We briefly discussed the accusations against Lou Beres, previous leader of the Oregon Christian Coalition and a long-time anti-gay activist, relating to inappropriate behavious with under-age girls. These allegations were confirmed here by his nephew, Rich Galat.
It now appears that Galat and other family members have had their charges verified. According to the Portland Mercury, Beres has admitted to police that he “had sexually touched his sister-in-law in the 1960s when she was a teen, and two friends of his daughters—one incident was in 1976 or ’77, according to the report, and the other was unspecified.”
We wish his victims and other family members all the best and hope that this revelation will help in the healing and full recovery from this man’s violations.

Sorry, just nitpicking.
Maybe what the deal with these anti gay crusaders isn’t so much that they have same sex feelings, but they are intensely obsessed with sex and want to be sexually controlling, period.
Over gay people to project their own evil, over young girls because it’s on their own minds 24/7 and girls are the easiest targets.
This man’s position puts him right up there with a pedophile priest.
He used his power in a faith community to have free and easy access.
I’m so very sick over so much abuse coming easily and often to our innocent children.
I still haven’t heard any criticism from our anti gay crusaders over the state of Kansas upholding the law that says twelve year olds can marry.
But, I’m sure you’re not surprised.
