Frank LombardYou might think like that, but how would you really know? A large number of gay men were themselves molested as kids and there seems to be some correlation between being molested as a kid and doing the same thing as an adult. You take a random group of 10 gay, male couples and odds are that at least half of those couples have at least one person that was molested as a child. That's almost ten times higher than for straight couples. Being gay doesn't make you a pedophile and most pedophiles are not gay, but gay is certainly a high risk group for pedophilia. Still it's considered impolite to talk about so we just give them their adopted kids and pretend that everything's fine. |
