Except they don't...heterosexual male family members do.
Based on what? Do you know what the term "rate" means? Or are you just saying 98% commit more nominal incidents than 2% so you're fine?
I'm not arguing a side on this one, it just seems you're arguing the latter sans support
I'm basing my claim on facts...unlike St Mike who based his (which you did not challenge) claim on homophobia.
Facts About Homosexuality and Child Molestation
10 Anti-Gay Myths Debunked Southern Poverty Law Center
I read until I got bored, then I kept reading a while after that and still it hadn't addressed the question.
1) The question is
not, are there more gay or straight molesters? Gays are 2% of the population according to CDC researching your disease, just counting is stupid. Obviously there are more straight molesters by straight count, but it's ridiculous to do that since there are 49 times more straights than gays.
2) The question is
not, are most gays child molesters? Obviously most are not
The question
is are child molestation
rates among gays higher than straights? I have no idea, and no one seems to have any data for that in this conversation
This is the sleight of hand the homo Left continues to attempt. It seems they're fully understanding of statistics compared to the general population
LOL......speaking of sleight of hand- calling what the FRC does to facts 'slight of hand' would be an insult to slight of hand.
I have been through these discussion often enough.
Inevitably it goes like this- homophobes like yourself claim that homosexuals are only 2% of the population and are responsible for X amount of child molestation.
That 2% is a figure gotten from surveys asking people whether they are gay or not- so 2% of the people who respond to surveys asking what their sexual preference is says that they are gay.
However, child sexual molesters- even when they molest boys- do not self identify as gay.
Jerry Sandusky is a prime example- he has never identified as gay- instead he was a husband and father- all the time while he was raping boys.
Jerry Sandusky would never have self reported himself as part of that 2%.
Most child molesters are openly heterosexuals- and family members- regardless of the gender that they molest
Are Children at Risk for Sexual Abuse by Homosexuals
Patients. Patients were 352 children (276 girls and 76 boys) referred to a subspecialty clinic for the evaluation of suspected child sexual abuse. Mean age was 6.1 years (range, 7 months to 17 years).
Data collected. Charts were reviewed to determine the relationships of the children to the alleged offender, the sex of the offender, and whether or not the alleged offender was reported to be gay, lesbian, or bisexual.
Results. Abuse was ruled out in 35 cases. Seventy-four children were allegedly abused by other children and teenagers less than 18 years old. In 9 cases, an offender could not be identified. In the remaining 269 cases, two offenders were identified as being gay or lesbian. In 82% of cases (222/269), the alleged offender was a heterosexual partner of a close relative of the child. Using the data from our study, the 95% confidence limits, of the risk children would identify recognizably homosexual adults as the potential abuser, are from 0% to 3.1%. These limits are within current estimates of the prevalence of homosexuality in the general community.
Conclusions. The children in the group studied were unlikely to have been molested by identifiably gay or lesbian people.
