Family Research Council on PC homosexuality

Pro-Homosexual Political Correctness Sowed Seeds for Foley Scandal. This article is from the Family Research Council and I've inserted my own qualifying comments below.

Democrats seeking to exploit the resignation of Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) are (Insert: "could be rightly motivated") right to criticize the slow response of Republican congressional leaders to his communications with male pages. But neither party seems likely to address the real issue, which is the link between homosexuality and child sexual abuse. Foley, an unmarried 52-year-old representative, had always refused to answer questions about his sexual orientation. Now that his emails and messages to teenage male pages have been revealed, it appears clear that Foley is a homosexual with a particular attraction to underage boys. While pro-homosexual activists like to claim that pedophilia (Insert: "pederasty") is a completely distinct orientation from homosexuality, evidence shows a disproportionate overlap between the two. Although almost all child molesters are male and less than 3% of men are homosexual, about a third of all child sex abuse cases involve men molesting boys--and in one study, 86% of such men identified themselves as homosexual or bisexual. Ignoring this reality got the Catholic Church into trouble over abusive priests, and now it is doing the same to the House GOP leadership. They discounted or downplayed earlier reports concerning Foley's behavior--probably because they did not want to appear "homophobic." (Insert: or because Democrat activists had more information than the Republicans and politically timed the 'surprising' release) The Foley scandal shows what happens when political correctness is put ahead of protecting children. (Insert: It seems good that Dennis Hasterd is asking who knew what, and when, and why it took so long to release the information. Stay tuned. One thing is good, Republicans take such seriously and effect resignations. Democrats who apparently have the chat logs and powerful politicals with interesting proclivities e.g. Clinton, Frank, Kennedy, not only do not force resignations but they still wield power and have a lot to say about such, of course with minimal credibility imho.)
