At Mass Resistance Event, Speaker Warns Gay Men Are Preying On Young Teens Via Gay-Straight Allian

Last week, the Texas chapter of the vehement anti-LGBTQ group MassResistance held a “Teens4Truth” conference in Dallas, aimed at teaching teenagers and their parents topics such as “how to counter LGBT issues in your schools” and “how LGBT activists are influencing your children.”

In one panel discussion, activists Jennifer Delgado, Sharon Armke and Caryl Ayala warned attendees of an “education onslaught” being carried out by LGBTQ activists in Texas public schools. Delgado warned that one of the ways LGBTQ activists are pushing their agenda is by using gay-straight alliances to “recruit” teens.

“Gay-straight alliances—you really have to watch out these because these are adult homosexuals coming into the schools to mentor kids and we know that there is a problem with adults preying on young teens, especially in the male homosexual community,” Delgado said. “It’s how they recruit them, and they’re doing it in the school through these gay-straight alliances.”

And they're the ones more likely to be involved in horrifying sex crimes or child abuse crimes.

5. Yep, we see that all the time, they go on crusades and do psychological projection.

"Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others."

sexual abuse is higher in heterosexuals than homosexuals. It had nothing to do with the fact that there are more heterosexuals than homosexuals. Go figure.

8. A study was done in 1988 ( but I don't imagine the numbers have changed appreciably)

among convicts in prison for sexual offenses, including with child victims.

98% of convicted child molesters were self-described heterosexuals.

Only 2% were self-described homosexuals.

2% is lower than the percentage of gays in the general population. So, statistically speaking, gays are less likely than straights to commit sexual offenses with children.

But you'll never get these whackos to understand that.

I'd link to the study if I could remember the name of it, and who conducted it.

Every time someone uses homophobia to shore up an attack on someone from the right, they are feeding into the bullshit you see in this article. Casual bigotry, or homophobia lite, if you prefer, is just as damaging as regular homophobia and shores up people's heterosexist attitudes and homophobic nonsense.
