I'm having a really hard time finding reliable information to link. Maybe JayZee can help if he wants. Many of the articles are from churches and right wing sites that aren't necessarily impartial or reliable. But from several articles (both pro-gay and anti-gay) anywhere from 15-30% of gay men admit being molested (under age 12). Given that most people won't admit to being molested you have to figure that the numbers are at least double that. Also only 1-2% of all people report being sexually molested as kids. So gays are 10-15 times more likely to report being molested as kids.But it gets even murkier as most people think that the numbers are much higher than 1.5% and they don't all use the same definitions and age groups for abuse. But the fact is that gays are much more likely to report being molested. |
