen for others to see.
"People who looked at it were stunned; they thought it was crazy," he said.
But he left his co-workers wondering about where he stood, never having fully explained his decision to step down.
Looking back on his old lifestyle, Glatze told WND whenever he had a sense that he was doing something wrong, "I would I just attribute it to, 'that's just the way life is.'"
"If ever I were to question anything, [my colleagues] would say, 'You're such an idealist.'"
Glatze said he thought opponents of homosexual activism were "mean and crazy, and they wanted to hurt me."
"I thought they were out to get me," he said. "They made me really, really mad – and scared, I think. I wanted them to go away."
Glatze said he couldn't allow himself to think they were sincere in their beliefs.
But he now has deep respect for a Christian aunt who disapproved of his lifestyle.
She "was never judgmental, but always firm," he said.
Glatze – who had become a frequent media source as founding editor of Young Gay America magazine – tells the story of his transformation in an exclusive column published today by WND.
Although Glatze cut himself off from the homosexual community about a year and a half ago, he says the column likely will surprise some people.
"This will actually be news to anybody I used to relate to," he told WND.
The radical change in his life, Glatze recalls, began with inner "promptings" he now attributes to God.
"I hope I can share my story," he said. "I feel strongly God has put me here for a reason. Even in the darkest days of late-night parties, substance abuse and all kinds of things – when I felt like, 'Why am I here, what am I doing?' – there was always a voice there.
"I didn't know what to call it, or if I could trust it, but it said 'hold on.'"
me aware of homosexual feelings at about the age of 14 and publicly declared himself "gay" at age 20. Finally, after a decade in which his leadership role in the homosexual activist world grew – but alongside it, a mysterious inner conflict – he says he finally was "liberated."
In fact, he writes in his WND column today, "'coming out' from under the influence of the homosexual mindset was the most liberating, beautiful and astonishing thing I've ever experienced in my entire life."

Gay Rights Leader Becomes Straight!
Editor's note: See the news story about Michael Glatze in today's WND, titled "'Gay'-rights leader quits homosexuality."
Homosexuality came easy to me, because I was already weak.
My mom died when I was 19. My father had died when I was 13. At an early age, I was already confused about who I was and how I felt about others.
My confusion about "desire" and the fact that I noticed I was "attracted" to guys made me put myself into the "gay" category at age 14. At age 20, I came out as gay to everybody else around me.
At age 22, I became an editor of the first magazine aimed at a young, gay male audience. It bordered on pornography in its photographic content, but I figured I could use it as a platform to bigger and better things.
Sure enough, Young Gay America came around. It was meant to fill the void that the other magazine I'd worked for had created – namely, anything not-so-pornographic, aimed at the population of young, gay Americans. Young Gay America took off.
Gay people responded happily to Young Gay America. It received awards, recognition, respectability and great honors, including the National Role Model Award from major gay organization Equality Forum – which was given to Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chr?tien a year later – and a whole host of appearances in the media, from PBS to the Seattle Times, from MSNBC to the cover story in Time magazine.
I produced, with the help of PBS-affiliates and Equality Forum, the first major documentary film to tackle gay teen suicide, "Jim In Bold," which toured the world and received numerous "best in festival" awards.
Young Gay America created a photo exhibit, full of photographs and stories of gay youth all across the North American continent, which toured Europe, Canada and parts of the United States.
Young Gay America launched YGA Magazine in 2004, to pretend to provide a "virtuous counterpart" to the other newsstand media aimed at gay youth. I say "pretend" because the truth was, YGA was as damaging as anything else out there, just not overtly pornographic, so it was more "respected."
It took me almost 16 years to discover that homosexuality itself is not exactly "virtuous." It was difficult for me to clarify my feelings on the issue, given that my life was so caught up in it.
Homosexuality, delivered to young minds, is by its very nature pornographic. It destroys impressionable minds and confuses their developing sexuality; I did not realize this, however, until I was 30 years old.
YGA Magazine sold out of its first issue in several North American cities. There was extreme support, by all sides, for YGA Magazine; schools, parent groups, libraries, governmental associations, everyone seemed to want it. It tapped right into the zeitgeist of "accepting and promoting" homosexuality, and I was considered a leader. I was asked to speak on the prestigious JFK Jr. Forum at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government in 2005.

