Homosexuality is a dangerous sexual deviance and should be illegal

Pro has not met his burden of proof and none of his assertions justify criminalizing millions of Americans for being born. A. There is no absolutely connection between the homosexual orientation and pedophilia and there are already laws in place against sexual abuse of children. "The large majority of sexual perpetrators appear to be males" I don’t see how this is relevant as the majority of all sexual assaults (94% of rapes) are committed by men [2.1]. In fact, it is supports an argument not to criminalize homosexuality When it is very unlikely for a woman to engage in sexual behavior with a minor. -There is no reliable evidence to support Pro’s claims. Pro spends a lot of time countering my sources in this section so I will and I’d refer you to now to [1.3]. All my research papers sited in this section are from peer reviewed journals summarized in the article. "the reason child sexual abusers are successful at remaining undetected is because they do not fit a stereotype." Pro Brings up a few few conspiratorial ideas with no evidence and still can’t connect this to male homosexuals. - Pros Sources Steven Baldwin admits that his position on homosexuality is a faith based position [1.6]. I did find the article and it is not peer reviewed in a scientific journal so the results are invalid. The Regent University Code of conduct states, “Sexual Conduct Regent University fully accepts the teachings of the traditional Biblical view with regard to the goodness of our sexuality….Sexual misconduct that is prohibited includes disorderly conduct or lewd, indecent, or obscene conduct… homosexual conduct or any other conduct that violates Biblical standards [2.2].” So yes, the verses condemning homosexuality are 100% relevant because they made their decision before any evidence came in. that is the opposite of a scientific approach. It is against their school code of conduct to engage in homosexual activity and you can be expelled as a result. -This debate hinges on active adult homosexuals engaged in increased pedophilia. Pro asserts that male pedophiles are also attracted to adult men without providing a link to the source. If I can’t view the sources they do not qualify as evidence. This does not conflict with the established scientific understanding that homosexual men do not engage in pedophilia. He reports findings that convicted pedophiles often identify as homosexual without a source link. There can be a lot of confusion between the scientific term ‘homosexual pedophilia’ which is a man attracted to male children and homosexuals who are attracted to adult men and many other issues can come up. Saying you are gay, while denigrated by some, is a lot more comfortable to say than to admit you only are attracted to children. Admitting that would put you in serious danger. The only worse position would be to be locked up as a cop (I’m talking to you sheriff Joe Arpaio). You mine as when survey them to see if they are guilty, 99.9% innocent! -Irrelevant Arguments Without a link between adult heterosexual relationships these arguments are completely irrelevant: Pro quotes the department of justice reporting that underage male victims of molestation are apprehensive or unlikely to report sexual abuse and indicates that the percentage of victims may be even when comparing male and female victims. Without a source link to confirm this is just hearsay. Pro concedes available statistics report an imbalance in male pedophiles that prefer underage girls anywhere from 67-70%. A CEO losing his job due to a prejudice (justified or not) has nothing to do with the resolution. The same is true of four books marketed to pedophiles and your discomfort with multiple sexual relationships and unwholesome behavior. - I’ll elaborate on my counter position but Pro has simply not met his burden of proof. If everything he says is true we would automatically make it illegal to be born with a specific sexual orientation. You would make it illegal for millions of Americans, who have committed no crime, to express the natural core relationship of their family robbing them of a most basic human need.
