Pedophilia in the United States

.....Bishop agrees with NAMBLA that the next social movement in Western politics will be an attack on "sexual ageism," which prohibits sexual contact based on age differences. The movement already is well under way in Europe and Canada.
PEDOPHILIA IN THE UNITED STATES
In the United States, homosexual activists are more circumspect about their efforts to gain access to children than they are in Canada or Europe. While NAMBLA has regularly marched in homosexual pride parades in New York, San Francisco and other major cities, homosexual activists publicly disassociate themselves from pedophiles as part of a public relations strategy.
Yet homosexual groups are actively recruiting gay youth" through such groups as The Sexual Minority Youth Assistance League, the HettrickMartin Institute, AIDS service providers and various agencies that assist runaways. A concerted effort to change age-of-consent laws has not yet emerged, but some ominous signs portend an eventual effort. When Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was an attorney for the ACLU, she co-authored a report recommending that the age of consent for sexual acts be lowered to 12 years of age." ).3 (3 "Sex Bias in the U.S. Code," Report for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, April 1977, p. 102, quoted in "Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Feminist World View," The Phyllis Schlafly Report, Vol. 26, No. 12, Section 1, p.3. The paragraph reads as follows: '"Eliminate the phrase "carnal knowledge of any female, not his wife, who has not attained the age of 16 years" and substitute a federal, sex-neutral definition of the offense.... A person is guilty of an offense if he engages in a sexual act with another person.... [and] the other person is, in fact, less than 12 years old..)
The public still has a revulsion against child sexual abuse. In fact, whenever there is an attempt to show a connection between pedophiles and homosexuality, the standard response from the activists is that as many as 97 percent of all pedophiles are heterosexuals and/or married men. Thus, they deflect attention away from their own proclivities to have sex with children.
There is some truth to the claim that many pedophiles are heterosexually oriented men. To be accurate, pedophilia is the crime of sexually molesting a child of the opposite sex. Pederasty, on the other hand, is the crime of molesting a child of the same sex. The term pedophile is used as a general term to describe a person who molests any child, and the term pedophilia, however, is commonly used to refer to child sexual abuse in general. The homosexual who molests a child of the same sex, therefore, technically is guilty of pederasty, rather than pedophilia - yet both are child sexual abuse.
Homosexuals deny that there is a high incidence of child molestation among them, but the statistics tell another story.
First, we need to look at the statistics on child sexual abuse in general. The National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse (NCPCA) has published the following information:
1. Reports of sexual abuse are on the increase in our nation.
2. Between 80 and 95 percent of all child molestation’s are committed by men. The NCPCA notes, however, that there is a "dramatic increase in the number of adolescent offenders who have committed sexually aggressive acts against other children."
3. Girls are more likely to be the victims of molestation than boys. Males account for 25 to 35 percent of child sexual abuse victims.4 (4. "Child Sexual Abuse, "National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse, December 1996, http://www.childabuse.org)
How prevalent is child molestation among homosexuals?
- The Gay Report, published by homosexual
researchers Jay and Young in 1979, revealed that 73 percent of homosexuals
surveyed had at some time had sex with boys 16 to 19 years of age or younger.5
(5. K. Jay and A. Young, The
Gay Report (New York: Summit Books, 1979), p. 275. )
- Although homosexuals account for less than
two percent of the population. they constitute about a third of child
molesters.6 (6. K. Freund and R.I. Watson, "The Proportions of
Heterosexual and Homosexual Pedophiles Among Sex Offenders Against Children:
An Exploratory Study," Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy 18 (Spring 1992):
3443, cited in "The Problem of Pedophilia," op. cit. Also, K. Freund and R.I.
Watson, "Pedophilia and Heterosexuality vs. Homosexuality," Journal of Sex and
Marital Therapy 10 (Fall 1984): 197, cited in NARTH Fact Sheet. )
Further, as noted by the Encino, Calif.-based National Association
for research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), "since homosexual
pedophiles victimize far more children than do heterosexual pedophiles, it is
estimated that approximately 80 percent or pedophile victims are boys who have
been molested by adultmales.7 (7. Thomas Schmidt, Straight and Narrow?
