Why is this OK?

                         Yesterday Lawrence Taylor was indicted on a rape charge for paying a 16 year old girl $300 to have sex with him. http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory?id=10991126 Now, I never have been much of a fan of Lawrence Taylor especially his personal life. Certainly, he is one of the all-time great linebackers, but his off the field antics are despicable at times. However, this latest alleged crime seems petty compared to the celebrated mainstream media story that came out today. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=170553. Apparently, having a 10 year old boy as grand marshal of the gay pride parade in Fayetteville, Arkansas is an honorable thing, but Lawrence Taylor is vilified and going to prison for allegedly soliciting a 16 year old. Apparently, there was never any sex that occurred between the two people. Yet, the district attorney in the case feels Taylor was "endangering the welfare of the child." Although I am not justifying Taylor's actions, this girl was 16 and a prostitute. Certainly, she is of age to get an abortion. On the other hand, the organization GLADD is pimping a 10 year old boy as grand marshal of their gay pride parade. I thought NAMBLA no longer was a part of the gay pride parades? Not only, are there not charges brought against GLADD, the boy's parents, and the organizers of this event , but the event celebrating a 10 year old boy promoting gay sex is being celebrated the leftist mainstream media. How is using a 10 year old child as grand marshal promoting homosexual sex OK? If its not OK and a crime for Lawrence Taylor to solicit a 16 year old, then why on earth is it OK for the Fayetteville gay pride parade to have a 10 year old boy promote homosexual sex? Finally, if this boy is so proud about homosexuality, shouldn't the authorities look into the boy's parents and the organizers of the event also? Obviously, there is a strong chance this boy might have been violated by any one of these people. If not, why is he expert spokesman and grand marshal of the parade?
