In an infamous moment at the Values Voter Summit over the weekend, captured on video by Dave Weigel, Sen. Tom Coburn's (R-OK) chief of staff Michael Schwartz made the case against pornography. "All pornography is homosexual pornography," said Schwartz, quoting an ex-gay friend of his, "because all pornography turns your sexual drive inwards."

Schwartz then explained the side benefit of this finding -- that if boys know pornography will make them gay, they'll never touch it, taking advantage of what Schwartz sees as a natural homophobia. "And if you tell an 11-year-old boy about that, do you think he's going to want to get a copy of Playboy?" he said. "I'm pretty sure he'll lose interest. That's the last thing he wants!"

sputter...

"because all pornography turns your sexual drive inwards."

From where does this child believe sexual drive originates? The moon? This war on sex is as pointless as any other conservative war on (insert foolish "problem" here).

Values voters my Great Aunt Bertha's TOENAIL...who are these people kidding?

they don't want people to expend their sexual energy on, you know, actual sex.

They want to bottle up the sexual instinct and channel the resulting pent-up frustration and primal urges into supporting their political causes. Remember the Junior Anti-Sex League in 1984? Its sole, 'true' purpose was to support the Party.

Don't let porn turn your sexual sexual drive inward! Direct your sex drive outward -- toward prostitutes, congressional pages, Argentinian lovers, meth-using masseuses, and the guy in the bathroom stall next to you.

yes, they are, and lying to your kids about stuff like this only undermines adult authority. I'm not so old that I can't remember how I thought at that age.

Teens are VERY skeptical of adult authority and have a highly-tuned hypocrisy meter. When they realize authority is lying to them about marijuana or masturbation or what-have-you, it doesn't take long before they quit listening to authority, even when they really ought to be.

I'm surprised they haven't gone that route. It would seem very obvious that if you touch yourself sexually that you're touching a person of the same gender. Therefore you must be gay. That's why values voters--or whatever the right-wing bible-thumping morons prefer to be called these days--never touch their genitalia. They don't wash it in the shower or hold it when they go to the bathroom. They don't even look at it, except by accident. And then, if they do, they have to self-flagellate for 15 minutes to clear the image of it out of their heads.

What's truly hilarious about this, and what shows their disingenuousness, is that if they truly wanted to shut Playboy down, they would simply call for a boycott. But that would smack of opposition to free markets and capitalism, and lead one on the road to socialism. Can't have that! LOL.

I see a lot of promise for this approach. I think Values Voters parents should start telling their 11 year old boys, "If you don't mow the lawn, you'll turn gay!" "If you don't take out the trash, you'll turn gay!"

Maybe the married family-values on-the-down-low GOP brigade is looking for some hot young twinks and this is how they make more of them???

The point of pornography is to help you imagine being with someone else, presumably someone of the opposite sex if you are straight. By Schwartz reasoning, it's makes you more gay to masturbate without pornography.

that if boys know pornography will make them gay, they'll never touch it, taking advantage of what Schwartz sees as a natural homophobia.

I'm surprised I haven't seen much written here on the "natural homophobia" comment. It's not homophobia which these boys have, it's fear of being labeled as homosexual.

It's the homosexualmisia which the right continues - which is implicit in Schwartz's comments - the hatred of homosexuals, their harassment, their persecution, their bashing. It's the right's belief that bullying will keep boys from being queer. That's why they insist that hate crimes shouldn't include sexual orientation.

This is what 11 year old boys are afraid of. And anyone who's been an 11-16 year old boy, and has seen what damage these bullying idjits can do, is afraid, and for good reason. See Shepard, Matthew.

And Mr. Schwartz feels no problem with channeling this. He should be subjected - just for one day - to the persecution that a gay boy (or one labeled as gay) has to endure.

Grrrr. Sorry. This thing really pisses me off.

you know what? That is a VERY good point and I should have thought of it. I was raised by a father who was (and still is) completely and truly deranged when it comes to the topic of homosexuality (male homosexuality, that is... lesbians don't seem to bother him quite as much, imagine that).

Just about every single thing I did growing up, it seems, was seen by him through his 'is it gay?' filter. I shit you not, he thought I was gay because I had rock band posters all over the walls of my bedroom rather than semi-clad female models. And since back then pretty much every rock band was all male... then obviously I must be gay.

