The people running the scouts still
will not allow gay leaders. For some reason too many people believe
gay adults are pedophiles, while statistics show otherwise. The
anti-gay people point to a 1988 study (Erickson et al.
(1988). Behavior patterns of child molesters.
Archives of Sexual Behavior, 17, 77-86 ) that says 86% of
the men found molesting boys were gay or bisexual. I dare to argue
that a straight male won't molest young boys, but they will molest
young girls. We can apply the same statistic that 86% of the
molesters of young girls are male. All stats bare out the fact the
majority of child molestation comes from males. If we apply the
logic 86% of child molestation comes from men, then maybe the scouts
should allow only female scoutmasters.
