Unintentionally, he brings disparagement on the gay male community:
Whether he knows it or not, Michael Jackson has become an effigy. More than any other figure in popular culture, he represents the negative stereotype of the homosexual male. He is effeminate, quirky, secretive, artificial, and artistic. His best friends are women. He leads a double life, one public, one private, and by all accounts they are radically different. He had a childhood full of abuse. Most disturbingly of all, he is considered a threat to adolescent boys.
The effigy could scarcely be more perfect, because this is what middle America thinks of gay men, too. Like Michael Jackson, the stereotypical gay male is scarred for life, physically, socially, spiritually. Unless we do something to stop him, he will pass his abuse on to others. [emphasis added]

if this is his role.. will that change since his lawyers are saying he will not have little boys sleeping in his bed anymore?
If he has a lick of sense in his head, then he won't go within a mile of a child again and will never allow one to set foot insider Neverland for the rest of his life.
But we know that that's not going to happen. There will be too many mothers offering their children up for molestation (and subsequent payouts) for Jackson to resist the temptation.