If I didn't punch out the kids at school when they teased me... that meant I was effeminate. If I didn't date much in high school, that meant I was gay (rather than, you know, shy and with major self-esteem issues thanks to dear old dad).

On and on and on like this.

I can't tell you how many times he called me a 'faggot'. Did I say 'called'? I meant to say, 'screamed it, veins bulging, two inches from my face'.

It's amazing I didn't turn out gay after spending pretty much my entire childhood being bullied by a queer-hating monster like that.

No no, that one's easy to explain. You see, the Bible gets down on Teh Ghey in Leviticus, the book of the law, and there, it's very careful to always use the specific gender-based terms for "man" and "woman" or the more general term (that translates as "person") when it applies to everyone.

If you check the proscriptions against homosexuality, it's the specific 'man lies with a man as he would with a woman' language.

And nothing is said about women lying with women. God likes lesbians.

And if you tell these people that, they will become extremely upset with you. But it's true, and it proves God's a dirty old man: he loves teh girl/girl action.

The "natural homophobia" was buried with so much other palaver, it got lost. But it's an important point.

The whole monologue is beyond strange. He has an "ex-homosexual friend"? Hmmmm. Right. Just like when someone approaches a psychologists or psychiatrist, or medical doctor, and says "I have a friend who. . . . .what should they do about it?" Yeah. "Ex-homosexual friend", my ass.

Hey~ I agree 100%

What struck me was how easy it is for these fascist religious nuts to spew out their hatred of gays without missing a beat. Being a gay kid is a nightmare exactly because of assholes like these. My gay nephew just quit high school altogether because he was endlessly bullied for being gay and the teachers would always back up the bullies and their parents. They just take their small hateful bigotry and call it a religion. Magic Jeebus never said ANYTHING about being gay, so they are not Christian anything, they are just haters looking for excuses. If you think you need to follow the Old Testament to the letter then you are a very Orthodox Jew. Good luck with that. Leviticus was mostly a book of animal sacrifice and superstition. The truth here is that these religious wack jobs would like to take all gay kids out of schools and send them to their re-education camps. No more gays!

Well, back in the day we didn't have access to Playboy. However, we could always count on National Geographic to go to some tropical region and take pictures of topless native women. I guess that Nat'l Geo is part of the Great Homo Agenda. Time to start burning down libraries....

Ron White nailed this years ago.
In 51 secs of almost off-color comedy (stops mid-word on a one-syllable punch line), he proves, through watching porn, that all men are gay.

You HAVE to watch this.

Hmm...I have an exhusband and a current fiance who both had very big porn collections before me, and neither of them are gay.

I've been known to watch it once in awhile and I'm not gay.

Where the frack do they come up with this?

In watching this man talk about homosexuality and porn and listening to his voice, it almost sounded like he was enjoying talking about it. Maybe the man has a problem with his own sexuality. Sounded weird to me, let alone the absurdity of everything he said.

These people are frabbing crazy.

I really love porn and haven't had one urge to bang or be banged by a guy my whole depraved, raunchy sex filled life. But if I were gay, I'd be just as depraved as I am as a hetro.

Porn is to sex as degrees are to education.

We have beginner porn with the no show stuff. - High School.

We have x rated porn - some bush, nothing too off the top. - Bachelors Degree.

We have xx rated porn - lots of visuals, various positions some oral. - Masters Degree

We have xxx rated porn - lots of everything! Various positions, multiple partners, cameras in places and positions you just never thought possible. - PHD.

Then we have specialist in various sub categories. etc, etc....

We have xxx porn

Schwartz then explained the side benefit of this finding -- that if boys know pornography will make them gay, they'll never touch it, taking advantage of what Schwartz sees as a natural homophobia. "And if you tell an 11-year-old boy about that, do you think he's going to want to get a copy of Playboy?" he said. "I'm pretty sure he'll lose interest. That's the last thing he wants!"

I see a lot of promise for this approach. I think Values Voters parents should start telling their 11 year old boys, "If you don't mow the lawn, you'll turn gay!" "If you don't take out the trash, you'll turn gay!"
