Dave Weigel, the intrepid Washington Independent reporter, was at the Omni Shoreham last week for the conservative Value Voters conference. during the conference Tom Coburn's chief of staff, Michael Schwartz embarked on a rambling explanation of the perils of homosexuality.
Schwartz is a longtime conservative activist who has been with Oklahoma Republican for 15 years.
Then he began discoursing on the evils of pornography. He concluded that if you told 10-year-old boys that looking at naked pictures of women would make them gay, then they wouldn't be buying Playboy.
“Pornography is a blight... It is a disaster. It is one of those silent diseases in our society that we haven’t been able to overcome very well. Now, I may be getting politically incorrect here. And it’s been a few years, but not that many, since I was closely associated with pre-adolescent boys, boys around 10 years of age. But it is my observation that boys of that age have less tolerance for homosexuality than just about any other class of people. They speak badly about homosexuality. And that’s because they don’t want to be that way. They don’t want to fall into it.”
Schwartz told the crowd about Jim Johnson, a friend of his who turned an old hotel into a hospice for gay men dying of AIDS. “One of the things he said to me,” said Schwartz, “that I think is an astonishingly insightful remark… he said ‘All pornography is homosexual pornography, because all pornography turns your sexual drive inwards.”

There were murmurs and gasps from the crowd during the speech.
