One more attempt here among the homophobic to lie about who it is who is actually sexually abusing children....

The answer is that it is MALES and that they are heterosexual males who are 100X MORE likely to sexually abuse a child than a homosexual male would be.

In order to protect young children from pedophiles and those who are attracted to 11 to 14 year olds, the public has to understand that our sexual abusers of children are MALES -- and that they are heterosexual males.

Heterosexual males are 100X more likely to sexually abuse a child than a homosexual male.

A 1998 Study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 90% of pedophiles are men, and 95% of these individuals are heterosexual

Research has indicated that gay men and lesbians are less likely than heterosexual to sexually abuse children

Perhaps the most egregious and damaging claim promulgated by anti-gay groups is the claim that homosexuality is intrinsically linked to pedophilia and child sexual abuse.

The social science research on sexual orientation and child sexual abuse clearly disproves the claim that homosexuals are more likely to molest children. A 1998 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 90% of pedophiles are men, and 95% of these individuals are heterosexual. One researcher explained this statistic by noting, "Gay men desire consensual sexual relations with other adult men. Pedophiles are usually adult men who are sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children. They are rarely sexually attracted to other adults. In fact, research has indicated that gay men and lesbians are LESS likely than heterosexuals to sexually abuse children. Two studies that examined the sexual orientation of convicted child molesters found that less than 1% in one study and 0% in the other were lesbian or gay. One psychologist reviewed the existing social science literature on the relationship between sexuality and child sexual abuse and found that "a gay man is no more likely than a straight man to perpetrate sexual activity with children." Further, "cases of perpetration of sexual behavior with a pre-pubescent child by an adult lesbian are virtually nonexistent."

See: Focus on the Facts" -- Sean Cahill, PH.D, 2004 Also : The right-wing "Family Research Council" notes/confirms findings that "almost all child sexual abuse is committed by men."

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.

Men Account for Almost All Sexual Abuse of Children Cases · An essay on adult sex offenders in the book Sexual Offending Against Children reported:”It is widely believed that the vast majority of sexual abuse is perpetrated by males and that female sex offenders only account for a tiny proportion of offences. Indeed, with 3,000 adult male sex offenders in prison in England and Wales at any one time, the corresponding figure for female sex offenders is 12!”

· Kee MacFarlane, et al., writing in Sexual Abuse of Young Children: Evaluation and Treatment report:”The large majority of sexual perpetrators appear to be males (Herman and Hirschman, 1981; Lindholm and Willey, 1983).”

· A report by the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children states: “In both clinical and non-clinical samples, the vast majority of offenders are male.”

· A study in the Journal of Sex Research states that “pedophilia does not exist, or is extremely rare, in women.”

A Significant Percentage of Child Sexual Abuse Victims are Boys · According to the Journal of Child Psychiatry: “It was commonly believed fifteen years ago that girls were abused in excess of boys in a ratio of about 9 to 1, but contemporary studies now indicate that the ratio of girls to boys abused has narrowed remarkably. . . . The majority of community studies suggest a . . . ratio . . . in the order of 2 to 4 girls to 1 boy.” Another study found that “some authors now believe that boys may be sexually abused as commonly as girls (Groth, 1978; O’Brien, 1980).”

· A study of 457 male sex offenders against children in Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy found that “approximately one-third of these sexual offenders directed their sexual activity against males.”

Sexual Abuse of Boys is Underreported The actual percentage of child sexual abuse victims who are boys very likely exceeds the above estimates. Many researchers echo the view of the Journal of Child Psychiatry study, which refers to the “under-reporting of the incidence and prevalence of sexual abuse in boys.”

· Dr. Robert Johnson, in Medical Aspects of Human Sexuality, reports: “The vast majority of cases of male sexual molestation is not reported. As a result, these young men keep both the incidents and their feelings to themselves.”

· The Department of Justice report on child sexual exploitation explains why the percentage of boy victims is underestimated: “Adolescent boy victims are highly likely to deny certain types of sexual activity. . . . They are embarrassed and ashamed of their behavior and rightfully believe that society will not understand their victimization. . . . No matter what the investigator does, most adolescent boys will deny they were victims.”

· The Journal of Child Psychiatry adds: “Boys are usually encultured into an ethos where self-reliance, independence and sexual prowess are valued, while showing hurt or homosexuality are denigrated. . . . This may lead to powerful repression or deletion of the experience, with failure to report.”

Homosexuals Comprise Less than 3 Percent of the Population · Relying upon three large data sets: the General Social Survey, the National Health and Social Life Survey, and the U.S. census, a recent study in Demography estimates the number of exclusive male homosexuals in the general population at 2.5 percent, and the number of exclusive lesbians at 1.4 percent.

· A study of the sexual behavior of men in the United States based on the National Survey of Men (a nationally representative sample comprised of 3,321 men aged twenty to thirty-nine, published in Family Planning Perspectives), found that “2 percent of sexually active men aged twenty to thirty-nine . . . had had any same-gender sexual activity during the last ten years. Approximately 1 percent of the men (1.3 percent among whites and 0.2 percent among blacks) reported having had exclusively homosexual activity.

· J. Gordon Muir, writing in The Wall Street Journal, discusses a number of studies that have found that homosexuals comprise between 1 to 3 percent of the population.

· In a survey of studies on homosexuals in different populations, the Archives of Sexual Behavior reported a random sample of Hawaii State residents interviewed by telephone. The study found “just about 3 percent of males and 1.2 percent of females as having engaged in same-sex or bisexual activity.” However, this relatively higher number is attributed to the fact that the study was not limited to exclusive homosexuals, but included all those who at some time in their lives engaged in same-sex activities.

