God, where does someone start with this?
Firstly, I agree with Ratbastrd in regards to the woman involved. If she was a model, or say even worse in the other direction and "handicapped," should our reaction be different. Bad choice to characterize her as ugly, further deomization is unneeded, that's for sure.
As for the witchcraft angle, it always bothers me when this kind of thing hits the mainstream media because they are quoting the "pagans" involved in the rituals, even though they are likely not knowledgeable about that it is they are talking about. I can make up my own religion where I dismember cats, drink the blood of virgins and fuck squirrel holes in dead Elm trees, and then tell the media I was simply practicing "witchcraft," and that is what would appear in the papers and on television. The media in North America (and expecially in the U.S.) has real issues with misrepresentation and the leg work that reporters sued to do ahs been replaced by cursory Internet searches and re-wording of press releases. Just plain sad.
As for the homosexual aspects, both of the act and of the teachers home life, I would hope that none of that would be cause to cast a negative light on all gay couples looking to adopt. That's like saying that since I know a heterosexual couple who are alcoholics and are bad parents that all heterosexuals are likewise aflicted. Sheesh, so much for tolerance.
Peace,
Pierre
