Colorado Springs legislator labels unmarried teen parents 'sluts'

 

COLORADO SPRINGS — A state lawmaker used a derogatory term Wednesday to describe unmarried teen parents as sexually promiscuous and complained that society condones premarital sex.

“In my parents’ day and age, (unmarried teen parents) were sent away, they were shunned, they were called what they are,” Colorado Springs Republican Rep. Larry Liston said during a GOP legislative caucus meeting in Denver. “There was at least a sense of shame.

“There’s no sense of shame today," Liston continued, according to the The Gazette of Colorado Springs. "Society condones it. ... I think it’s wrong. They’re sluts. And I don’t mean just the women. I mean the men, too.”

 

I’m willing to bet that this clown in a legislator’s suit was all hormones and paws when he was 16! Teen age sex isn’t anything new, and to go as far as name calling, this guy is a whole bunch shy of being honest. He needs to be called out on the carpet and be made to openly apologize to everyone for his self righteous behavior.

I am in no way condoning sexual activity by unmarried anybody but I will not go as far as name calling those who do participate in this kind of activity. That would be plain hypocritical.

"Society condones it. ... I think it’s wrong. They’re sluts. And I don’t mean just the women. I mean the men, too.”

Well it’s like this “Larry”, I don’t necessarily agree with your statement that society condones this type of behavior, as much as it does very little to dissuade it. AND I think that the promotion of it lies more in the hands of advertising than that of society.

Sluts?!? Strong words from a narrow minded Representative. You are talking about individuals who at that age still haven’t figured out the consequences of this behavior. They are running full tilt on hormones that they don’t understand. Shoot I know some adults who still haven’t figured that part out. That doesn’t make those kids “sluts” as you are so quick to point out; it makes them human. Tell you what, when you have spent some quiet time by yourself and reflected back to when you were 16 and can prove beyond any doubt that you NEVER pawed, kissed or snuggled with a gal when you were 16 then you can come out and make statements like that. Otherwise Shut up. You do not have the experience, or authority to be making judgment calls like this, YOU OUGHT TO KEEP YOUR YAP SHUT.
