Reply #22: Only when a person's private sex life, and all the variations

[sabrina 1]

of lewdness people engage in that we have no right to even know about, regarding sex, becomes a 'sin' or 'illegal'.

The individuals who, imo, should be condemned here are those who engaged in peering in through the virtual window of the women and of Weiner, whose personal sex lives were none of their business.

Do you condemn all people who have sex, people who engage in S&M, eg? Personally I don't care what others do in their personal sex lives so long as they are not breaking laws and are adults. Should all people whose sexual behavior you consider to be 'lewd' quit their jobs? The far right, eg, believe gay sex to be a sin and worse than lewd.

Recently there was a case where two college students were arrested and tried for spying on a gay student, filming him while engaged in sex and putting online. Are you saying it was the gay student who was wrong?

How much invasion of a person's privacy will it take to convince you and others calling for the Congressman to quit, will it take before you realize that some things are just more reprehensible than a few adults engaging in cyber sex and start calling for the condemnation of those who invaded the privacy of those adults and then used it as a political tool?

As far as the 'lying', when someone is rudely asked about their personal sex life they have the right to lie, to say nothing, to punch the moron who dared to ask, to walk away, maybe even to sue that individual. A sex lie is something that happens when a person's right to privacy has been invaded because they live in a society where they are made to feel ashamed of having sex.

Good for you for taking us even further down the road of living by the prudish standards of the far right where a grown man or woman is treated like a pariah for engaging in the perfectly natural behavior of sexual activity. Are you shocked at the photos? Never saw a penis before? The sex? Didn't know people engage in cyber sex etc without our permission?

I don't know what the crime is here. To me the crime is the disgusting notion that spying on people in their own 'bedrooms' as it were, has now become acceptable. What next? Will it be okay for Breitbart to bring a camera to someone's home and film them through their windows?

I don't like witch hunters. And that's the real story here. A man was the target of a witch hunt and the witch hunters knew that if they could just 'prove' he was 'having sex' online, the media, rather than tell him there is no story here, most people have sex, would react the same way as the Salem trial judges. How sad is it that we still live in such an atmosphere, and how frightening.

Sorry I can't share your outrage, but his sex life is not my business, nor is yours or anyone else's. My outrage is reserved for the despicable, disgusting, reprehensible, hateful behavior of the far right who were on a mission to destroy yet another life, by any means possible, and I will not help them with that.
