Another bullshit assertion on your part. Let's look at what the research shows us.
<blockquote>Reflecting the results of these and other studies, 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:
<i>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 <b>the adult male who sexually molests young boys is not likely to be homosexual</b></i> (Groth & Gary, 1982, p. 147). (<i>emphasis mine</i>)
In a more recent literature review, Dr. Nathaniel McConaghy (1998) similarly cautioned against confusing homosexuality with pedophilia. He noted, "The man who offends against prepubertal or immediately postpubertal boys is typically not sexually interested in older men or in women" (p. 259).
This well known lack of a linkage between homosexuality and child molestation accounts for why relatively little research has directly addressed the issue. Proving something we already know simply isn't a priority. Indeed, a commentary that accompanied publication of the 1994 study by Jenny et al. in Pediatrics noted that debates about gay people as molesters "have little to do with everyday child abuse" and lamented that they distract lawmakers and the public from dealing with the real problem of children's sexual mistreatment (Krugman, 1994). - <a href=http://psychology.ucdavis.edu/rainbow/html/facts_molestation.html>Facts About Homosexuality and Child Molestation</a></blockquote>
It should also be noted that Michael Bussee, co-founder of Exodus International...a noted "reparative therapy" umberalla group of Christian ministries, ran off with Gary Cooper, an Exodus volunteer at the same ministry Bussee worked at. So much for a "cure".
