I heard a stupid radio host call a guy a bigot and hang up on him, because he just stated that half the lesbians he knew had been molested. Is it that hard to believe that a woman with a negative traumatic experience with male genitals early in life would become a lesbian? (I know other women who were molested who instead became very promiscuous heterosexuals.)
Okay, here we go...(ahem) (mi mi mi mi...)
DUH!!
This is pretty meaningless without a comparison group of sexually active heterosexual men.
This isn’t scientific or anything, but during my college years I worked in a restaurant in a mall. We had a plethora of gay guys working there because the manager was a homosexual.
Every gay guy I ever got to know while working there told me he had been molested.
I kid you not.
People like Bob Ellis purposefully conflate child molesters and homosexuals to unfairly stigmatize gays. A pedophile is attracted to children. Half of children are male, half are female. The reason why 30% or so of child molestation is ‘homosexual’ is because 50% of children (the object of pedophiles) are male. There is no evidence that those who have a homosexual orientation towards adults are more likely to molest children. Zero.
Instead of taking every instance of male-male molestation and blaming homosexuals, you can actually look at the data. It indicates that child molesters have either:
1) Always been exclusively attracted to children
2) Were involved in a relationship with an adult, then “regressed” to sexually abusing children. This happens a rate no higher in heterosexuals than in homosexuals. This is what experts in child molestation believe, and is what the data supports:

I'm sooo sorry

Does sexual trauma cause women to grow up to look like men? It's hard to believe anyone would molest a bull dyke, they are too scary, although I suppose anything’s possible.
Homosexuality is a mental illness folks, it has varying degrees and manifestations, but its a mental illness. The overwhelming majority of gay men I have met in my life have at least one of the 3 things in their background.
Sexually Abused or Molested, particularly at a young age.
Rediculously Overbearing mothers.
No or very poor relationships with their fathers.
Now, I am not saying that everyone who has had one or more of these things happen to them will end up gay, but there is no doubt that these events are insanely common in the background of gay men. Its an illness folks, not a lifestyle or a genetic defect. Homosexuality is a mental illness.. no one would remotely suggest a nymphomaniac was born a nymphomaniac, its a well known and accepted mental illness, yet homosexuality which has never had one study done disprove its a mental illness and in fact most show it is, is not in the DSM any longer for political reasons.
