A very positive sign. The left has to explain that they don't molest children. As losing a proposition as answering, "When did you stop beating your wife?"

How is this statement:
"The gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community will not stand idly by while foot soldiers for religious fanatics wrap their tool of discrimination in the guise of scientific inquiry."
The mind boggles. What a load of mixed metaphors! Especially that tool of the foot soldiers which is going to be wrapped ...

"Statistics show that homosexual men, who represent less than 3 percent of the adult male population, commit a disproportionate number (one-third or more) of the cases of child sexual molestation."Normal people don't abuse children. NABMLA members are all homosexual perverts that think it normal to abuse young boys. I rest my case.

In the first place, Kurt Freund's conclusion is not backed up by his evidence. He may have claimed that homosexuals molest no more than heterosexuals in order to save his funding and peace of mind in politically correct Canada.
In the second place, Dr. Cameron's work is far from discredited and he quite the American Psychological Association for what were prescient reasons. His research on homosexuals closely dovetails with the University of Chicago's research on the perverts.

"The accepted figure is 10 per cent."
Yeah. Ten out of a hundred people are hanging out in bathhouses or want to. Yeah.

- 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.

The FRC merely has presented statistics which I have no reason to doubt.
This is no reason for the division into
the "all gays are saints and must be exulted as a group (GLSEN position)", and
the "all gays are sinners and must be punished as a group" camps.
Why not just punish those that break the law and leave it at that ?
In that way, more gays would be jailed for sex offences than their proportion in the population and those that choose to lead otherwise legal lives would be able to do so. I figure that should make most people happy.

The FRC justifies its research claiming that gays and lesbians comprise between 1 and 3 percent of the population. The accepted figure is 10 per cent. Accepted by who?????? What a bunch of hoooey. They throw out outlandish numbers and just claim they are "the accepted figure".

I have great respect for the Family Research Council.

File this under "Duh!"
I remember not to long ago there was a FReeper named "Alexander the Great" who was going on about how we should lower the age of consent to 15... And he was supposedly a 'reasonable' log-cabin type.

it "methodologically unsound, totally lacking in credibility, and a blatant attempt to put forward a homophobic agenda in the name of research."This is the autorespond.They heve stacks of these on every desk, ready to disseminate in response to any sort of not totally favorable public notice. It is otion "3" on the telephone.

I had believed that the 10% figure had actually been throughly refuted and that the "accepted" figure was between 1-3%, with 3% being considered generous.
