South Dakota senator likes to write about gay sex

Here's the thing about sex acts I personally don't like: I don't write about them much. For example; I don't think I'd much care for a woman dropping scorpions down my underwear which is why I almost never write about it...almost. Steve Hickey, a senator from South Dakota, has different ideas.



Steve Hickey tried, and failed, to get a long and explicit letter on gay sex published in a local paper. Rebuffed he then turned to facebook.

Consider this an open letter to the medical and psychological communities in South Dakota. The subject is homosexuality, which is about to be a front-page topic for the next few years in our state. I’m asking the doctors who practice in our state, is the science really settled on this issue or is it more the case that you feel silenced and intimidated? Certainly there are board-certified doctors in our state who will attest to what seems self-evident to so many: gay sex is not good for the body or mind. Pardon a crude comparison but regarding men with men, we are talking about a one-way alley meant only for the garbage truck to go down. Frankly, I’d question the judgment of doctor who says it’s all fine.

Certainly there are professionals who agree with Steve. Of course he'll cite none of them and declare those that disagree as deficient.



And clearly he is a man that researches this, like, a lot because he knows all these great facts that no one else, including professionals, talk about. Like the following.

Quote:

South Dakota docs, it’s time for you to come out of the closet and give your professional opinion on this matter like you capably and responsibly do on all the others. Somehow the message we are presently getting from the medical community is that eating at McDonalds will kill us but the gay lifestyle has no side effects.

Somehow a search for "MCDonalds will kill us but gay sex has no side effects" only turns up his little facebook rant. It is almost like he made that up!



And he likes making up facts. He also makes up historical ones.

Quote:

This indeed is a matter of being on the wrong side of history considering that historically, homosexuality has been a notable marker of the downfall of past civilizations, not their rise.

Other made up facts about failing civilizations: they increasingly name their dogs after the month they are adopted. Frisbee tournaments become popular. And Kevin Bacon protest dances in abandoned warehouses go up like 1300%.

Quote:

The South Dakota High School Activities Association is presently considering changing the rules to accommodate transgender kids. Forty-one percent of those who struggle with Gender Dysphoria attempt suicide, that's twenty-five times the rate of the general population—certainly tragic and urgent but not a word from the medical and psychological communities?

It is almost like people persecuted for no good reason get depressed about it. And I guess Steve thinks the scientific community doesn't speak out about it because he's too busy pretending they don't exist. If he had done even a cursory search he might have found the following:

But they obviously don't count since Steve previously dismissed professional opinion on the matter. After all, Steve knows the real problem is that these darn kids are confused and that is breaking society.

Quote:

Letting boys play girl sports is not the starting place to fix the suicide problem or the very real daily struggle these students face dealing with something they have been handed in life. Society is broken and people have broken identities.

Yeah, tell those kids they are broken. That will surely cure their depression there Steve. Why don't you next go tell the starving kids in Africa their unhappiness drives away the rain!

Quote:

Is it really best for us to break down the one remaining thing that has been working in society to try to fix the broken in our midst?

This thing that is working is......?

Quote:

And does it really even do that, or does it merely put them in more places exposing them to additional painful ostracization all the while transferring serious anxieties to other innocent and impressionable ones in those locker rooms? We need to have compassion but there are unintended consequences to consider too.

Oh, the other kids might have to accept people who are different? Well how terrible! Surely we can't have that! Being mean was a decision made by the people! Not those intellectuals that read books and conduct studies.

Quote:

Before we let lawyers and judges decide this for our state and override the will of the people in the 2006 election, I issue a call to the medical and psychological communities and associations to weigh in publicly and timely on the matter of homosexuality and the human body, psyche and family, particular kids.

Weigh in science eggheads. It isn't like Steve has a history of ignoring you or anything.
