Yet another anti-gay fanatic. Michael Pakaluk is a former
philosophy professor at Clark University in Worcester, and writes columns for
the Catholic newspaper The Pilot. He
is most famous for a 2010 piece defending the decision by a Hingham priest to
rescind the acceptance of a child of a lesbian couple to a local parochial
school. In the piece (described here)
Pakaluk argued that one reason the children of gay parents should not be
admitted to Catholic schools is the “real danger” that they would bring
pornography to school. The danger is real, because pornographic items “go along
with the same-sex lifestyle, which – as not being related to procreation – is
inherently eroticized and pornographic.” He added that gay parents should not
be called “parents” unless they are biologically related to their children.
The Pilot issued a
classic not-pology: “we apologize if anyone felt offended by it.” Apologizing
for people’s reactions to the shit they write is not apologizing.
Diagnosis: Dunghead. Probably of negligible importance.
