What are the best known studies which Christian authors cite in support of the correlation between homosexual orientation and child molestation?

Christian books/articles have long claimed that the sins of homosexual acts and the sins of child molestation often come together and that homosexuals often attempt to "recruit children". In more recent decades Christian literature often claims that child pornography is consumed and distributed by homosexuals in large percentages. I'm looking for documentation preferences for all of these topics.


[No, I'm not asking what studies their OPPOSITION cites nor am I asking for your personal opinion or anything else. And the reply, "They don't have any." is similarly irrelevant and unhelpful.] While most "answers" on R&S respond to imaginary questions substituted according to the respondent's personal preferences, I would be grateful if those answering would consider addressing the question posted. Thank you.]

Mental retardation and making up statistics are the only reasons I can think up of.

The connection between homosexuality and childhood sexual abuse is a correlation. I'm sure you know the definition of a correlation, but I'll explain anyway. The two are connected; however, one does not cause the other. What that means is that there are more occurrences of homosexual behavior in childhood sexual abuse cases than in consensual adult sexual behavior. However, being homosexual does not cause one to sexually abuse children, as most homosexuals are not likely to abuse children.



I don't have any studies to cite offhand, but I have read several of them that support what I stated above. If you are desperately needing one, e-mail me and I'll see what I can find.

They're lies made up to make homosexuality sound like a sick disease, because they think their bible says its wrong
