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:

Bob Ellis didn't focus on this fact, though he did cite research that showed as much.

Judith Reisman, president of the Institute for Media Education, cites this research, as does a study by Dr. Gene Abel, director of the Behavioral Medicine Institute in Atlanta, which found that homosexuals sexually molest young boys with an incidence five times greater than the molestation rate of girls. Dr. Able’s study also found that 150 boys are molested by one male homosexual offender, compared to 19.8 girls by heterosexual offenders.

The point of this piece seems to be that homosexuals have disprortionately been victims of childhood sexual trauma/molestation--not that they disprortionately commit such acts.

Male on male sexual activity is, as it turns out, exclusively homosexual behavior.

None of it is heterosexual.

I hope you caught the lead in whih said" "A random sample of 175 males convicted of sexual assault against children..."

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...
