The age of consent in Washington DC is 16. Is it inappropriate to run around calling Foley a pedophile? Is this controversy partly because he's homosexual?

Deft: That applies to Delaware, not DC.

Of course it is because he's a homosexual. The Republican Party is so Anti-gay that attacking Foley clearly illustrates the hypocrisy of it all. The fact that the youths involved were under 18 merely makes the story more lewd. Considering the Republican tendancy towards prudery, it again high-lights their double standard.

It says it right on your link. the age of consent is 16 for people under the age of 30, foley is over 30 so yes he is guilty being a pedophile...

Foley's acts were still inappropriate. Pages and interns are off limits.
