It sometimes seems inconceivable that the “progressive” left would openly endorse paedophilia. After all, no matter what our ideological difference, it’s foolish and bigoted to smear one’s political opponents as not just wrong but actually malevolent. And yet, it’s becoming more and more undeniable that a large slice of the mainstream left is being nudged toward endorsing paedophilia.
Not because they are evil, but because they are so very, very gullible.
Consider the favoured slogan of the gay marriage campaign: “love is love”. Whatever one may think of gay marriage, that is an appallingly dangerous slogan. If all “love” is equal, where do we draw the line?
One “love is love” sloganeer knows.
Michael Cline is the owner of Hot Cup on Stratton Street. The West Virginia State Police say they searched the location in January 2023 in relation to a sexual assault and child pornography investigation.
47-year-old Cline was booked in the Southwestern Regional Jail at around 8:30 pm on Thursday.
According to the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Cline is being charged with Possession of Material Depicting Minors Engaged in Sexually Explicit Conduct, Sexual Assault in the First Degree and Sexual Assault in the Second Degree.
His alleged crimes date back to March of 2001 and involve three victims.

Clearly, Cline believes wholeheartedly that “love is love” – because he openly said so.
An image of the shop reveals the storefront decked with progressive imagery, including LGBT ‘pride’ flags and the phrase “Love is love”, commonly linked to the gay rights movement.
Of course I’m not saying that every gullible loon who wittered that “love is love” is actively endorsing paedophilia – but if they really believed their slogan, they can’t reject it. The problem is that the rainbow left have opened their minds so far that their brains have fallen out along with their morals.
Again, if you don’t believe me, consider the Wi Spa case. In that incident, a male exposed his erect penis to little girls at a women-only spa. The man was a convicted sex offender. But he was, he said, “transgender”. So the left vociferously, even violently, defended his actions. Not the fringe left, but the mainstream. Prominent feminist media personality Anita Sarkeesian defended the biological male deliberately exposing and fondling himself in front of little girls, because “I will always and forever and forever stand with trans women and all trans people to live fully realised, respected and safe lives.”
Even if that includes molesting children.
Should we be surprised that paedophiles are taking the green light of the rainbow and running with it?
That victim told West Virginia state police he had sexually assaulted her in a mall restroom when she was 11 years old, according to WCHS-TV.
Another girl’s criminal complaint resulted in charges of second-degree sexual assault and possession of child pornography.
According to WCHS, police said Cline received about 100 nude photos of her through Facebook Instant Messenger from 2015 to 2016, when she was a minor.
“The complaint also said the alleged victim reported she had four years of violent sexual encounters with Cline, including instances when he allegedly punched her in the face, slammed her head against the wall and would mentally control her by only allowing her to eat grapes, beef jerky and drink water,” the outlet reported.
A third victim’s account led to a charge of solicitation of obscene material from a minor, MetroNews reported.

But, hey, at least he ran a ‘safe space’ for the alphabet people.
