Playing the (Anti-gay) Pedophilia Card
Playing the Pedophilia Card

Words: 840
Date: 2001 (updated 1/29/2002)


One of the most frustrating aspects of the struggle for equal rights for gay and lesbian Americans is the strength of enduring untruths, particularly those knowingly perpetuated by our opponents.

And perhaps the most maddening of these falsehoods suggests that gay men present a special danger to children.

Conservative Christian organizations shamelessly promote this deception. The Family Research Council's website offers the 31-page report "Homosexual Activists Work to Normalize Sex With Boys."<1> Until recently, the American Family Association's site presented "Homosexuality and Child Molestation: The Link, the Likelihood, the Lasting Effects."<2>

Still not quite sure that gay men molest kids? Contact Focus on the Family and purchase "Setting the Record Straight," which alleges that a child molester is 17 times more likely to be gay than straight.<3>

The moral lawlessness of repeating this untruth is all the more egregious because its falsity has been known for over 20 years.

In 1978 psychologist Nicholas Groth screened 175 men who had been convicted in Massachusetts of sexual molestation of children and referred by a court for psychological evaluation. He found not a single gay man in this sample. Every one of the perpetrators was either an exclusive heterosexual, a bisexual with a predominantly heterosexual orientation, or a fixated pedophile with no sexual interest in adults.<4>

His conclusion? That "the adult heterosexual male constitutes a greater risk to the underage child than does the adult homosexual male."

1. Isn't there a commandment about lying?
Pardon my lapse. I forgot for a moment that "christians" in American just pick and fucking choose whatever in the bible they want to abide by.

And a child is most likely to be molested by a family member. Focus on your own damn family dobson.

2. Dobson is the world's biggest child molestor
Dobson obessess about getting inside the minds of small children and infecting them with christian guilt/shame.

Foley may be sick. But Dobson is much, much sicker. Dobson (and other predators like him) should be locked up in solitary for the rest of his life.

3. Maybe that's why the Repukes always equate homosexuality with pedophelia
because the members of their ranks are pedos, and try to hide it as "I'm gay" ... and therefore, all the "gays" they encounter are really just pedos ...

4. I suspect that in their Manicheaism they see bisexuals as homosexual
When you deal in such a black and white there is no room for more than two categories of anything.
