Has anyone pointed out yet that most child abusers are heterosexual?

Does lesbian and gay parenting harm children?
No. There is absolutely no empirical evidence to support the claim that LGBT parenting harms children. Psychologist Charlotte Patterson reports that "not a single study has found children of gay or lesbian parents to be disadvantaged in any significant respect relative to children of heterosexual parents. To the contrary, social science research indicates that LGBT individuals and same-sex couples can parent as well as their heterosexual counterparts and, in fact, may be better at managing disagreements than heterosexual parents. Children of gay and lesbian parents are as happy, healthy and emotionally well-adjusted as other children, have good relationships with their peers (although sometimes they are subject to anti-gay harassment), and are less inclined to hold stereotypical understandings of gender roles and more likely to be tolerant of differences in others. Research on transgender parents has made similar findings.
Are married heterosexual parents better than lesbian and gay parents?
No. Studies show that lesbians and gay men make just as good parents as their heterosexual counterparts, and that the presence of a married father and mother is not a prerequisite to good outcomes for children.
Are lesbian and gay individuals more likely to sexually abuse children?
No. The link between pedophilia and homosexuality is completely unfounded. A 1998 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association notes one study that determined that 90 percent of pedophiles are men, and that 98 percent of these individuals are heterosexual. Michael Stevenson, Ph.D., a psychologist at Ball State University, explains this statistic by noting that "gay men desire consensual sexual relations with other adult men. Pedophiles are usually adult men who are sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children. They are rarely sexually attracted to other adults." Stevenson observes that cases of pedophilia by adult lesbians are "almost non-existent." Two other major studies that examined the sexual orientation of convicted child molesters found that less than 1 percent in one study and 0 percent in the other were lesbian or gay. These studies were published in Pediatrics and Archives of Sexual Behavior, respectively, two peer-reviewed, widely respected academic journals. Preventing gay men and lesbians from becoming adoptive parents or foster parents does not protect children from sexual abuse. It simply perpetuates anti-gay prejudice.

Originally posted by Dace Aceum... you missed my contradictory information, 98% of pedifiles are heterosexual (that means they are straight). some experts think that number could be higher due to the number of girls who never report their molestations.
Wow, and you study macroeconomic's?
If 1 to 3% of a population is conducting 1/3 of all sex crimes against child, even a simple rock crusher like me can recognize that is huge.
edit: this means that a higher percentage of straight people are pedifiles than gay people

It's a figure plucked out of the homophobic air endorsed by some agenda-driven well-remunerated quack which he probably got from a fellow homophobe in a Yahoo Messenger chat room or maybe he just typed in the smallest numbers he thought he could get away with. Only duecer has called him on it.
