DRUGS VICTIMIZE YOUTH

My sympathy goes out to Kerry Jackson, the mother who lost her son to 
crystal meth. Her pain is unparalleled.

I am offended, however, by the statement that her son Ryan's choice to 
perform oral sex on a man makes him a victim of the gay community.

He's a victim of crystal meth, not society. Would she have called him a 
victim of the heterosexual community if he had chosen to perform oral sex 
on a female?

I think not.
