We're going to need to see a link for this hooligan.
You could always do a search on the numbers anti-gay/pedophile threads where the uneducated crowd equate being gay as more likely to be pedophiles, or the sexual assault of young boys being equated to being gay. Both are false.
"Despite a common myth, homosexual men are not more likely to sexually abuse children than heterosexual men are."
“The research to date all points to there being no significant relationship between a homosexual lifestyle and child molestation. There appears to be practically no reportage of sexual molestation of girls by lesbian adults, and the adult male who sexually molests young boys is not likely to be homosexual."
Groth, A. N., & Gary, T. S. (1982). Heterosexuality, homosexuality, and pedophilia: Sexual offenses against children and adult sexual orientation.
"Homosexuality and homosexual pedophilia are not synonymous. In fact, it may be that these two orientations are mutually exclusive, the reason being that the homosexual male is sexually attracted to masculine qualities whereas the heterosexual male is sexually attracted to feminine characteristics, and the sexually immature child’s qualities are more feminine than masculine. . . . The child offender who is attracted to and engaged in adult sexual relationships is heterosexual. It appears, therefore, that the adult heterosexual male constitutes a greater sexual risk to underage children than does the adult homosexual male."
A. Nicholas Groth, William F. Hobson, and Thomas S. Gary, “The Child Molester: Clinical Observations,” in Social Work and Child Sexual Abuse, eds. Jon R. Conte and David A. Shore (New York: Haworth Press, 1982), p.136.
"Amongst the heterosexuals, the commonest remarks concerning attractive features of the victims, were that the young boys did not have any body hair and that their bodies were soft and smooth."
Marshal, W.L.; Barbaree, H.E.; Butt, Jennifer. “Sexual offenders against male children: Sexual preferences.”
Thanks to Jaymax for listing these in another thread. We need a database of which to quickly reference these since they come up so often!
Yes, he is almost certainly straight. Please read a Psych101 text book. It's not Liberal Ideology, it's science.
Why do you say Sandusky's almost certainly straight ? We have no idea of his orientation. Other than what he's accused of with boys, which gender he's emotionally and physically attracted to is unknown. Unless you know more about him than I'm guessing you do.

Thank You for your hard work Fiyero but I never associated homosexuality with pedophilia.

At least 90% of the population identifies as straight. Therefore, there is a 90% chance Sandusky is straight. Sounds "almost certainly straight" to me. Do you disagree?

Strange logic. I would think 90% of the public are not pedophiles yet it sounds like Sandusky overcame the odds. I would guess that pedophilia is a pretty specific orientation but I'm definitely no expert.
