Hurray for Child Molesters!

Ned Williams seems pleased as punch that an adoptive father in North Carolina has been accused of raping his adopted son, as this one incident will likely be used over and over and over again by anti-gay activists to promote group homes for orphaned children:

This guy is the poster child for all the concerns that people have about endorsing adoption by folks who engage in homosexual activity...Thanks for the assist, Mr. Lombard!

Of course, you don't have to look too far to find plenty of examples of heterosexual men raping their foster children. Like James Spellman, a 57 year old man accused of raping his adopted daughter for upwards of 5 years before being caught by police.

Or how about Ernest and Windie Perry, some good ol' Christian folk from Tennessee who, along with one of their adopted daughter, were charged with aggravated child rape and abuse.

Or how about the DiMaria's, a Conservative Christian couple who adopted various girls with physical disabilities for the purpose of raping and exploiting.

Yeah, the Lombard case is tragic, and certainly evidence of the need for strict scrutiny by child protective services...but evidence of the follies of gay adoption? Hardly.

Facts, my dear, are very silly things. And we shouldn't trouble our beautiful minds with them.

Not pleased, but couldn't help but note the near-parody character of the story . . . as my post reflects.

And as far as how seriously or soberly one treats such offense, I'd be interested to compare yours and my views on how the criminal justice system should view such perpetrators--regardless of their professed beliefs or proclivities.
