I'm very sure.
One is a sick organization, that believes the sexual exploitation of young/underage boys is just fine and natural. barf
The other, is the sexual orientation...of consenting adults.
The problem is that all too many have been brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality (especially with males)...is the same as pedophilia.
It's not.
Facts About Homosexuality and Child Molestation
Quote:
Some conservative groups have argued that scientific research strongly supports their claims that homosexuality and pedophilia are linked. The Family Research Council has produced what is perhaps the most extensive attempt to document this claim. It is an article by Timothy J. Dailey titled Homosexuality and Child Abuse.
With 76 footnotes, many of them referring to papers in scientific journals, it appears at first glance to be a thorough and scholarly discussion of the issue. On further examination, however, its central argument – that "the evidence indicates that homosexual men molest boys at rates grossly disproportionate to the rates at which heterosexual men molest girls" – doesn't hold up.
Reflecting the results of these and other studies, as well as clinical experience, the mainstream view among researchers and professionals who work in the area of child sexual abuse is that homosexual and bisexual men do not pose any special threat to children. For example, in one review of the scientific literature, noted authority Dr. A. Nicholas Groth wrote:
Are homosexual adults in general sexually attracted to children and are preadolescent children at greater risk of molestation from homosexual adults than from heterosexual adults? There is no reason to believe so.
The research to date all points to there being no significant relationship between a homosexual lifestyle and child molestation. There appears to be practically no reportage of sexual molestation of girls by lesbian adults, and the adult male who sexually molests young boys is not likely to be homosexual (Groth & Gary, 1982, p. 147).

If you read the entire article, it actually points out that pedophiles are not really 'heterosexuals' nor 'homosexuals'...as their sexual attraction is based on age.
Quote:
The distinction between a victim's gender and a perpetrator's sexual orientation is important because many child molesters don't really have an adult sexual orientation. They have never developed the capacity for mature sexual relationships with other adults, either men or women. Instead, their sexual attractions focus on children – boys, girls, or children of both sexes.

I do get it though, that a lot of us (including myself) feel 'uncomfortable' or 'grossed out'...by public displays of homosexuality.
The same applies for me...to those who are covered with visible tattoos.
What I try to keep in mind however, is that the COTUS does not confer a 'right'...that we never be uncomfortable or repulsed. :shrug: |
