Do homosexuals disproportionately molest children? Gay activists vehemently deny it, yet the empirical evidence says otherwise. The key concept is proportionality. Probably a numerical majority of child molestations involve a male adult and a female child, but given the small fraction of homosexual practitioners, the number of homosexual molestations is disproportionate to the percentage of homosexuals. This briefing summarizes some of the key evidence.

Three Critical Facts

• Homosexuals comprise < 2% of adults
• 90+% of child molesters are male
• The Gay Report — 23% of gays reported sex with boys aged <16; 7% with boys aged <13

From Facts to Disproportionate Reality

• Human Rights Watch 2008 World Report — ~150 million girls, ~73 million boys “have experienced rape or other sexual violence”
• U.S., Canadian reports — girl/boy ratio also about 2:1
• 25-40% of molestations are thus same-sex, far in excess of the percentage of homosexuals

Homosexual Molestation in Positions of Authority

• ~43% of sex between teachers & pupils
• ~50% of sex between foster parents & foster children
• 21 group home sex scandals — 71% were same-sex

Sex With One’s Own Children

• Homosexual parents — 18%; Heterosexual parents — 0.6%
