Homosexuality and Child Sexual Abuse - Part I

[Hitlery PD herself]

Summary:
The circle of abuse is the tragic legacy of the attempts by
homosexuals to legitimize having sex with boys. For too many boys it
is already too late to protect them from those who took advantage of
their need for love and attention. All too many later perpetrate the
abuse by themselves engaging in the sexual abuse of boys. Only by
exposing the lies, insincere denials, and deceptions — including
those wrapped in scholastic garb — of those who prey sexually on
children, can we hope to build a wall of protection around the
helpless children among us.


Scandals involving the sexual abuse of under-age boys by homosexual
priests have rocked the Roman Catholic Church. At the same time,
defenders of homosexuality argue that youth organizations such as
the Boy Scouts should be forced to include homosexuals among their
adult leaders. Similarly, the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education
Network (GLSEN), a homosexual activist organization that targets
schools, has spearheaded the formation of “Gay-Straight Alliances”
among students. GLSEN encourages homosexual teachers–even in the
youngest grades–to be open about their sexuality, as a way of
providing role models to “gay” students. In addition, laws or
policies banning employment discrimination based on “sexual
orientation” usually make no exception for those who work with
children or youth.

Many parents have become concerned that children may be molested,
encouraged to become sexually active, or even “recruited” into
adopting a homosexual identity and lifestyle. Gay activists dismiss
such concerns–in part, by strenuously insisting that there is no
connection between homosexuality and the sexual abuse of children.

However, despite efforts by homosexual activists to distance the gay
lifestyle from pedophilia, there remains a disturbing connection
between the two. This is because, by definition, male homosexuals
are sexually attracted to other males. While many homosexuals may
not seek young sexual partners, the evidence indicates that
disproportionate numbers of gay men seek adolescent males or boys as
sexual partners. In this paper we will consider the following
evidence linking homosexuality to pedophilia:







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.


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!”



· 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

· 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.”




Homosexuals Comprise Less than 3 Percent of the Population

· 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

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.

Similarly, the Archives of Sexual Behavior also noted that
homosexual pedophiles are significantly overrepresented in child sex
offence cases:

The best epidemiological evidence indicates that only 2 to 4 percent
of men attracted to adults prefer men (ACSF Investigators, 1992;
Billy et al.,1993; Fay et al.,1989; Johnson et al.,1992); in
contrast, around 25 to 40 percent of men attracted to children
prefer boys (Blanchard et al.,1999; Gebhard et al.,1965; Mohr et
al.,1964). Thus, the rate of homosexual attraction is 6 to 20 times
higher among pedophiles.”

Other studies report an unusually high percentage of child
molestations by homosexual pedophiles:


· The Journal of Sex Research reports a study that included “199
offenders against female children and 96 offenders against male
children. . . . This would indicate a proportional prevalence of 32
percent of homosexual offenders against children.”

· A study of male child sex offenders in Child Abuse and Neglect
found that fourteen percent targeted only males, and a further 28
percent chose males as well as females as victims, thus indicating
that 42 percent of male pedophiles engaged in homosexual
molestation.

ARE MEN WHO MOLEST BOYS REALLY ‘HOMOSEXUALS’? Gay Apologists Insist
on a Simplistic Stereotype of Pedophilia

The basis for this claim is the view that pedophiles who molest boys
cannot be considered homosexual if that individual has at any time
been married or sexually involved with women.