White Gay Duke University Expert And Pedophile Charged With Selling Adopted African American 5 Year Old Child For Sex
Gay Duke University Health Expert Charged With Selling Adopted 5 Year Old For Sex.
WARNING: ADULT SUBJECT MATTER.
WARNING: SICKENING SUBJECT MATTER.
Here's the full story from Newsbusters.
Frank Lombard is a white associate director at Duke University’s Global Health Institute and a homosexual who was charged last week with the molestation of his adopted 5-year-old black son and actively trying to sell him for sex on the internet.
The 40 words above are 40 more than the Main Stream Media has said on this horrible story.
In nearly a week since Lombard was arrested, not one national broadcast or cable television news show has picked up the story. Compare this to the weeks on end of sensational coverage of the white male lacrosse players of the same university charged with rape several years ago.
At the time of this post not one television show has reported the story and only 17 newspapers in the United States featured it – a majority of which are only small local newspapers.
And most of these articles cited the American Press’ report on the events, which was as follows:
AP) WASHINGTON – A Duke University official has been arrested and charged with offering his adopted 5-year-old son for sex.
Frank Lombard, the school’s associate director of the Center for Health Policy, was arrested after an Internet sting, according to the FBI’s Washington field office and the city’s police department.
According to an affidavit by District of Columbia Police Det. Timothy Palchak, an unnamed informant facing charges in his own child sex case led authorities to Lombard.
Authorities said that Lombard tried to persuade a person -who he did not know was a police officer -to travel to North Carolina to have sex with Lombard’s child.
The detective’s affidavit charges Lombard identified himself online as “perv dad for fun,” and says that in an online chat with the detective, Lombard said he had sexually molested his son, whom he adopted as an infant.
The court papers say Lombard also invited the undercover detective to North Carolina to have sex with the young boy, and even suggested which hotel he should use.”
In response to the AP report, which most of the newspapers used almost verbatim, Mike Adams of Townhall made the observation that “The Associate Press (AP) did not mention the fact that the five-year old offered up for molestation was black. Bringing that fact to light might be damaging to the political coalition that exists between blacks and gays. Nor did the AP mention that the adopted child is being raised by a homosexual couple. Bringing that fact to light might harm the gay adoption movement.”
With this shocking lack of coverage of an even more shocking story, many are asking why this did not make the front pages and top headlines like the Duke lacrosse team scandal did. Thomas Lifson of American Thinker posited that “identity politics … apparently trumps all sense of outrage.”
Thanks to ECM to alerting me to this story. Notice how this story is not covered as well as the Matthew Sheppard story or the George Tiller story was. I wonder why. I guess some victims of violence are more equal than others.

Gay rights campaigner led a double life as leader of paedophile ring that carried out a catalogue of child abuse
A paedophile ring has been smashed after eight men were found guilty of a horrifying catalogue of more than 50 child pornography and abuse charges.
Among the crimes was a shocking sexual attack carried out on a three-month-old baby boy by an executive adviser on child sex issues.
James Rennie, chief executive of a publicly-funded gay rights group, was one of the men exposed yesterday as members of Scotland's biggest paedophile ring.
Police sources revealed yesterday that the activities of 70 other men around the UK with links to the case are being investigated.
More than 35 people have been arrested or been subject to enforcement action. Two investigations are continuing in Scotland.
One of the most worrying aspects of the case is the way Rennie was able to reach a position where he could influence Executive policy on child sexuality.
A trained teacher, Rennie became the boss of LGBT Youth Scotland, a publicly-funded support group for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender young people.
He took on the £40,000 a year role when the group was set up in 2003 and became the Executive's most important and influential adviser on gay issues affecting children.
Under his leadership, the group backed proposals to allow gay adoption. As well as appearing in the Scottish parliament, he was invited to a Royal Garden Party and to Downing Street.
Yesterday, Rennie, from Edinburgh, was found guilty of indecently abusing the baby boy. The abuse began when the child was three months old and continued for several years. Rennie filmed and photographed himself committing the abuse, sent the images to others and allowed another man to listen on the phone while he molested the child.
He allowed the boy, whom he called his 'nephew', to be abused by another paedophile and also offered him to other deviants in a series of emails.
When his home was raided in December 2007, Rennie had gone to the trouble of hiding computer hard drives, discs and CDs in a gap next to the water tank in his kitchen. Between these storage devices and his laptop computer, he was found to be in possession of thousands of images, many of them at the most extreme level of the scale.
Rennie carried out his vile activities as part of a Scottish paedophile ring swapping images of child pornography on the internet.

