Persecuted, Prosecuted

Two adults could be jailed for two years for a consensual relationship. This news article refers to them or their actions as:

"depraved"
"warped"
"filthy"
"pervy"
"twisted"
"sick"

Stephen Paterson is 43. His lover, Kristy is 27. They have been prosecuted because of their love.

Kirsty was born exactly 27 years ago today after a fling between Paterson and an Ayrshire crimper, who were both 16 at the time.

The teenage parents put the tot up for adoption, and she was raised by a Lanarkshire family.

But just over two years ago Kirsty tracked down her dad in Girvan, Ayrshire, where she also now lives. And within months she and her new-found father were meeting for SEX at her home.
Stephen Paterson was married, and it is a shame he was secretive in keeping this love from his wife, and a shame that she couldn't be more accepting. If she had been, then perhaps he wouldn't have been secretive. It was his wife who turned him in to authorities.

Notice that under law, not only can these lovers not marry, but they can actually be jailed and ordered to stay away from each other. Why is this anybody else's business? These people are our neighbors - productive members of society who pay their taxes. Why can't we leave them alone? Why does a news source attack them?

To prevent spam, comments will have to be approved, so your comment may not appear for several hours. Feedback is welcome, including disagreement. I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.

If you want to write to me privately, then either contact me on Facebook, email me at fullmarriageequality at protonmail dot com, or tell me in your comment that you do NOT want it published. Otherwise, anything you write here is fair game to be used in a subsequent entry. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine.

IT IS OK TO TALK ABOUT SEX IN YOUR COMMENTS, BUT PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY AS I WANT THIS BLOG TO BE AS "SAFE FOR WORK" AS POSSIBLE. If your comment includes graphic descriptions of activity involving minors, it's not going to get published.
