The study was not specifically to look for if people were gay or straight, that was just one of many factors looked at. The study was done on a random population of convicted child molesters (so men and women who had molested/rapes boys or girls of various ages) and they were given the choice to self-identify as gay, straight, or bisexual. There are a few factors in this study that could be done better but other similar studies have found fairly close statistics. You bring up a good point though about someone self-defining as straight but holding different views in relationship to children.Tom Sebournhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181314524021111122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1262301168493662112.post-74116576349751825972008-09-30T07:43:00.000-07:002008-09-30T07:43:00.000-07:00I agree with Sarah's logic but not her statistics....I agree with Sarah's logic but not her statistics. Civil union should be the government certificate that you obtain at a courthouse and marriage is what should only occur in a church or sanctioned by a church. Without any statistics or studies to cite, I recall hearing several pedophiles (men in state prison) who said they were straight with respect to adult relationships but homosexual with respect to there victims. Regardless, I don't think an openly gay man is a threat to my children any more than any other male. <BR/>Just my 2¢ <BR/>BTW, Tom, good re-posting!Greg Sebournhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10530550845992338383noreply@blogger.com
