This issue hit home this year in California with the passing of SB-1414. The goal of the bill was to make purchasing a child prostitute a felony for all (shocking it already wasn't). However, the legislators gutted the bill so it only protected some children in some circumstances, not all children. The justification? It isn't equitable.
Most people think equity and equality are the same thing. They are not. Equity = equal results. Equality = equal opportunity.
Since gay people purchase more children than straight people, they would be convicted at higher rates than straight people. The legislators argued that since there wouldn't be equitable results, so the rules had to be changed to ensure that the same conviction rates amongst the various demographics of color/sex orientation.
The focus was about protecting perpetrators. The children didn't matter to the legislators. The fact that sex trafficking children is a violation of the 13th amendment didn't matter to the legislators.
This is how the democrats deceive people into going along with policies that lead to a loss of opportunity and open the door for more people to be victimized. The call you an anti-gay homophobe for wanting to protect kids.
