Re Peter Tatchell - GG not quite accurate. Spanish "bestiality" legalisation, A bit of a beat up. Archived Message

Re the first two things that GG claimed, that the , Spanish parliament had legalised bestiality this last week and a video had emerged of Peter Tatchell discussing under-age sex and adult-child sexual activity (and I quote GG) a video emerges, in which he says, and I quote, sex with nine year olds need not necessarily be damaging, as long as the child consents and is not forced or manipulated in to the sexual activity with the adult.
This is the video ( I think it is the one referred to) , Peter Tatchell doesn't say exactly "and Ii quote" what GG says he did.
However, Peter Tatchell digs himself a big enough moral and possibly legal hole with what he did say in that interview.
This is a transcription of a 2020 interview when Peter Tatchell is queried about a rather large number of occurrences in his life when he seems to skirted rather close to being associated with paedophile views and paedophiles, which he strenuously denies and where he repeats his stated abhorrence of adult-child sexual activity in the interview.
The fact is in the old interview, he was defending a 9 year old's sexual activity with an adult on the basis that this boy, who was confessing the matter when he was a 50 year old man, because the man claimed that he was able to give consent at the age of nine, which totally contradicts Peter's views expressed in 2020 that a child under 16 cannot give that kind of consent. So Peter Tatchell does seem indeed to have tangled himself up in some puzzling moral and verbal contradictions in this matter .
I'll leave others to follow and make up their own minds. I think he'd have been wiser to publish nothing rather than the long transcript he uses to attempt to defend himself,
In regard to the Spanish government "legalising bestialiity", Here's a more nuanced take on the matter.
