"root out homosexual tendencies in ALL Americans"? With, like, a test or something?

I tend to think Reisman, Cameron, Bryan, et al are counter-productive in preventing sexual abuse of children. The logic goes that since these molestations are same-sex, therefore the perpetrators are homosexual. The conclusion is that we need to keep homosexuals away from kids.

Before the recent scandal in the Church, how many people would think "priest" when someone says the word "homosexual"? How many people would suspect a man who is married and has his own biological children when they hear the word "homosexual"? Noone suspects (or suspected) those people -- "homosexual" means the queen prancing at the head of the Gay Pride parades.

I suspect that we have less to worry about from the queen than we do the priest or the married-man, if only because none would suspect them. One may hold his kid back from a camping-trip led by the queen, but who gives a second-thought to the man leading a trip that includes his own son?

Less effort should be spent demonizing homosexuals and more on actually protecting kids. Stuff such ensuring that NO adult is ever alone with a kid in personal moments such as sleeping, toileting, showering, etc. Ensuring kids know "good touch/bad touch". Ensuring kids know enough about sex that they aren't likely to be misled by a "trusted" non-family member.

I do not believe that people who identify as homosexual are the disproportionately large threat that these people are trying to make them out to be.

I must have forgotten to hit the Post button, because yesterday I replied to say that I agreed with what you'd said, Josh, and made several other remarks.

To reiterate: As Bryan has rightly pointed out that - contrary to the fanciful so-called statistics put out by Kinsey - only 1-2 percent of Americans are homosexual, parents should therefore insure that their teenaged boys are not left alone with ANY unaccompanied adult male, whether a known homosexual or not. Even married men commit sexual offenses with children or underage boys. Even priest are pedophiles. It is not just homosexual men who are the problem - at least not just men who are openly homosexual. And a sexual encounter with a man can damage a boy for the rest of his life, and not just if the perpetrator has AIDS.
