There are studies (like anyone should need one) that show homosexuals molest more (look what the homosexual priests did - media called them "pedophiles" but they were pederast homosexuals abusing teen boys) :
The proportions of heterosexual and homosexual pedophiles among sex offenders against children...
The terms "homosexual" and "paedophile" are not synonyms. I have never seen the term "homosexual pedophile", did you invent that all by yourself? The reason I ask is that, given the intellectual capacity you have demonstrated in your post, I find it hard to imagine you being able to perform the simplest task without the intervention of a third party. Did you extract this term from one of those highly illuminating "scientific" studies with which you occupy your spare time?
The explanation as to why homosexual adoption may represent a "brainscrew" for kids has less to do with homosexuals and more to do with the fact that many people share your backward and bigotted thinking, or rather lack thereof.
Villfying homosexuals to this extent demonstrates that you have an unhealthy preoccupation with the sexual practices of other consenting adults. Why would that be, Barry?
When I was about 7 years old a older gay teen tried to convince me to have sex with him and later tried to, um, forcibly coerce me.... no joke, no bullshit. Nothing serious ended up happening to me so no biggie... for me at least. Now the guy obviously had issues and i really have no ill will towards the guy i feel sorry for him, in a way.
But I'm the rare case... more often than not someone in my situation (back then) gets abused.... like this dude's poor adopted kids.
And yeah the stats are that homosexuals/bisexuals sexually abuse boys a lot more than hetero's do... duh.
But on the flip side (I'm guessing here) adopted girls are probably safer with a lesbian couple than with a hetero-couple wrt abuse and whatnot.
He was not gay, he was a paedophile.
Gay= consenting adult
Paedophile = someone who is sexually attracted to children, of the same sex or otherwise.
I assume that you are heterosexual. Are you attracted to young girls? See how it works?
I refuse to try to attempt to educate you people any further.
If you gave a shit about the children who are being molested, you would stop trying to identify homosexuality with child molestation, which shows a total lack of respect for both homosexuals and the victims of abuse.
He was gay... he told me that much himself and was known to have relationships with other gay teens, as it turns out.
Did the fact that he tried to molest a child anything to do with his sexual preference... no? That he tried to molest me had a lot to do with his sexual preference. Homosexual men have a higher probability of molesting boys... sorry. Just like heterosexual men probably have a higher chance of molesting girls (i'm guessing on this part but it makes since).
And yes... please stop trying to 'educate' me. I'll take my personal experience over your armchair opinions and ideas of the facts any day of week. I have many homosexual friends (and some family as well)... i don't care at all about their sexual preference... it does not bother me in the least.
Your statement in bold is complete drivel.... as if you could shame me with such as pathetically illogical statement. Do you even know anyone who has been abused? I do... i know several people (kids and otherwise)... because I came rather close to be abused myself i have made an effort to help out with abused kids from time to time, i have adult friends who were abused as kids... i fucking care about this big time (why else would share such sensitive personal information about myself? earth to red irish!!).
I have personally not equated homosexuality to child molestation nor would i ever... that's crazy. But the concept of potential risk in placing foster care boys with gay male couples needs to be taken in to consideration, okay? It is untruth to neglect the fact that, pyschologically, the desire to molest boys is decidely on homosexual side of the spectrum. Do all homosexual males have these tendencies? Hell no... it is less than a minutia of a percent, I'm sure. It is true that some men are homosexual due, in part, to sexual abuse when they were young... and many sexual abusers were themselves abused as children. You see the link? It is probabilistically factual that a homosexual male foster parent is relatively more likely to abuse a boy than a hetero male foster parent.
Those are the facts... I have discussed these sort of things with social workers I have met or am acquainted with.
And as to being disrespectful to gays... well, look... it is what it is but it is certainly not my intent. 'homosexual' is a broad label and a huge demographic.... just like American. There are total asshole americans and absolute saint americans... the same goes for the label 'homosexual'... it is huge umbrella that encompasses the good and the bad.
