All these people should be locked up for life.

However, this article is basically a vehicle for anti-homosexual propaganda masquerading as concern for sexual abuse victims. Nice example of using tragedy for political gain.

How is reporting the truth about homosexual child molesters propaganda???? In fact this is almost a puff piece since none of the statistics showing that homosexuals are much more likely to molest boys than heterosexual men are to molest girls are presented.

In fact, since most of the news media, "entertainment" industry (as though they were different) and gov't school including universtities are pushing homosexuality down peoples' throats literally and figuratively, I question your use of the words "anti-homosexual propaganda".

Political gain??? Since when is it "political" to jail sex offenders???? Perhaps it is non-political if they are all"stright" crimes, however, it turns political when the bright light shines on homos.

You will have a short life here.

Nice try. I suppose Bush rhetoric is masquerading for desire to take the oil fields of Iraq and perhaps all of the Middle East.

When crime is committed against the children under the guise of non-discrimination, you better believe I will bring attention to it, and I don't care if you homosexuals are offended by it or not. I will ALWAYS side for the protection of children against sexual predation. I WILL SHOUT IT FROM THE HOUSETOPS!!!

Ohhh!!!?

• Gay advocates correctly state that most child molesters are heterosexual males. But this is a misleading statement. In proportion to their numbers (about 1 out of 36 men), homosexual males are more likely to engage in sex with minors: in fact, they appear to be three times more likely than straight men to engage in adult-child sexual relations Freund, K. and R. I. Watson, The Proportions of Heterosexual and Homo sexual Pedophiles Among Sex Offenders Against Children: An Exploratory Study, Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy 18 (Spring 1992): 3443.
• While no more than 2% of male adults are homosexual, some studies indicate that approximately 35% of pedophiles are homosexual. K. Freund et al., Pedophilia and Heterosexuality vs. Homosexuality, Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy 10 (Fall 1984): 197.
• Homosexual pedophiles victimize far more children than do heterosexual pedophiles Freund, K. and R. I. Watson, The Proportions of Heterosexual and Homosexual Pedophiles Among Sex Offenders Against Children: An Exploratory Study, Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy 18 (Spring 1992): 3443.
• It is estimated that approximately 80% of pedophilic victims are boys who have been molested by adult males Schmidt, Thomas (1995). Straight and Narrow? Compassion and Clarity in the Homosexuality Debate. Downers Grove, Ill.: Intervarsity Press, p. 114.
• Kurt Freund, et al., "Pedophilia and Heterosexuality vs. Homosexuality," Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy 10 (1984): 197. "The proportional prevalence of offenders against male children in this group of 457 offenders against children was 36 percent." See also, Kurt Freund, et al., "Heterosexuality, Homosexuality, and Erotic Age Preference," "Approximately one-third of these individuals had victimized boys and two-thirds had victimized girls. This finding is consistent with the proportions reported in two earlier studies," p. 107.

Oh, puhleeze. Matthew Shepard is the ultimate example of "using tragedy for political gain."

Shepard was and is the posthumous poster boy for hate crime enhancement legislation, and is referenced constantly in campaigns for so-called gay-straight alliances in high-schools -- despite the fact the number of actual physical acts of violence against homosexual youths have declined over the years.

Don't believe me? Check out any newspaper piece on the latest stats regarding anti-gay attacks. Then, subtract the "incidents" of non-physical name-calling. You will come up with a reduced number that doubtless will NOT be the headline for the story.
