The High Rate Of Child loveual Abuse By Homoloveual Males 1390

This is just more "Dr" Paul Cameron spew. Cameron has been discredited and expelled from the professional societies he once belonged to for unethical and unscientific behaviour, specifically the misrepresentation of legitimate research done by his intellectual superiors. He has also been chastised by U.S. court judges for similar misrepresentations during sworn testimony.

In his written opinion in Baker v. Wade (1985), Judge Buchmeyer of the U.S. District Court of Dallas referred to "Cameron's sworn statement that 'homoloveuals abuse children at a proportionately greater incident than do heteroloveuals,'" and concluded that "Dr. Paul Cameron...has himself made misrepresentations to this Court" and that "There has been no fraud or misrepresentations except by Dr. Cameron"

On page 536 of his opinion, Judge Buchmeyer noted the following examples of misrepresentations by Cameron to the Court:

"(i) his sworn statement that "homoloveuals are approximately 43 times more apt to commit crimes than is the general population" is a total distortion of the Kinsey data upon which he relies � which, as is obvious to anyone who reads the report, concerns data from a non-representative sample of delinquent homoloveuals (and Dr. Cameron compares this group to college and non-college heteroloveuals); (ii) his sworn statement that "homoloveuals abuse children at a proportionately greater incident than do heteroloveuals" is based upon the same distorted data � and, the Court notes, is directly contrary to other evidence presented at trial besides the testimony of Dr. Simon and Dr. Marmour. (553 F. Supp. 1121 at 1130 n.18.)" Baker v. Wade, 106 Federal Rules Decisions 526 (N.D. Texas, 1985).

It appears the Radical Right Religious organizations are so hard pressed to find *anybody* with *any* kind of "scientific" background to support their agenda of hate and hysteria mongering that they must turn to decertified quacks like Cameron and his Family "Research" Council for support. It is unreasonable to buttume that all these fundamentalists are devoid of education into the proper scientific method, so one might well conclude that they are, and continue to be, knowing perpetrators of fraud against the public by claiming this Cameron spew consbreastutes anything other than the opinions of a quack.

Here are some facts about Cameron.

"The empirical research on adult loveual orientation and molestation of children does not show that gay men are any more likely than heteroloveual men to molest children." 1

Dr. William C. Holmes, buttistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, authored a study in the December 1998 issue of the Journal of the American Medical buttociation that reports that 98% of all male perpetrators who had loveually abused boys were identified in their families and communities as heteroloveual.

Dr. William C. Holmes, "loveual Abuse of Boys" JAMA, December 2, 1998, p. 1855-1860.

"The belief that homoloveuals are particularly attracted to children is completely unsupported by our data� In our twelve years of work with child molesters, we have found� the child offender who is also attracted to and engaged in an adult loveual relationship is heteroloveual. The adult heteroloveual male consbreastutes a greater risk to the underage child than does the homoloveual male."

Perhaps the greatest misconception that perpetuates this myth is the confusion around the term loveual orientation. "Orientation refers to feelings, self-concept, and social idenbreasty. Persons may or may not express their orientation through behaviors."

-   Robert L. Smith, Ph.D., President, Kentucky Psychological buttociation, "Misinformation on Gays", The Courier Journal, March 27, 1995.

"loveual abuse of male children by adult men is often referred to as 'homoloveual molestation,' which implies that the perpetrator is himself gay or has a homoloveual orientation. Usually, however, the adjectives 'homoloveual' and 'heteroloveual' really refer to the victim's gender in relation to that of the perpetrator, not to the perpetrator's loveual orientation."

-   Gregory M. Herek, Ph.D., Department of Psychology at UC Davis

Child loveual abuse is a serious problem. It's crucial that parents have accurate information regarding this issue. "A child is 100 more times more likely to be molested by a family member than by a homoloveual."

-   Dr. Carole Jenny, "Are Children at Risk for loveual Abuse by Homoloveuals?", Pediatrics, July 1994, p. 41-44.

"The vast majority of offenders are heteroloveual men. Male offenders who abuse young boys maintain adult heteroloveual relationships."
