.....Studds publicly acknowledged he was gay in 1983 after being censured by the House for having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old male congressional page.

So at best the score is 1-1?

[...Democratic Rep. Barney Frank is known for his witty candor and his dedication to liberal causes, particularly gay rights. One of the few openly gay members of Congress, Frank had been in Washington six years before he came to out to his colleagues, and the nation, in 1987. Two years later he found himself embroiled in a sex scandal with a male prostitute named Stephen Gobie that thrust him into the spotlight.]

I would have thought that this too would offend normal values? If it is not enough however, then try a Google search of why the US House of representatives' House Ethics Committee was not amused. But then again what's not OK elsewhere may be OK in New Zealand.

I really dont give a flying rats arse what two "consenting" adults do (and there is nothing that says he was under age) nor do care about their sexual orientation, colour or religion but I find it a very different senario to preying on minors however given the nature of the church I guess minors are fair game even in Australia?.

Score remains 1-1?
