'Family Values'

Why is it always those who preach 'family values' that end up caught in seedy hotels with prostitutes and drugs?

A while back anti-gay marriage campaigner Pastor Ted Haggard was found out to have paid for sex with a gay prostitute and of having bought methamphetamine:

'"I bought it for myself but never used it. I was tempted but I never used it,"

Sure Ted. And when responding to the admission of Mike Jones of Denver that Haggard had paid him for sex repeatedly he denied it though admitted that he'd received a 'massage'.

Sure Ted. This is what Mike had to say:

'"It made me angry that here's someone preaching about gay marriage and going behind the scenes having gay sex," '

This is all old news though, but a similar thing has occurred in Italy with a conservative 'family values' politician caught in a hotel with an overdosed prostitute. He denied that all was as it seemed by arguing that he didn't know she was taking drugs, nor did he know she was a prostitute:

'Asked if he had paid the girl for sex, Mr Mele replied: "Not exactly. I spontaneously gave her a present."
Pressed further, he admitted that the present had been a sum in cash, "though not excessive". He denied reports that he had taken part in a threesome, saying that while there had been another woman present she had only chatted to the first woman in the suite's sitting room while he lay in bed watching television.
"I think I fell asleep while they were talking," he said. "Perhaps that was when they took drugs." '


Sure mate.

The moral of these stories is keep your inner conflicts out of the lives of everyone else. If you're gay and you can't stand it, deal with it, don't push your hypocritical prejudices onto others. Or similarly if you love dope and hookers, don't expect everyone else to toe the Christian line.
