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:

*The more you know*
None of it is heterosexual.
This report involves only people who have been convicted of assault against children. Maybe the data is different for comparably situatws people who have not yet been caught and convicted. BTW, it also involved a male population ~ no females in this at all.
Those aren’t the statistics cited in the article. The study started with a pool of gay men and determined how many were molested as children. You are quoting the pool of molested children and looking at the source of the molestation. As other posters have pointed out, the resultant sexual behaviour of molested children can run to both extremes....

“The reason why 30% or so of child molestation is homosexual is because 50% of children (the object of pedophiles) are male.”
What gibberish...
First of all the 30% number is most ;likely politically corrected and dumbed down to only reflect orientation of perpetrator rather that actual sexual activity -regardless, even given acceptaing the 30% number...
The object of homosexual perverts are same sex children -capiche? You attempt to confuse the issue into one of orientation rather than sexual activity. Plain and simple -homosexual sex is homosexual sex -that is the ONLY thing that differentiates heterosexual from homosexual -PERIOD...
Now if one considers the FACT that homosexuals are a small percentage of the population (less that 10% easily) then one one considers that <10% of the population commits 30% of the abuse one can easily see that something wierd is going on with the homosexuals and it would be prudent to keep children away...
The more you KNOW the better to cure your delusions and prevent random nonsensical postings like the one I address...
