What Do You Think the Statistics of Homosexual Child Molestation Means?

Question by Sam’s TooCan: What do you think the statistics of Homosexual Child molestation means?
Statistics show that the majority of child molestation is homosexual in nature. A man molesting a boy.
Why do you think this is? You’d think it would be equal percentages right?

Best answer:

Answer by dear ghoul
No, guys are more sexually aggressive by nature, so gay pedos are gonna show up in the stats way way more.

Answer by Philip H
A straight pedophile can have sex with young female adults. A homosexual pedophile can’t escape ridicule even if he has sex with young male adults. Might as well go all the way and do young males period.

Like my logic, right? 😉
