Haggard Now 'Completely Heterosexual'
right..................
(not that there's anything wrong with that)
If they ever identify a gay gene (or more likely, a pre-disposition based on several genes). Parents will probably "cure" it by aborting those fetuses.
I believe everyone can change, given incentive. However, in the case of child rapists, it is a vanishingly small probability. Oddly, the stats on recidivism are higher for those who abuse boys than girls.
So what you are saying is that oral or anal sex between opposite sex partners is just as abnormal as homosexuality?
I think we assume the 'wiring' is different between pedophilian and homosexuality because homosexuality requires consent and pedophilia does not. Often pedophiles are functional sexually with adults of opposite gender, but prefer to victimize children of the same gender even though they self identify as heterosexuals. The sexual fetish is not necessarily children, but having complete power over the situation and the victim. I suspect they would also be the types to victimize handicapped individuals.
You've articulated a pretty good argument there. I've really never seen it put so well.
Haggard is a moron.
