If it were straight porn, he'd have gotten into a bit of trouble with "Oh, that naughty priest!" titters, but since it's gay porn, in their tiny bigoted minds it's "It's only 1 step from gay to kiddy porn! Investigation!"

Equality Channel Description:

A channel for videos relating to racism, bigotry, discrimination, segregation / integration, sexism, ageism, tyranny, civil rights and all struggles for equality.
Political and economic oppression videos also have a home here.

... I believe that the struggle for equality includes equal rights for gay/lesbian/transgendered/bisexual people.


I'm sure you must already know that I share that sentiment. The equality channel has over 300 sifts relating to the topic. Some of which I submitted or promoted myself.

... As @EvilDeathBee pointed out this is only a national story because of the gayness of the porn involved.


Sorry, I just don't agree. IMO it's a story because it was a priest with gay porn. Not just because the porn itself had gay content. Granted, the fact that the porn was gay in nature is a part of it, but not everything *gay is also *equality.

If the issue is that the priest was investigated, well, it was the Archdiocese of the church that called the police and handed over the USB drive. Considering all the sexual abuse scandals the church has had over the years, what would be the public outcry if they didn't have it investigated? "Priest shows gay porn to children, Church does nothing."

Back on topic .. Displaying gay porn, accidentally or not, to a group of unsuspecting parents and a child is not an equal rights issue.

The priest has not identified himself as being gay.
I don't see anything in this video relating to equal rights for gay people.

Okay

Equality is for everyone, even gay priests.

I like lesbian porn. Is that a gay rights issue? Am I a lesbian?
Did the priest come out as gay?
In what way does this specific video represent the equal rights of gay people being infringed upon?

wow foiled by windows autoplay.
but assuming it was on purpose? eh... its just giving too much twist. no, i feel bad for them but hopefully they can still preach if they want.
but still what a boner.

I bet there's a series of tips on porn stash management somewhere - think I saw some good tips on reddit recently...

I agree with Cenk. A secret that big weighs very heavy on the mind, so heavy that the mind will do what it must to relieve said weight, including mixing up some flash drives.

I feel the fact that he was 'investigated' just for having legal gay porn because he was a priest helps make this an equality issue. If a scientist or a doctor makes the same gaff, they don't get investigated. Priests and teachers are suddenly assumed to be predators because they engage in something that pretty much everybody engages in. Even if it was straight porn this would happen.

How is that not an equality issue? Even putting aside the gay rights issue.
