Study shows link between homosexuality and pedophilia

A new study by Dr. Timothy J. Dailey and the Washington D.C.-based Family Research Council recently confirmed what police and psychiatrists have known for decades: a definitive link exists between male homosexuality and pedophilia.

The report entitled Homosexuality and Child Sexual Abuse, shows that while homosexual men make up less than three per cent of the adult male population, they commit a disproportionate number (one third or more) of child sexual molestations. Dailey's report is being sent to parents, youth groups, school administrators, Catholic bishops, and religious organizations.

Homosexuality and Child Sexual Abuse presents a number of controversial findings. The first is that a significant percentage of child sexual abuse victims are boys. The second finding of Dailey's report contradicts the "inaccurate but widely accepted claims of sex researcher Alfred Kinsey" that homosexuals comprise at least 10 per cent of the population. Based upon a study of three large data sets, the General Social Survey, the National Health and Social Life Survey, and the U.S. Census, "a recent study in demography estimates the number of exclusive male homosexuals in the general population at 2.5 per cent, and the number of exclusive lesbians at 1.4 per cent," writes Dailey.

The FRC study also demonstrates, with a wealth of anecdotal evidence, that pedophile themes can be found throughout "mainstream" gay literature, including fiction anthologies such as: The Penguin Book on International Gay Writing, The Gay Canon: What Every Gay Man Should Read, and A History of Gay Literature:The Male Tradition. Interestingly, the late gay Beat poet Allen Ginsberg was a pedophile, and wrote articles for publications associated with the North American Man-Boy Love Association. "I reread Collected Poems and Ginsberg's two subsequent collections, surprised by the pattern of reference to anal intercourse and to pederasty that emerged," writes Dailey.

According to Homosexuality and Child Sexual Abuse, pedophiles have long existed as a subculture within the gay rights movement. Dailey quotes David Thorstad, a homosexual activist and founding member of NAMBLA, to demonstrate that by 1985, pedophilia had gained acceptance within the homosexual movement, as it was in that year that NAMBLA was admitted as a member in New York's council of Lesbian and Gay Organizations and the International Gay Association. In the words of Jim Kepner, at one time the curator of the International Gay and Lesbian Archives in Los Angeles: "A point I've been trying to make is that if we reject the boylovers in our midst today, we'd better stop waving the banner of the ancient Greeks, of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Oscar Wilde, Walt Whitman, Horatio Alger, and Shakespeare. We'd better stop claiming them as part of our history unless we are broadening our concept of what it means to be gay."

The link between homosexuality and pedophilia is rejected by many mainstream research groups, which have even begun to view pedophilia in value-neutral terms. The American Psychiatric Association removed pedophilia from its list of sexual perversions in 1994, while in 1999 the American Psychological Association published a report, "A Meta-Analytic Examination of Assumed Properties of Child Sexual Abuse Using College Samples," which "claimed child sexual abuse could be harmless and beneficial," according to a 1999 WorldNetDaily column by noted researcher Dr. Judith Reisman.

"None of this is news in the sense that this information (the link between pedophilia and homosexuality) was fundamentally proven a long time ago," Canada Family Action head Brian Rushfeldt told The Interim, "but I'm glad to see the FRC reiterating it, especially at a time when the Catholic church is struggling with the pedophile priest issue."

Rushfeldt stresses that pedophiles come in both homosexual and heterosexual forms, but there are differences between the two that need to be understood. "Do you treat the cocaine addict the same way you treat the alcoholic? If a priest abuses young boys, that's a homosexual act, and we have to recognize it as such if we want to help him."

Asked why the link exists in the first place, Rushfeldt, a former addiction counsellor, says part of the answer lies in the availability of sex. "Sex addicts generally need instant gratification. They have a very low threshold for delaying gratification, and it's much easier to manipulate a young boy into having sex than it is to manipulate another man." He adds that homosexual pedophilia is influenced by other factors as well.

"There's a distinct quality about male homosexuality that gay men tend to be attracted to young, good-looking guys. Another part of pedophilia's appeal is the power the pedophile feels in manipulating the boy. It's a combination of things."

I don't know how you gleaned from what I said that I somehow think children are complicit in acts of molestation against them.

The study makes sense to me in saying that homosexual men molest children at a higher rate than heterosexual men. They even have an association for it--NAMBLA.

There are supposedly fewer homosexual priests than heterosexual priests and yet the scandal is abuse of boys by homosexual priests. If heterosexual priests were abusing girls at the same rate, there would be an even bigger scandal.

Why is it that a larger percentage of heterosexual priests are able to abstain from sexual conduct, as their vows demand, than are homosexual priests?

Thanks. I was reading this thread as you pinged me. This is yet another article many folks will want to ignore because they know homosexuals that aren't pedophiles. Nobody is saying all homosexuals are pedophiles, but there is indeed a link:
Child Molestation and Homosexuality
Homosexual Rape and Murder of Children
Homosexuality and Child Sexual Abuse
Homosexuality and child molestation: the link, the likelihood, the lasting effects.

Wait a minute, I don't get this.

The American Psychiatric Association removed pedophilia from its list of sexual perversions in 1994

It was debated in a recent convention but as far as I know it's still in the DSM IV 302.2. What's up with this, has the FRC lost their minds?

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

An article that ties a lot of loose ends up. Yes, it is indeed true, as those of us who study the subject have known for a long time.

Homosexuality and the attraction for young boys are part of the same problem. Homosexuals themsevles all know this. Their denial is only politics; meanwhile, the homosexuals activists and their assistants in several professions and in academia quitely publish papers and books softening the line between pedophilia and sickness, pedophilia and crime.

This article and/or the report it's based on* should be copied and distributed very, very widely.

Let me and DirtyHarryY2K know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

*I hope the report itself shows up on FR...

Additional Note: If anyone still doubts that homosexuals are indeed after OUR children, please read this article.

So who would you like to listen to? "Gay" activists?

Guess what - Tammy Bruce says the same thing, and she's a lesbian.

(I know I'm late to this thread but) you are right. A much larger percentage of homosexuals, both male and female, have been molested and/or seduced when very young. This is indisubutable fact.

It's okay, I've learned to avert my eyes very quickly so as to avoid permanent mental imprint.

Can't imagine a sicker freak than him.

Why did these parents let their kids get close to him in the first place? My kids would think it was Halloween and be frightened to see him.
