Come on, you can do the research yourself before maligning an entire subset of the human race. There's no excuse not to considering how easy access to the Internet makes it. With a quick Boolean search, I pulled up more than three dozen studies or comprehensive reviews of literature in under five seconds, and choose just a few below that noted medical and epidemiological authorities reference repeatedly. But there are at least many other dozens. The consensus among biomedical, genetic, and populational research scholars is two-fold:
1) Studies that claim to show a relationship between homosexuality and propensity for child molestation suffer from egregious methodological bias via, among other fatal deficits, not respecting an elementary prerequisite for valid statistical inference, namely failing to provide for a random probability sample, in the same way valid inference about the population at large can't be drawn from assessing morbidity in a sample of hospital in-patients.
2) The overall peer-reviewed literature doesn't demonstrate any convergent, statistically valid evidence that gay men are any more likely than straight men to molest children.
Before someone lambastes an entire group and arouses easily incited mob-hatred, she/he ought to have solid evidence to justify her/his condemning assertions.

This appears to be our governments way of politely saying MALE FAGGOTS molest children at a far greater rate then that of heterosexuals...
Check out Websters definition of "androphilic": showing preference for males or for humans as distinguished from animals...
The illegitimate supposed word "androphilic" is only used to take the heat off of the fact that FAGGOTS are child molesters, it's the same concept as throwing dispersant on a massive oil spill catastrophe, the only accomplishment is damage control and the hell with the environment.
Do you understand my analogy? The environment is the common man and throwing a dispersant on crude oil in a pool of water doesn't accomplish anything but make the scenery more slightly and the hell with the FAGGOT societal pollution.
I understand the argument you're trying to make, however, the fact remains that there is no cumulative, convergent, quantitatively rigorous evidence to support it. Period. Collusion of external perceptions of tastes and predilection for crime is neither scientifically valid nor public policy-wise responsible or ethical.
From your word choice (including assigning "fact" to your opinion) and emphatic use of all-caps, however, it's clear where your personal, empirically unjustifiable biases lie, and how those prejudices influence your own judgments and claims--all which I'm confident others who read/hear your ... comments ... become quickly aware of.
I don't mean to be rude, but there's really no reason for us to continue the conversation.
It's not about "convincing." It's about rational arguments formed on convergent, rigorous, objective evidence over long stretches of time, made in different research settings the globe over. The tobacco industry wasn't "convinced" by the weight of the amassing medical evidence linking tobacco smoke with lung cancer, either. But that's exactly why empiricism is humanity's best means of discerning what's true. The overwhelming biomedical, anthropological, and historical evidence supports the evolutionary model of homosexuality as a natural variation, not just of human behavior, but of animal behavior across the animal kingdom.
You're welcome to your perspective. Just don't be surprised that very many, including very many of the planet's brightest minds, disagree with you.
Is it normal that I can't stand age restrictions?

You're not going to convince me I've looked a bit too far into this subject a couple years ago and have made up my mind.
