It never fails in the 15 years I've perused these threads online, when gays defend their "right" to marriage and especially their "right" to get their hands on little kids, that never, not once in all that time and in thousands of posts, has anyone ever voiced their concern for the welfare of the children in question, for their right not to become victims of predatory animals. What does that tell you?
This issue isn't about the welfare of children, that's why. It'd be like saying that no one has ever brought up the issue of watching TV because hey, a gay couple might try and buy a TV if they can get married.
I bet in the whole time you've been on this topic you've never heard about a straight couple "getting their hands on little kids", have you?
There's a BIG BIG difference between gay and pedophile, you know? Which is probably why no one who is open minded enough to accept gay people for who they are is going to go so far down the levels to actually equate gay and pedophile.
Some gay people are pedophiles.
What is interesting is this:
Pedophile and Child Molester Statistics - Yello Dyno
" Nearly all the offenders in sexual assaults reported to law enforcement were male (96%)."
"Males are reported to be the abusers in 80-95% of cases"
Which means you think that men should not be able to have children, right? I mean this is the logic you're using.
"About 60% of the male survivors sampled report at least one of their perpetrators to be female."
Most abuse by men is against girls. Hardly the domain of gay people.
"Violent child victimizers were substantially more likely than those with adult victims to have been physically or sexually abused when they were children.."
Some people really should be looked at seriously before they adopt. But it's not that they're gay, it's that they've been through certain experiences.
Facts About Homosexuality and Child Molestation
"Members of disliked minority groups are often stereotyped as representing a danger to the majority's most vulnerable members. For example, Jews in the Middle Ages were accused of murdering Christian babies in ritual sacrifices. Black men in the United States were often lynched after being falsely accused of raping White women."
This is exactly what you're doing. In the middle ages you'd have harped on about Jews, 100 years ago you'd have harped on about black people. Feel proud? I mean, people used the bible to show how stupid black people were......
"In recent years, antigay activists have routinely asserted that gay people are child molesters."
"The number of Americans who believe the myth that gay people are child molesters has declined substantially. In a 1970 national survey, more than 70% of respondents agreed with the assertions that "Homosexuals are dangerous as teachers or youth leaders because they try to get sexually involved with children" or that "Homosexuals try to play sexually with children if they cannot get an adult partner."
"By contrast, in a
1999 national poll, the belief that most gay men are likely to molest or abuse children was endorsed by only 19% of heterosexual men and 10% of heterosexual women. Even fewer – 9% of men and 6% of women – regarded most lesbians as child molesters."
Things have changed, you are part of the 15% of people who don't believe. You're a minority seeking the infringement of rights for minorities, woohoo.
"Consistent with these findings,
Gallup polls have found that an increasing number of Americans would allow gay people to be elementary school teachers. For example, the proportion was 54% in 2005, compared to 27% in 1977. "
"For the present discussion, the important point is that many child molesters cannot be meaningfully described as homosexuals, heterosexuals, or bisexuals (in the usual sense of those terms) because they are not really capable of a relationship with an adult man or woman. "
So, in fact, people in gay relationships are MUCH LESS LIKELY to be child abusers than single men.
There's nothing to suggest gay men like abusing children. There is something to suggest that child abusers like abusing children, surprisingly.
