among convicts in prison for sexual offenses, including with child victims.

98% of convicted child molesters were self-described heterosexuals.

Only 2% were self-described homosexuals.

2% is lower than the percentage of gays in the general population. So, statistically speaking, gays are less likely than straights to commit sexual offenses with children.

But you'll never get these whackos to understand that.

I'd link to the study if I could remember the name of it, and who conducted it.
