I would not compare a gay Republican's sexuality with the sick predatory urgings of a criminally deranged man who happens to have been accused of being a gay Republican.
I understand that there was not as much information available about his conversations with the page when you made your initial post, but once a minor boy was known to be the victim, the proper term of pederast should have been used instead of any direct or indirect reference to a non-child-drooling homosexual male. It may seem like a minor thing to most, but it is a very important distinction to make.
