Virtuous? Try Ludicrous
The critic who leveled the Outright/linking charges against Gene Robinson is "conservative Anglican activist and writer" David Virtue. Virtue issued a warning on his Website stating "the site which [Robinson] says is geared for 12 to 22-year olds, provides Internet links that will take these vulnerable young people directly to hard core pornography."Ridiculous. You can make this argument about virtually any Website with external links.
David Virtue's own Website provides Internet links that will take vulnerable young people directly to hard core pornography. Virtue links directly to a purveyor of pornographic titles such as Gay Men and Anal heartaches: Tops, Bottoms and Versatiles, Witchhunt Foiled: The FBI VS. Nambla (which appears to be a nambla publication), and, of course, The Joy of Gay Sex. Not only does Virtue provide links to these materials, he (or somebody affiliated with his site) profits every time an innocent child buys pornographic titles through his site and gets the gay.
As to the other charges of innappropriate touching, it apparantly occured "when Robinson touched a married man in his 40’s on his bicep, shoulder and upper back in the process of a public conversation at a province meeting around two years ago." (link via Tapped by way of MeFi)
