It sounds like you think people will be wondering if the gay male couple adopted a handsome teen boy because they are attracted to him instead of wanting to be fathers to him?
1) I truly thought it was on ABC. But someone on here, the first guy who found the link, said it was a different network. And I live in Virginia so I said Virginia (I think). But the sleuth guy said it was a D.C.- based story, which is understandable, Northern VA & D.C. are so intermingled.
2) I added the word "attractive," yes, to garner attention, I admit, but it wasn't a conscious, nefarious thing. I honestly think the boy was robust & handsome (for my lack of wearing glasses, I dunno.) Well, they're not UNattractive, are they? And it doesn't matter anyway. Yes, I stuck "attractive" in there to draw attention to the article, but I wasn't lying.
3) I said 16 (I apologize) because I didn't remember the age they stated in the story, and he was just so dang TALL. Honestly, I thought I heard them say he was 12 but I second guessed what my ears thought they heard. He looked 16. Taller than both of his parents.
It isn't a "current event" when you make stuff up or add your opinion as fact. It's just a story you're telling.
The majority of young sexual abuse victims in the United States are male. It's difficult to believe that they are being abused by heterosexual men.
The reason that most sex offenders are heterosexual is because the majority of the population is heterosexual, of course. But if you look at the summary of this study filed in the National United States Library of Medicine you will see that their results suggested an 11:1 ratio of offense when comparing homosexual pedophiles with heterosexual ones.
Pedophiles are attracted to children. The sex of those children matter less than that they are children. The sex of victim has more to do with access than sexual orientation. In general, men have easier access to boys, so male pedophiles end up abusing boys more often. Abusing a male child does not mean a man is homosexual, the attraction is because the boy is a child.
Gay men are no more likely to be sexually attracted to children than straight men.
Many of my male homosexual friends were sexually abused as children. Guys assume that because their body mechanically responded during the assault they must be gay. It's very difficult for male sexual assault victims.
Most male predators who commit sexual assault on adult males are not homosexual. It's not about sex, it's about power.
There's always the Man-Boy-Love-Association we could discuss. That may or may not be off topic.
Really? None of the gay guys I know were abused as children. They were born gay; they did not choose it or feel that it was forced upon them because of abuse.
2 gay men adopting a 16 year old boy... Who the hell do they think they are fooling besides some naive hippies?
Anyone who does not find this fishy should stop living in a fantasy world...

Yup, like you, who clearly have an addiction to naughty porn sites and cannot distinguish between fantasy and real life.

Have you ever discussed that topic with them? It's very personal. You would have to be an extremely good friend to be trusted with that information. I'm not saying it flippantly. Every 2 minutes someone over the age of 12 is sexually assaulted in the US. That's a lot of victims. But children are often voiceless victims.
It's a shame there are stereotypes in (for example) the Catholic church and sports organizations. Very well publicized crimes. I doubt we'd be having this discussion if that stereotype wasn't in place. Frequently stereotypes are there for a reason.
