Del replies:
Homosexuality is not the moral crime I'm referring to here. If you go
back a few posts, you'll see that the original crime I was talking
about was "spreading the lie that it's gays and lesbians who molest
children". Susan answered that it's not a crime to say hateful things
about gays and lesbians, to which I answered that I was thinking more
along the lines of a moral crime.

If I go back and reread my own posts, I'll see those multiple
instances (including in the very first post) where I explicitely state
that in my theory DD is not gay at all, but only ephebophile. I don't
see how I could make it any clearer.

Anything can come across as insulting, when seen through a particular
lens... *shrugs*