Homosexual Pedophiles are Vastly Overrepresented in Child Sex Abuse Cases Homosexual pedophiles sexually molest children at a far greater rate compared to the percentage of homosexuals in the general population. A study in the Journal of Sex Research found, as we have noted above, that “approximately one-third of had victimized boys and two-thirds had victimized girls.” The authors then make a prescient observation: “Interestingly, this ratio differs substantially from the ratio of gynephiles (men who erotically prefer physically mature females) to androphiles (men who erotically prefer physically mature males), which is at least 20 to 1.”

In other words, although heterosexuals outnumber homosexuals by a ratio of at least 20 to 1, homosexual pedophiles commit about one-third of the total number of child sex offenses. This is all based on frequency not the total amounts, you seemingly failed to understand this...

birthday --

Please supply a link for this claim ... "MALE HOMOSEXUALS COMMIT A DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBER OF CHILD SEX ABUSE CASES"

This is a lie by the Vatican/RCC which succeeded for 2,000 years in oppressing homosexuals ... in fact, they succeeded so well that Catholic parents were actually taught to hate their own children and throw them out of their homes. The Vatican not only taught parents to hate their homosexual children, they also taught our societies under patriarchal control to fear, hate and to spread intolerance for homosexuals. This hatred and intolerance resulted in the beatings and murder of homosexuals on a regular basis. This is basic religious teaching by "Christianity."

Homosexuals were forced to "live in the closet" -- and most if not all actually entered into marriages with women and many had children.

Even today, in America it is doubtful that we have any idea of the true numbers of homosexuals among us. And that doubt exists for many reasons. Many homosexuals in various parts of the US still FEAR coming out to parents and/or the community. It is still very easy to find blatant homophobia being expressed by those who call themselves "Christians." We have a Congress full of Republicans who continue to orate on the dangers of homosexuality. If there is anything common in the behavior of Elite-patriarchy it is to try to project their own sins onto others.

The Vatican has also been overwhelmingly involved in the oppression of females for the benefit of Elites-patriarchy. Over 2,000 years they have engaged in suggesting that females are spiritually "inferior" to males and they have barred females from authority and ritual in the RCC.

Because women studied plants which are our natural medicines and drugs for health and healing, they were a danger to Elite-patriarchy. Women were the healers in our societies/communities. They were also our mid-wives which meant that they had first hand experience with reproduction and child-bearing and with life and death.

The Vatican "Crusades" took the lives of so many males, that women began to inherit the property and wealth of their husbands, increasing their influence within their communities. For a Church which was involved in the oppression of women this was a great concern.

The Vatican also had the power to LABEL others -- their enemies -- and in this case they labelled women as "witches" for their knowledge of nature. Not only did they label women as "witches" but they actually burned females at the stake over centuries, both in Europe and on this land.

Why are females a threat to Elite-patriarchy?
Because they represent knowledge which conflicts with the interests of Elite-patriarchy -- knowledge of ways to control reproduction -- knowledge of means of birth control - and ways to end fertility if a female wished. Knowledge of ways to interrupt conception if a females wished by the use of plants. Subsequently, ALL of the plants were destroyed by patriarchy as well as the knowledge of plants held by females.

Women were also a threat to patriarchy because they are the protectors of children. If women/Mothers are able to protect their children then those children are NOT sexually abused by males.

That was also inconvenient for the Vatican and its pedophile priests who are still with us today. And in hidden inner circles of the RCC there are still claims of sexual abuse and murder of children.

MALES are our sexual abusers of children -- and your comments confirm that reality over and again ---

Dude that wall of text did nothing to debunk anything in OP. You basically just state that thr Vatican lies and women are rarely pedophile and men abuse the most children, also something about reproductive rights. Not one sentence mentioned anything about the OP's argument.

birth --

Everything in your OP is inane and evidently based in the idea that males who rape other males are homosexual. Sandusky is an excellent example of that misinformation. Still many will continue to suggest that Sandusky was a homosexual and not a pedophile.

And this is more ruse ...

Most people are fine with transgenders, gay people, etc. I am, I have no beef with what they find most natural or what they do in private. However, it seems most gay activists dismiss concerns of child sexual abuse–in part, by strenuously insisting that there is no connection between homosexuality and the sexual abuse of children.

It's a lie that gay activists ... who are families, mothers and fathers and extended family members "dismiss concerns about child sexual abuse."

EVERYONE STANDS AGAINST SEXUAL ABUSE OF CHILDREN... except pedophiles and heterosexual males who sexually abuse children.

The Catholic Church has been trying to tie homosexuals to sexual abuse of children for 2,000 years when in fact it is pedophiles and heterosexual priests in the church who sexually abuse children.

There is no "merely" about what I'm repeating to you from studies.

Your ONLY argument is your evidently lifelong idea that if a male rapes a young boy then that male is a homosexual. It doesn't work that way.

PEDOPHILIA is about the AGE of a child -- not its gender.

Some studies suggest that pedophiles have no actual sexual orientation.

Heterosexuals who are "situational" pedophiles are said to prefer sexual relationships with adult females -- but when one is NOT available, they will rape a child.

In our most common crime -- INCEST -- you see those abusing children are Grandfathers, Fathers, Step-fathers, Uncles, Male Cousins -- and male friends of the family.

Do you really think that those males are homosexual?
