I feel confident when I say I believe that the overwhelming majority of homosexual men are not child molesters.

I am truly sorry to hear about you and your son.

He finally told me a couple of years ago and he is dealing with it well now, but he was always so angry with me, especially after his father and I divorced and he came to live with me. He would get angry for really no reason. Now I see why. Then I thought it was because of the divorce. I only wish we'd known. He never said a word about it and the young man wasn't one of the kids he hung out with in that family. I never saw them together. I was completely blindsided with that revelation. I'm OK now because people in church prayed with me and I was immediately delivered from the anger and the strong feelings of guilt I had about it, but without God I would be completely traumitized.

I agree. And I also don't think that a majority of heterosexual men molest female teens.

But I don't want heterosexual men taking teenage girls on camping trips any more than I'd want homosexual men taking teenage boys on camping trips.

The way I generally look at the "gay thing" in this context is how I would feel about the situation if the gay individual was instead a member of the opposite sex. Because in terms of sexuality, I think that analogy is pretty accurate.
