You can argue the guy has a right to be gay, ...I won't dispute it, ...although it would be hypocritical of his base (Rightwing evangelical christians)
You can argue that the age of consent is 16, however I believe for gays in some jurisdictions, it is higher. Not even sure if Florida is still one of those states that makes homosexuality illegal.
However...notwithstandin g, the fact remains this kid was a page... who was getting unwanted attention from a congressman.
That is sexual harrasment. And that was just the instant message text. I've read the kids emails where he describes being creeped out by the congressman, and wanting to warn others about him.
The kids emails reveal he was freaked out by the eMails he got from this elected official. And you can watch for majority leader John Beohner trying to pass the buck on this one. He was notified months ago, and did nothing about it. It took Bob Woodward to expose this.
He was freaking out and creeping out the kid. He has no right to do that. As an adult, as an elected official, and as Co-chair for the Congressional Caucus for missing and exploited children, should have conducted himself far better.
And yes, I get a woody when I see a Republican fall, ...especially going into the mid-terms.
You'all need to take your country back, and the first step is getting back control of Congress, and the Senate, in order that the stupid, lying, incompetent, narcissistic, immature, son-of-a-jackal leading you and the entire world on the path to hell, can be impeached and brought to justice.
