Well known Republican conservative Michael Schwartz, who is also the Chief of Staff for Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn, told attendees at the annual Value Voters Summit to "keep pornography away from young boys because it will turn them gay" the Washington Independent has reported.
Mr. Schwartz made his comments during a panel discussion led "The New Masculinity" on the final day of the conservative meet up, which was held this year at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington D.C. Schwartz went on to tell his audience that “Pornography is a blight. It is a disaster. It is one of those silent diseases in our society that we haven't been able to overcome very well. It is my observation that boys of that age (referring to adolescent youth) have less tolerance for sexuality than just about any other class of people. They speak badly about sexuality and that's because they don't want to be that way. They don't want to fall into it.”
Mr. Schwartz also spoke to the crowd about an AIDS activist and "ex-gay" friend who told him; “All pornography is sexual pornography, because all pornography turns your sexual drive inwards.” He used this statement from his "ex-gay" friend to attempt to justify his point that; "If you tell an 11-year-old boy about that, do you think he's going to want to get a copy of Playboy? I'm pretty sure he'll lose interest. That's the last thing he wants! It's a good point, and it's a good thing to teach young people" he commented.
At one point during this rant, Schwartz spoke even more directly by saying; "If it doesn’t turn you sexual, it at least renders you less capable of loving your wife. And it’s something you need to be healed of.”
Understandably Mr. Schwartz' comments fired up bloggers across the country who collectively shook their heads to these ridiculous insights.
Dan Savage, editor of the Seattle publication The Stranger, didn't hold back with his response saying that "These people are absolutely terrified of human sexuality. They're afraid of women having control of their own reproductive systems, they're afraid of pornography, they're afraid of masturbation, of birth control, and of sexuality". He went on to add that "What's most amazing about this particular lie is how easily disproved it is. If pornography and masturbation makes you gay how come all men aren't gay?” Savage asks. Fair enough question it seems. There are a lot of straight men out there who enjoy porn, and it hasn't turned them gay yet!
The Value Voters Summit is an annual event for Conservatives sponsored by the Family Research Council, which is a conservative, Christian right non-profit lobbying organization. The FRC's mission statement explains that the Family Research Council exists to provide educational materials to the general public concerning traditional Judeo-Christian family values and ethics, and information concerning legislative and judicial developments affecting family life and values.
Is human sexuality really so frightening that people have to employ tactics to scare "the gay" out of someone? sexuality is not caused by pornography. The type of porn that someone may choose to view is already determined by their sexual interests, not the other way around. Many people may not like pornography, but it certainly isn't a magic spell that turns people gay when they view it. Using this as a reason for why people should not watch pornography is ridiculous and offensive in the context that it is being used. In the 1950's these same types of people believed, and preached to the masses that masturbation would make you go blind. Stating that pornography turns people gay is applying this same "out-of-touch with reality" type of logic. The only thing more laughable than this nonsense, is the fact that the folks who endorse this type of brainwashing actually believe the crap that they are perpetuating.
Below is a video of this man in action. (Mr. Schwartz begins his anti-porn/anti-gay tirade at the 2:47 mark) Enjoy!

Wow...
If only you were offended when liberals make outlandish statement.
I laughed at the statement "Well known Republican conservative Michael Schwartz." He's not very well known! The starting of a meaningless article.
Who said I was offended? I have a mat from Tom Smykowski to sell you.

Those filthy gots say they were born that way. They can't help there perversions. Atleast that is what they say.
Do you watch porn?
Chumps about to get his jerk on.
it was just a matter of time before this thread sunk to the depths of sheer absurdity.
It's just a question. Do you watch porn?Chumps about to get his jerk on.
jack and WC have their own unique way of making that happen.
wtf!? Chump told me midget pr0n would give me super powers.
It's never "just a question" with you. It's a series of questions that leads you down a path to fullfill whatever fantasy you conjure up in that whacked out brain of yours. I refuse to help you fill that spank bank of yours talking about porn with you. I decline to answer your question. LOL
What....and you bought that.......it didn't do for him why'd you think it would help you.wtf!? Chump told me midget pr0n would give me super powers.
What's absurd is men sticking their KAWKs in and out each others hole. WTF? Thats HOLE. comes out the hole and these s stick there s in these HOLES. That's absurd. The whole getting married to each other, adopting kids (cuz they can't ing make them),holding hands, licking there balls and ass,cuddling, having little nicknanames for each other is absurd. s are nasty s.
You're gay as .
Sticking with the topic. Porn does not make you gay.
Does porn make you gay?
If it did, woudn't Barney Frank be trying to pass a bill or something?
He's trying to figure out a way he can make money on it first.
trueIt's never "just a question" with you. It's a series of questions that leads you down a path to fullfill whatever fantasy you conjure up
just answer the question i asked you, followed by 5 more and then i'll lastword you to death
Why do you care so much? , I think people who have foot fetishes are weird. I don't obsess about it though.
Actually I was just going to bring it back to the topic, but jack said all his porn watching didn't make him gay, so it would have ended there.
A few people who are against the sexual lifestyle do like to go into VERY graphic detail about the parts they don't like. And for longer than anyone would consider necessary.
Edit: In fact, just remember... one of my good friends use to disparage gays alot... and then came out as one a year or two later after I met her.
