No she does not fall for the trap. You have pretended to find her in the trap - a naive rush to judgment.

How is it a rush to judgement to find her saying this:

§ ~100%+ homosexual men (~2 million) victimize 6 to 8 million (17% to 24%) boys.[94]

When it is contradicted by a cite elsewhere in her study? It's a stupid action - to insinuate that all gays are pedophiles - and here's why. It's imperative that we call open the more rational members of the gay community (and there are many) to take the lead on busting the pedophiles in their midst. But you will never get anywhere with them if you, off the bat, call them all pedophiles. They'll just tell you to piss off. If we are gonna fix this problem, we need solid scholarship, not a process of throwing stuff at the wall until something sticks. And that, IMO, is exactly what this study is trying to do. And if I can find problems like this with a casual read, people looking to discredit the anti-gay movement will have a field day...

Strawmanstrawmanstrawmanstrawman. She specifically recognizes that not all gays are pedophiles.

dirt,

You're not as smart as you think you are. It is obvious that you have misread her remarks. Go back and read again. She says:

Hard data confirm international research and law enforcement reports—the roughly 2% homosexual population harbors a vast pederast boy abuse subculture. While statistically correct, since 100% of homosexual males do not sexually assault boys, a vast “gay” subset commits multiple, repeated child sex offenses. Much child sexual abuse goes unreported and some unsubstantiated. Hence, the following statistics are to be viewed with caution as reflecting the best available current data.
She makes it very clear that there is a very active subset of homos who are serial molesters.