Compassion and Clarity in the Homosexuality Debate (Downers Grove, IU.:
Intervarsity Press), p. 114, cited in "The Problem of Pedophilia, op. cit., p.
2. )
- A nationwide investigation of child
molestation in the Boy Scouts from 1971 to 1991 revealed that more than 2,000
boys reported molestations by adult Scout leaders. (Note: The Scouts, who have
150,000 Scoutmasters and assistant Scoutmasters, ban hundreds of men each year
from scouting out of concern that they might abuse boys.)8 (8. Patrick Boyle, Scout's Honor (Rocklin,
Calif.: Prima Publishing, 1994), p. 3l6. )
- A study of Canadian pedophiles has shown
that 30 percent of those studied admitted to having engaged In homosexual acts
as adults, and 91 percent of the molesters of non-familial boys admitted to no
lifetime sexual contact other than homosexual.9 (9. W. L. Marshall, et al., "Early onset
and deviant sexuality in child molesters," Journal of interpersonal Violence 6
(1991): 323-336, cited in "Pedophilia: The Part of Homosexuality They Don't
Want You to see," Colorado for Family Values Report, Vol. 14, March 1994. )
- Judith A. Reisman, Ph.D., and Charles B. Johnson, Ph.D., conducted a content study of the personal ads in the Advocate, the national gay and lesbian newsmagazine and discovered that "chickens," a common term for underage boys sought for sex, were widely solicited. Many of the advertisements in the magazine solicited boys and teens from within a larger pool of prostitution ads.10 (10. Judith A. Reisman, Ph.D., "A Content Analysis of 'The Advocate,"' unpublished manuscript p. 18, quoted in "Pedophilia: The Part of Homosexuality They Don't Want You to See," ibid. ) The authors also note a statement from a book review by homosexual activist Larry Kramer that the work, "like much canonized male homosexual literature, involves sexually predatory white men on the prowl for dark-skinned boys to gratify them.11 (11. From "Lany Kramer's Reading List," The Advocate, January 24, 1995, p. 99, cited in "Status Report," The Reisman & Johnson Report of Partner Solicitation Characteristics as a Reflection of More Sexual Orientation and the Threat to Children, First Principles Press, January l995.)
In a 1985 study of the rates of molestation among homosexual pederasts compared to heterosexua1 pedophiles, Dr. Paul Cameron found the following:
- 153 pederasts had sexually molested 22,981
boys over an average period of 22 years.
- 224 pedophiles had molested 4,435 girls
over an average period of 18 years.
- The average pederast molested an average of 150 boys, and each heterosexual pedophile molested an average of 20 girls, a ratio of 7.5 to one. 12 (12. Dr. Paul Cameron, “Homosexual Molestation of Children/Sexual Interaction of Teacher and Pupil,” Psychological Reports 57 (1985): 1227-1236.)
GOING AFTER
CHILDREN
Gaining access to children has been a long-term
goal of the homosexual movement. In 1972, the National Coalition of Gay
Organizations adopted a 'Gay Rights Platform" that included the following
demand: "Repeal of all laws governing the age of sexual consent." David
Thorstad, a spokesman for the homosexual rights movement and NAMBLA, clearly
states the objectives: 'The ultimate goal of the gay liberation movement is the
achievement of sexual freedom for all - not just equal rights for 'lesbians and
gay men, but also freedom of sexual expression for young people and children."
This goal has not changed since it was articulated in 1972.

AGE OF
CONSENT
Homosexual
organizations around the world have embarked upon a vigorous campaign to lower
actual age of consent laws by claiming that current laws are discriminatory
against homosexuals. In England, for example, a major push is underway to lower
the age of sexual consent for homosexuals to 14. OutRage!, a homosexual
organization that operates much like ACT UP in the United States, has been
leading the crusade. In a statement published on the Queer Intelligence Service
website, OutRage! claims that "under-age queers have rights too. They are some
of the most vulnerable members of our community. We have a special
responsibility to protect their interests and welfare.
