Homosexuality is a dangerous sexual deviance and should be illegal

There is plenty of evidence of the homosexual link to pedophilia and this round I'll provide direct sources from documented research that proves my contention without a moment's doubt. As you and many gay activists claim, that homosexuality doesn't have anything to do with pedophilia because the latter focuses solely on sexual relations with children as opposed to with adults, I have provided data showing this stereotypical view is not correct and I'll go further with my proof in this round. First we can start by acknowledging that sexual abuse against children is invariably committed by men. Kee MacFarlane, et al., writing in Sexual Abuse of Young Children: Evaluation and Treatment report: "The large majority of sexual perpetrators appear to be males" Now, as we look at sexual abuse against boys, we see research showing that this abuse is underreported and could even be at the same level as sexual abuse against girls. One study found that "some authors now believe that boys may be sexually abused as commonly as girls (Groth, 1978; O"Brien,1980)." The actual percentage of child sexual abuse victims who are boys very likely exceeds current estimates. Many researchers shares the view of the Journal of Child Psychiatry study, which refers to the "under-reporting of the incidence and prevalence of sexual abuse in boys." Dr. Robert Johnson, in Medical Aspects of Human Sexuality, reports:" The vast majority of cases of male sexual molestation is not reported. As a result, these young men keep both the incidents and their feelings to themselves." The Department of Justice report on child sexual exploitation explains why this is the case: "Adolescent boy victims are highly likely to deny certain types of sexual activity."They are embarrassed and ashamed of their behavior and rightfully believe that society will not understand their victimization."No matter what the investigator does, most adolescent boys will deny they were victims." A study of 457 male sex offenders against children in Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy found that "The proportional prevalence of offenders against male children in this group of 457 offenders against children was 36 percent." In a similar research by same author " "Approximately one-third of these individuals had victimized boys and two-thirds had victimized girls. This finding is consistent with the proportions reported in two earlier studies," " (1)(2) Regarding the proof you furnished, look like it's very common among Pro-homosexual activists, and foot soldiers like yourself, rest much of this argument on a single study by Carole Jenny (which is from the third link you sent me) which claims that only 2 of 269 child molesters could be identified as gay or lesbian. However, the problem with Jenny's study is the atypical research technique used. Funny enough the reported child molesters themselves were not interviewed. Instead (and this part is laughable) the researchers relied upon the subjective reports of "informants" who accompanied the child-victim to the medical clinic. Only if the "informant" explicitly volunteered the opinion that perpetrator was a homosexual, and that opinion was recorded on the clinic"s medical chart, was he or she classified as such. Moreover, if there was any evidence that the perpetrator had ever engaged in a heterosexual relationship, he or she was automatically classified as heterosexual. Despite the narrow profile used in the study, the fact is that the study itself found that 22 percent of the children had been molested by a person of the same sex. In these cases the molesters clearly engaged in homosexual molestation. So so much for your rebuttal by citing phony research. I have listed the pages where you can read all about the ridiculous methodology used in the pro-homosexual study which, despite the deceptive nature, even went as far as to prove my point. (3) That is the only research paper you've used and this Groth and McConaghy guy and who've purportedly looked at "the research to date" and those include what? If they rely on this piece of cr*p research, then they are not trustworthy to begin with. The fact is that researchers knows and acknowledge that the reasons many pedophiles are not caught is because they do not fit into a typical cut-and-dry mould or stereotype but in fact exhibit various sexual tendencies and behaviors. Thus, rendering such a narrow view as phony Jenny does not do justice to what research is beginning to get the hang of about the complex nature of pedophilia. A study on sex offenders in the International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology report the same finding: "the reason child sexual abusers are successful at remaining undetected is because they do not fit a stereotype." Research investigating sex offenders against male children in Behavior Research and Therapy found that male homosexual pedophiles exhibited sexual attraction to "males of all ages." Compared to non-offenders, the offenders showed "greater arousal" to slides of nude males as old as twenty-four: "As a group, the child molesters responded with moderate sexual arousal"to the nude males of all ages." (4) As I may have stated in the previous round, in a study of 229 convicted child molesters made by Archives of Sexual Behaviour found that "86 percent of offenders against males described themselves as homosexual or bisexual". Hence many pedophiles, in fact, consider themselves to be homosexual. (5) Even though there is research out there supporting my claim, don't kid yourself in believing that this is a tenable thesis to hold in today's society. The only way to be able to hold politically incorrect views and state them publicly is if you're independently wealthy, sort of like we're seeing Donald Trump come out of the woodwork now. Here's an example of a CEO who lost his position because of a position of his on gay marriage. This is the kind of witch hunt that goes on in our society. Even if the truth is poking you in the face, if it doesn't go along with the narrative you can lose your job, livelihood and so on, so I don't expect researchers to be all outspoken against gays. (6) The passages you list in the bible are absolutely irrelevant and the university's adherence to Christian believes and morals as well since they've produced research that, unlike what my opponent claims, fully hinge on documented research. It's partly my fault because I didn't provide the research paper in the last debate, but as you'll see, there are well documented research supporting the whole paper and you'll find no reference to the Bible, so your bigotry is not based on anything, so you ca go ahead and drop that point. Here's the paper that is so "Christian". https://www.regent.edu... In that paper, several pieces of evidence of pedophile themes appearing in major newspaper and gay culture that I mentioned in previous round, that is something my opponent has yet to answer for. To add a few more, here are books appearing in Gay Men"s Press fiction bestseller list: For a Lost Soldier: the story of a sexual relationship between a soldier and an eleven-year-old boy, set during World War II. A Good Start, Considering: yet another story about an eleven-year-old boy (!) who suffers sexual abuse but is rescued by a teenager who "offers him love and affection" Teardrops on My Drum: barefoot kids in 1920s" Liverpool search for "adventure, love and sex." Some Boys: described as a "memoir of a lover of boys" that "evokes the author"s young friends across four decades." and so on, and so on, and so forth. The part where homosexuals are having affairs with hundred and - as I showed - many over 1,000 partners, shows that gay men overall have bonding and attachment issues which also goes into compulsive sexual behavior. Both are underlying psychological problems. As one gay writer writes: "trying to locate monogamy among gay men is like trying to hunt for truffles." Hence, the way we've organised our society and the way we view a healthy sexuality is between a man and a wife. Now there have of course been a shift in consciousness since we no longer have any check over women's sexuality and so in the the wake of the 1960s sexual revolution ensued a more promiscuous lifestyle overall. However, most persons would agree that a union (whether hetero- or homosexual) is more preferable to a life of jumping from partner to partner. We may have deviated from the historical norm, mostly because of the pill and other contraceptive articles and because the welfare state allows women to not have to be dependent on a man for economic dependence but can instead receive on government handouts (let me also add no-fault divorce into the mix). However, the lion share of straight people want to find a life long partner. This does not seem to be the case with homosexuals. The push for homosexual marriage seems more to be a push for more economic rights that are granted to wedded households. I think I shown clear evidence of sexual aberration and unwholesome behavior. Notwithstanding the fact that gays have a considerable shorter lifespan, psychological problems associated, etc. there are also the children's risk that I can't stress enough. The gay lifestyle and movement pose a threat to society and should therefore be illegal. End of story. 1.
