Church demands the victim apologize to pastor's wife since the pastor did the rape.

The double standard is all the people that came out in defense of a certain gay politician having sex with an underage boy. At first everyone played dumb, then they began making excuses.

The irony is it was considered 'slanderous' when HE was referred to as a pedophile...

If the boy was underage, it was pedophilia by definition, and was a crime. Where's the double standard?

Notice how statutory rape is suddenly a SUPERFLUOUS law when it involves a gay man?

Also some victim blaming.

It bothers me that I'm agreeing with you so far. Where's the catch?

Note that Milk recorded his age as 18.  It is credible that the boy said he was, and if you look at photographs, he looks all of 18.

He didn't look like a child, so the accusation of pedophilia collapses.

(this quote wasn't from Huggy btw) Yeah, no. I'm with the X-tian guy on this one. There are plenty of hot 15 year-old girls that are totally fuckable-looking. But the "I thought she was 19. Hell, she SAID she was 19" defence is going to be VERY hard to succeed with, unless she produced fake ID. It's up to an adult entering a sexual situation to do due process in determining that a young-looking sex partner is of legal age.

Of course! What other double standard would I be referring to on the subject of adults having sex with underage teens?

You could be talking about church leaders, especially in the Catholic church, having sex with underage teens and then just getting transferred when caught, and rarely facing legal prosecution. That is also a pretty serious double standard.
