3Alfred Kinsey, and "The Family Research Council".............arguing in another thread about this I ran across a link showing that the percentage of gay pedophiles to gays was higher than the percentage of hetero pedophiles to hetero's.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
Family Research CouncilSignificant numbers of victims are males: Up to one-third of all sex crimes against children are committed against boys (as opposed to girls).
The 10 percent fallacy: Studies indicate that, contrary to the inaccurate but widely accepted claims of sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, homosexuals comprise between 1 to 3 percent of the population.
Homosexuals are overrepresented in child sex offenses: Individuals from the 1 to 3 percent of the population that is sexually attracted to the same sex are committing up to one-third of the sex crimes against children.
MALE HOMOSEXUALS COMMIT A DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBER OF CHILD SEX ABUSE CASES
Homosexual apologists admit that some homosexuals sexually molest children, but they deny that homosexuals are more likely to commit such offenses. After all, they argue, the majority of child molestation cases are heterosexual in nature. While this is correct in terms of absolute numbers, this argument ignores the fact that homosexuals comprise only a very small percentage of the population.
The evidence indicates that homosexual men molest boys at rates grossly disproportionate to the rates at which heterosexual men molest girls. To demonstrate this it is necessary to connect several statistics related to the problem of child sex abuse: 1) men are almost always the perpetrator; 2) up to one-third or more of child sex abuse cases are committed against boys; 3) less than three percent of the population are homosexuals. Thus, a tiny percentage of the population (homosexual men), commit one-third or more of the cases of child sexual molestation.
Uhhh boyeeeee
These arguments always develop the same way.
Statistics offered from both horribly biased sides of this argument.
Then the ceremonial discrediting of the experts.
But I just wish for a refreshing change...that people who oppose gay marriage would admit they subscribe to any one, or more, of the ONLY 3 reasons anyone ever opposes gay marriage, or being gay...which are as follows:
1. They oppose it because their side (righties) opposes it.
2. God says it's wrong
3. The thought of gay men kissing makes them fell icky.
