Mother wins lawsuit over gay porn
Edge Boston publishes this piece of news about a Tennessee woman whose two daughters were "exposed" to gay porn video sequences while staying at a California motel, the Value Lodge, which doesn't seem to use a pay-per-view system for pornography channels on its TV sets. Edge writes that "some might find the idea that someone could win thousands of dollars after two children are exposed to a few minutes of pornography ridiculous." Well, not that ridiculous, but one should think carefully what kind of parents are those who don't oversee the type of TV channels their kids could be watching. I don't know how to express this right in plain English, but the fact that one parent claims "emotional distress" over what seems to me it's her own fault for allowing the kids to play with remotes without proper supervision — that proper fact would made me reverse the judgement and rule that Mrs. McCombs would be liable to pay the motel those thousands. Based on stupidity, laissez faire and inability to be a good parent. Heterosexuals and the religious right may say that we gays are not good parents and all that stuff, but I bet I can raise any child much better, more balanced, and psychologically and physically fitter than any of those stereotyped Americans who tend to rely on lawsuits every time they commit a mistake. Period.
