Michael Jackson allegedly molested boys and is already being eulogised. Oscar Wilde allegedly consorted with teenage rent boys and is eulogised as one of our greatest writers. and Cathal O Searcaigh – well we can’t really eulogise his talent because he has none – is allegedly consorting with Nepalese teenage boys. The common denominator is all of this is the word “boys”. But if you replace the word boys with the word “girls” the sisters would quite rightly destroy the reputations of the lot of them.

Meanwhile, our contempt for teenage males is now enshrined in our laws. Next week a number of teenage boys will appear in court charged with rape. Their crime was to have sex with girls under 17, even though the teenage boys in question were under 17 at the time also. According to our Orwellian laws, introduced just over two years ago to appease all sorts of hysteria from the usual suspects, the girl is innocent (quite rightly so) in this situation. But the boy will be charged with rape and could face up to five years in jail as well as having his name placed on the sex offenders list.

The girl in the above context is referred to as “a female child under the age of 17″. The male child in the above context under the age of 17 has no definition – after all he is a “depraved rapist and sex offender.”

A number of these cases will be heard next week. This is a national scandal and it is also scandalous that the Sisters and various other equality quangos have nothing to say about this. Do they want to see these children jailed?

Meantime, if you are the parent or guardian of a teenage boy – and yes we know they can be a total pain – then be afraid, be very afraid.

Here’s Kevin Myres writing on the subject today.

Neasa Ni Chianain and her partner David Rane are doing this in response to a short film in defence of O Searcaigh, which concludes that the accusation that the poet is an exploitative sex tourist is a lie, according to the Indo.

Again, according to the Indo, the film maker, Paddy Bushe, a member of Aosodana, “made his first foray into film making to defend O Searcaigh, who he admitted to the Sunday Indo was now a close friend.”

In Fairytale of Kathmandu a Nepalese teenager, Naryan Panta speaks of being in O’Searcaigh’s room.

“Most of the time, his hand is on my penis also. In the morning he told me, I love sex, ” Panta is quoted as saying in today’s Sunday Indo.

The full interview with Panta lasts about 35 minutes. The above plan to load the full interview on the Fairytale of Kathmandu website in the next few days.

If you have a problem with anyone being gay, you came to the wrong place. Take your prejudice somewhere else. This isn’t about anyone’s sexual orientation. Not Cathal O Searcaigh’s and not David Norris’s.

I hope you’re clear on that.
