There is hypocrisy around prostitution. But there’s another group that gets rapped everyday, and its never reported in the news: prisoners.
If you go online, you can hear horrific testimony of ex-prisoners explaining the predatory, rape culture in US prisons. Even I didn’t know it was so bad.
In our country, we give 20 year-olds thirty years for selling a little coke. In other countries it would be a citation. So from these inhumane sentences, homosexuality thrives.
