It's really amazing these ridiculous troll posts don't get deleted. They are a real embarrasement to the integrity of the website. What about rape? Why don't we castagate all heterosexual men as rapists? Also, date rape drug use incidents have increased significantly with the straight male population. And what about Jerry Sandusky? He's a straight guy who molested boys.
Straight men don't prefer to have sex with boys, unless they are closet bisexuals. Sandusky just preferred male sexual partners that he could dominate and control.
The way I look at this ... we don't yet know what's fact and what's fiction, or how what was confiscated was interpreted ... accurately or not. Time will tell. If the man was viewing these photos that's one thing. If he had contact with children it's another. There's a fine line here regarding personal freedom to do things in your home without government intrusion, if you are not abusing someone. And then there's the argument that can be made that someone viewing such images, any pornographic images, is providing support for forms of abuse ... indirectly (directly if images are paid for). We can search the internet and in 5 minutes find hundreds of links to news articles chronicling the arrest of community leaders, politicians, religious persons, and just average John and Jane Doe's for similar allegations. I agree with the earlier comment that pedophiles aren't "gay" or "straight", they're in a class all to their own comprised of similarly ill persons.

By all accounts, Sandusky was a heterosexual man, and a pedophile. Not a homosexual who enjoyed the company of "male sexual partners" but someone who plotted to abuse children sexually.

Pedophiles have a preference for one sex or the other.
Pedophiles are heterosexual and homosexual in their attraction to children
Man attracted to boys = Homosexual Pedophile.
You realize you just made her point. Gays aren't attracted to little boys. Gay Pedophiles are

Exactly. Homosexual and Heterosexual are orientations describing a preference for ADULT secondary sex characteristics.
His choice of boys appears to be driven largely in part by ACCESS to boys... just like with priests and ACCESS to boys vs. girls.
Every gay guy I know likes MEN. Usually, the more masculine/built and endowed, the better. Not boys.
Is there a subset of gay guys who enjoys them on the younger (not children) side? Of course. But that's the same for heterosexuals. There is more than one heterosexual father who must admit looking twice at their teenage daughter's best friend, or enjoying the high school cheerleaders at the homecoming game a little TOO much.
Again, however, these are teenagers displaying ADULT secondary sex characteristics, so it's creepyish, but not the same as going after prepubescent children. THAT is a whole 'nother ball game, distinct from attraction to adults of the same sex.
The people in this forum have to be the most obstinate individuals on the planet.
Gay does not equal pedophile.
An adult who preys on children of the same sex is a homosexual pedophile. An adult who preys on children of the opposite is a heterosexual pedophile. The only common denominator is pedophile. If you believe anything different you are an idiot.

No. You are misrepresenting Blanchard. Blanchard specifically refers to gay men as homosexual teleiophiles (adult men who are attracted to adult men). And his most recent study proves that gay men have no more interest sexually in children than straight men do. (Just like ALL the studies in the past 60 years have shown) Do Gay Men Have More Sexual Interest in Children than Straight Men Do? | Psychology Today
"Another problem related to terminology arises because sexual abuse of male children by adult men2 is often referred to as "homosexual molestation." The adjective "homosexual" (or "heterosexual" when a man abuses a female child) refers to the victim's gender in relation to that of the perpetrator. Unfortunately, people sometimes mistakenly interpret it as referring to the perpetrator's sexual orientation."
It's interesting to think that sexual attraction to children is thought to be a mental illness, but sexual attraction to the same gender simply couldn't be...God forbid that be possible.
What I find 'interesting' is that you don't understand the difference.
Straight men don't prefer to have sex with boys, unless they are closet bisexuals. Sandusky just preferred male sexual partners that he could dominate and control.
Are you saying that you think straight men would prefer to have sex with young girls? Are you serious?
Are you a straight man? Do you find the idea of having sex with a young girl preferable to having sex with a young boy?
Most straight men I know would find the whole idea of having sex with a child (of either gender) sickening.
Same goes for all the gay men I know.
