MICHAEL KEARNS

"I... have a friend facing a possible jail sentence for having sex with a couple of 15- year-olds. I love my friend; he is a good person. At the preliminary trial, it became evident to me that the "victims" were the seducers, who had already repeatedly had sex with each other. But in the eyes of the court, their age is the sole determining factor to be weighed....
From tea room to drag queen, I applaud every gay subculture.... Discrimination among ourselves is profoundly self-destructive. NAMBLA deserves to be heard and respected."

~ Michael Kearns, in "Men Loving Boys," in the

Los Angeles gay magazine,Edge,August 31, 1988.
