What percentage of child molesters are gay
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (BP)–A social researcher who has studied sexual behavior for 24 years believes the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) has sound reasons for maintaining its prohibition against homosexual scoutmasters.
A homosexual cannot automatically be considered a infant molester, said Judith Reisman, president of the Institute for Media Education in suburban Louisville, Ky.
But with 17-24 percent of boys being abused by age 18, nearly as many as the 25 percent of girls, there is cause for concern, she said.
Since heterosexuals outnumber the homosexual population about 44 to 1, as a group the incidence of homosexuals molesting children is up to 40 times greater than heterosexuals, she said.
“You’re looking at a much higher rate of abuse,” said Reisman, a former university research professor who recently completed a study titled, “Crafting Lgbtq+ Children.” “The Department of Justice just released information and the rate of abuse are off the charts.”
BSA’s policy has been the subject of steady attacks from gay activists, who have convinced a number of school boards to oust the Scouts from board property.

Homiletic & Pastoral Review 44-54 Ignatius Press, May 2005 The Church has always had a small number of priests and other religious who have taken advantage of their positions of command and influence in request to gain sexual favors or to take superiority of the helpless. The problem of clerical kid sexual molestation, particularly in the United States, has been widely exposed and publicized over the last several years. The numerous recent revelations have exposed the problem as much deeper and more widespread than most would hold previously believed. During the current crisis, homosexual activists within and outside the Catholic Church have done everything they could to divert attention away from even the possibility that there may be a h Prof. Herek's blog Open bibliography In a similar fashion, gay people have often been portrayed as a threat to children. Back in 1977, when Anita Bryant campaigned successfully to repeal a Dade County (FL) ordinance prohibiting anti-gay discrimination, she named her organization "Save Our Children," and warned that "a particularly deviant-minded [gay] mentor could sexually molest children" (Bryant, 1977, p. 114). [Bibliographic references are on a different web page] In recent years, antigay activists have routinely asserted that homosexual people are minor molesters. This argument was often made in debates about the Boy Scouts of America's policy to exclude queer scouts and scoutmasters. More recently, in the wake of Rep.

For example, Jews in the Middle Ages were accused of murdering Christian babies in ritual sacrifices. Black men in the United States were often lynched after being falsely accused of raping White women.
