Three to one.
Most recent reports hold incidence of homosexual rates at about 1 to 3 percent. If one to three percent of the abusers account for one third of all abusers, then it suggests a higher likelihood within that community of a homosexual abusing than a heterosexual.

Of the cases dealing with abuse of children it is about 75/25. This did not change from D.C./Utah/Vegas. |

For me, the main logical reasons are a desire to preserve a "traditional" concept of a man and a woman marrying being the ideal. This does not mean, that other arrangements don't exist and that legal consequences can't be attached to those arrangements. However, what is the societal need to call these non-traditional arrangements "marriage"? If a majority don't desire to call them legally "marriage", why are the majority insensitive and bad? The only counter-argument that I've heard which is appealing, is, 'Why should heteros be the only ones to know the misery which is marriage?'

Did you cut yourself? Are you blaming me for your cutting yourself?

What I saw was a teenage boy that was an outcast, and who did things even though he knew they would keep him as an outcast. Perhaps this was his way of carving out an identity. Given his previous abuse I wondered if that experience didn't lead him to take on "homosexuality" as another component of his identity, even though he didn't need to. Look, I'm way in over my head with this. Just sorting through some thoughts. I'm still not convinced that choice in some way might not play a role in some or even many cases.

The percentages are undeniable Seattle. There is a direct correlation that cannot be argued. In the link Mike posted 1 – 7 homosexuals report being sexually abused. I have read elsewhere that 80% of incidents of sexual abuse go unreported. The Child pornography industry, supported by the so-called soft porn industry is a world wide billion dollar industry that shows predatory sexual behavior is epidemic. Common sense dictates a connection. Political sensitivities curtail open and outward expression of said connections. I am not prepared to discuss all of my personal experiences in such an open forum. Yes, it is cathartic to find ways to reach out and help others. Sometimes however it is exceptionally difficult and painful. No, I am not nor have not suggested that it is exclusively an issue of choice. I only advocate that choice is a MAJOR factor. SEQ very perceptively outlines the issues with his thoughts posted in another thread; Quote:
