FOR THE RECORD… KEVIN JENNINGS, HARRY HAY, AND NAMBLA….
For the record, caller Kevin in Virginia challenged whether it was right to associate Kevin Jennings, a school safety official in the Obama Administration, with NAMBLA.
The connection was that Jennings publicly lauded a man named Harry Hay, who was a pioneer in the gay political movement in San Francisco.
Harry Hay was a frequent and vocal supporter of the North American Man Boy Love Association, and this is a quote from a speech Harry Hay gave in New York in 1983.
“I also would like to say at this point that it seems to me that in the gay community the people who should be running interference for NAMBLA are the parents and friends of gays. Because if the parents and friends of gays are truly friends of gays, they would know from their gay kids that the relationship with an older man is precisely what thirteen-, fourteen-, and fifteen-year-old kids need more than anything else in the world. And they would be welcoming this, and welcoming the opportunity for young gay kids to have the kind of experience that they would need.”
For the record…
