Ginsberg, Vidal, Allen, Burroughs, who knows how many rock idols and figures in the movies. He seems to have a real thing for child rapists, excusing them and their crimes, defending them from criticism from people like me. I don't think it's a sex thing with him, I think it's his worship of celebrity, especially 1960s icons, the time of his youth. His head's stuck up the ass end of the 1960s.
It's a stupid thing. People who don't progress become stupid even if they didn't start out that way. The play left is controlled by such people which is why it never goes anywhere and hampers the real left.
Someday I'll go over more of the idiots and scummy jerks who were supporters of pedophilia, presenting it as a civil liberties issue, until they realized they'd gone one groovy groove too far and that it was going to cost them.
I was rather proud of my fellow LGBTs who rejected that bullshit even as a small minority wanted to make supporting the "right" of men to rape children the next big thing c. the 70s and 80s. A lot of the pedo promoters were involved with "skepticism" and "humanism".
Unfortunately, it flourishes as a "free speech" thing in porn and online. The attempt of Tumblr to get shut of that kind of thing and the fury of the porn "free speechers" for shutting it off was quite something. They've gone to other platforms to spread it, much of it alleged to be illegal but which doesn't seem to get shut down by law enforcement.
Update: Oh, and about the slam against Andrea Dworkin. The biggest problem with Andrea Dworkin wasn't the general content of what she said, it was that when she went off the deep end her excesses were useful to those who wanted to discredit the really legitimate and valuable things she said. I respect a lot of what she said and wrote even as I admit that some of what she said was not only wrong but useful to the enemies of equality and child protection. She started out a good friend of Allen Ginsberg before she realized he was a pedophile child abuser and promoter. To her credit, that was a deal breaker in a way it wasn't to so many others.
Update 2: Apparently he's in a swivet that I've dissed porn as well as pedos. Maybe there's more to his reaction to this than I thought. He's sounding a bit like Dworkin said Ginsberg was when he told her he was worried about getting arrested for the pictures he was taking of underage boys and sharing with his pedo-pals. Apparently there were witnesses to some of the exchange, much of which happened at a dinner party after the Bar Mitzvah in which she and Ginsberg were the "godparents," kind of odd as I believe both of them were atheists. Apparently Ginsberg told her it would be all right for an old goat like him to have sex with a 13 year old boy because "he was a man," using his "godson" and his friends as an example. Maybe he's got something like that that's got him shook.
