Just because someone is a homosexual does not mean that they molest children that bird don't fly. Molestors come in all shapes and sizes and sexual orientation has absolutely nothing to do with it.

The article does not state that ALL homosexuals are pedophiles, it says "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".

Put another way, a much higher percentage of the homosexual community (by an order of magnitude) are pedophiles. There are two kinds of male pedophiles: the ones who are attracted to young girls, and the ones who are attracted to young boys. A male who is attracted primarily to other males (of whatever age) is a homosexual, by definition

I'll probably get shot for this but:

"Other researchers have taken different approaches, but have similarly failed to find a connection between homosexuality and child molestation. Dr. Carole Jenny reviewed 352 medical charts, representing all of the sexually abused children seen in the emergency room or child abuse clinic of a Denver children's hospital during a one-year period (from July 1, 1991 to June 30, 1992). The molester was a gay or lesbian adult in only 2 of the 269 cases in which an adult molester could be identified – fewer than 1% (Jenny et al., 1994)."


My point (I think) is that the article itself is flawed. I agree with a previous poster that this is not a well researched piece. There is no valid data to rely on yet there is data (albeit small) that goes the other way.


Really funny thing is I never thought I would be defending the other side but its a big tent.
So lets all talk about the superbowl