James Rennie, chief executive of a publicly-funded gay rights group, was one of the men exposed yesterday as members of Scotland's biggest paedophile ring.
Rennie, 38, molested the toddler son of unsuspecting friends - a little boy he had been trusted to babysit - recording the abuse and sharing it with other perverts.
In the course of the police investigation, the boy's parents were forced to watch a video of their baby son being violated by Rennie.
Last night, after the eight men were found guilty of a string of child sex charges at the High Court in Edinburgh, the child's parents reacted with disgust.
They said: 'For over 15 years, James Rennie seemed the closest of family friends and it is hard to put into words the extent of the betrayal he has exacted upon us.'
During their investigations, police recovered tens of thousands of still and moving images of the most vile child abuse. 
Police sources revealed yesterday that the activities of 70 other men around the UK with links to the case are being investigated.

Between these storage devices and his laptop computer, he was found to be in possession of thousands of images, many of them at the most extreme level of the scale.
Rennie carried out his vile activities as part of a Scottish paedophile ring swapping images of child pornography on the internet.
He was suspended as soon as LGBT Youth Scotland was told of his arrest in December 2007 and resigned soon afterwards.
Last night, a spokesman for LGBT Youth Scotland, which received £1.1million in 2008 from the Executive, councils and health boards, said: 'We are appalled by the abuse and exploitation of children by James Rennie, and wholeheartedly welcome his conviction. Our immediate thoughts are with the children and families who have been directly, and indirectly, abused by him and the other co-accused also convicted.
'We had no suspicion whatsoever of the crimes James Rennie was committing. He was obviously skilled at hiding his actions and adept at deceiving people. There is no suggestion James Rennie directly threatened the safety of young people accessing our services.'
Last night the Executive said that it would continue to fund LGBT.
When he was arrested, Rennie had a steady boyfriend, but trawled the internet looking for gay sex dates.
He also used the internet to meet other paedophiles, including Neil Strachan, a child molester who was jailed for three years at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in 1997 for abusing a boy of between five and seven.
Strachan, 41, joined Rennie for a sex session with Rennie's 'nephew' at his flat in Meadowbank when the boy was between one and three.
Rennie then boasted about the encounter to another paedophile, Lachlan Anderson, 51, from Cumbernauld, Dunbartonshire. Anderson is currently serving a 20-month sentence after being caught with a collection of child pornography, including images of Rennie abusing the child. He was brought from jail to give evidence at the trial.
Strachan was found guilty of attempting to sodomise a different 18-month-old toddler on the night of Hogmanay 2005 at his flat in the Dalry area of Edinburgh.
Last night, the boy's mother said: ' The anguish I feel towards Mr Strachan is indescribable.
'I feel that no matter what punishment is given to Mr Strachan it will never be able to compensate for the hurt, devastation and great deal of stress brought to me and my family.
'Mr Strachan used and abused our trust in order to satisfy his and others' sick needs.'
Strachan's 23-year-old boyfriend Colin Slaven was cleared of taking part in the sex act, which was photographed and sent to Rennie.
Rennie involved John Milligan, 40, in his sick acts by allowing him to listen to the baby boy being abused.
Milligan also discussed getting his hands on the child - and passed on images of Rennie's abuse to others.
The paedophile ring was uncovered when photos of naked boys were found on Strachan's computer. He handed it in for repair at a company in England in 2007.
A computer engineer found one indecent image of a child on the machine and police were called in.
An examination by Northumbria Police revealed other images.
The inquiry moved to Edinburgh, where Operation Algebra was set up in October 2007 by Lothian and Borders Police.
Detective Superintendent Allan Jones, senior investigating officer in Operation Algebra, said of the men: 'Many of them wouldn't stand out from a general member of the public; but in the background they lead this double life, looking at some of the most vile material you would ever care to imagine.
'Quite what motivates them and why they take this course of action I really don't know. What I do know is we can't be forgiving of it and we've got to pursue it to the nth degree to make sure that this material is stopped.'
A jury found Rennie, Strachan, Milligan, Ross Webber, 27, and Craig Boath, 24, guilty of plotting to arrange access to children to carry out acts of gross sexual abuse. It is the first time a conspiracy charge has been used successfully in Scotland to convict perverts.
Church bell ringer Neil Campbell, 46, was cleared of that charge. But all six, along with Slaven and John Murphy, 44, were found guilty of charges relating to child pornography.
Having been convicted of actual physical abuse of children, Rennie and Strachan face a possible life sentence.
Prosecutor Dorothy Bain, QC, asked for 'a full risk assessment' which would allow the court to impose an order for lifelong restriction - under which a judge imposes a minimum sentence but the accused are only freed when the parole board considers it safe to do so.
They then remain under strict supervision for the rest of their lives.
Judge Lord Bannatyne said: 'I am going to go down that route and investigate an order for lifelong restriction for both these accused.'
All eight men were remanded in custody to await sentence.
