Why do you assume he is homosexual?

Did you have some kind of point to make besides "look at those awful gays?" Especially in light of the fact that pedophile does not equal gay?

The prevalence of child sexual abuse is difficult to determine because it is often not reported; experts agree that the incidence is far greater than what is reported to authorities. CSA is also not uniformly defined, so statistics may vary. Statistics below represent some of the research done on child sexual abuse.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Children’s Bureau report Child Maltreatment 2010 found that 9.2% of victimized children were sexually assaulted (page 24).



Studies by David Finkelhor, Director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center, show that:
  • 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 20 boys is a victim of child sexual abuse;
  • Self-report studies show that 20% of adult females and 5-10% of adult males recall a childhood sexual assault or sexual abuse incident;
Child Sexual Abuse Statistics
Myths about child sexual assault

Myth 3. Homosexuals are more likely than heterosexuals to assault children.
FALSE. Offenders are most commonly heterosexual men, even if the victim is a boy. Many offenders are married men who live with a partner and children.

Child Sexual Assault: Myths and Facts

Myth 4 — Most men who sexually abuse boys are gay.

Studies about this question suggest that men who have sexually abused a boy most often identify as heterosexual and often are involved in adult heterosexual relationships at the time of abusive interaction. There is no indication that a gay man is more likely to engage in sexually abusive behavior than a straight man and some studies even suggest it is less likely. But sexual abuse is not a sexual “relationship,” — it’s an assault. The sexual orientation of the abusive person is not really relevant to the abusive interaction. A man who sexually abuses or exploits boys is not engaging in a homosexual interaction – any more than men who sexually abuse or exploit girls are engaging in heterosexual behavior. He is a deeply confused individual who, for various reasons, desires to sexually use or abuse a child, and has acted on that desire. (See Why Do People Sexually Use or Abuse Children?)

He is a male and his sexual preference was boys. Just like there are straight males that have sexual preference for little girls. And then I am sure there is sexual predators that have no preference to the sex of a child. So far all we know is both of his victims are of the same sex which would make him gay , right?

No, that's not how it works, but it's a commonly held myth. His "sexual preference" was more than likely to be adult women.

Look up any study - the majority of men who sexually abuse boys are heterosexual men. True fixated pedophiles with no adult sexual orientation only make up a small percentage of child sexual abusers.

For example, this was a major study of over 4000 child molesters in the US:
"While it is a commonly held belief that men who prefer men as adult sex partners molest boys and men who prefer women as adult sex partners molest girls, our study results suggest something different.
..
The 1,038 men who molested boys reported a range of adult sexual preferences. Contrary to popular belief, only 8 percent reported that they were exclusively homosexual in their adult preferences."

Probably not. The odds are that he is a straight dude with poor impulse control.

I can not read your link since I am at work but I will. But what percentage of bi males molest boys? I would at least count them as half gay, right?

What if it is proven that he is gay?

Homosexuals claim to want "equality" - which they already have.

They should be willing to be equal in a negative light as well as .... Harrier was going to say positive, but he can find nothing positive about homosexuality.

No, that's not right.

It's possible this man is gay. It's possible this man is straight. It's possible this man is bisexual. It's possible this man has no adult sexual orientation at all and is only attracted to children.

As to his attraction to children, it's possible he's only attracted to boys. It's also possible he's attracted to children - both boys and girls. That's very often the case, and the molester then victimizes kids he has access to - usually girls if there are girls in his family, or boys if he needs to go outside the family to find a kid to victimize (men have better access to boys in our society than they do girls).
