I know I'm asking a lot here, Andy, but I'm going to proceed from the assumption that you have the intestinal fortitude to talk to me, man to man.
It doesn't matter what kind of games you play with numbers or language. Homosexuals are responsible for a percentage of child molestations that is wildly out of whack with their population numbers. They comprise 2-3% - I repeat, 2-3% of the population, yet commit 25-40% of the offenses. Explain that, please.
Normally I wouldn't as I have you on ignore, however, I saw this comment quoted by NakedEmpreror, so I will respond directly.
#1: The stats you are quoting are a complete misrepresentation, and out of context to the actual number of crimes committed.
#2: The 1993 Janus Report, the first broad-scale scientific national survey on sexual behavior since Kinsey, concluded that 9% of males and 5% of females had had homosexual experiences more than just "occasionally."
Binson et al (1995) showed 5.3% of men reporting sexual activity with a same-gender partner since age 18. and 6.5% of men reporting sex with men during the previous five years. The highest prevalence was found* the 12 largest cities (14.4% since age 18) and among "highly educated" White males (10.8%).
Sells et al (1995) reported 6.2% of* males and 3.6% of* females with "sexual contact with someone of the same sex only or with both sexes in the previous five years," and 20.8% of U.S. males and 17.8% of U.S. females with some homosexual behavior or some homosexual attraction since age 15.*
Three separate studies, all showing substantially more than 2%. One showing that as many as 20% of males had some homosexual contact Since 15.
#3: The Boston Advocates for Human Rights conducted a study which illustrated that "the vast majority of child molestation - over 90% - is performed by heterosexual males. The man who is sexually interested in children is rarely homosexual."
The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, studied 269 sexual abused children examined during one year at Denver Children's Hospital. Investigation shows:
80% of girls were molested by a man who was or had been in a
heterosexual relationship with the child s mother or another
relative.
75% of boys were abused by males in
heterosexual relationships with female relatives.
Only 1 of 219 girls was molested by a lesbian; 1 out of 50 boys by a gay male.
I.e. 2%. TWO PERCENT. (this study was only of the Denver Children).
#4: This "commit 25%-40%" of the offenses is pure bull. Even the ardent gay bashers at AFA only claim 21%, and you know what that means:
79% of molesters are STRAIGHT by AFA's stats. But even they are overstating.
Now, instead of the crap that these intolerant groups bash around, let's look at some REAL peer review studies, like:
<i>
Carole Jenny, et al.,*Are Children at Risk for Sexual Abuse by Homosexuals?,*Pediatrics, Vol. 94, No. 1 (1994); see also David Newton,*Homosexual Behavior and Child Molestation: A Review of the Evidence,*Adolescence, Vol. XIII, No. 49 at 40 (1978) ("A review of the available research on pedophilia provides no basis for associating child molestation with homosexual behavior.")*</i>
Which found that a child was 100 times more likely to be abused by the
heterosexual partner of a relative.
The fact is, you're parroting lies and misrepresentations which are baseless froth from the mouths of intolerant hate groups. If you want to believe them, I suppose that's your prerogative. But you are believing and fostering a lie.
Kindest Regards,
