Tony Perkins lies on homosexuality and child sexual abuse

Tony Perkins, who recently led the FRC Action Values Voter Summit, is at it again with his hate and lies against homosexuals. Media Matters reports how Tony Perkins falsely claims that "homosexual men are more likely to abuse children than straight men".

The truth is, child sexual abusers are more likely to be heterosexual, religious, right-wing white males, just like Tony Perkins and his audience of right-wing pseudo-Christian fascists.

Media Matters - Perkins claimed that "homosexual men are more likely to abuse children than straight men"; experts disagree

Summary: Amid the scandal surrounding former Rep. Mark Foley, Family Research Council (FRC) president Tony Perkins has promoted the falsehood that gay men are more likely than straight men to sexually abuse children.
In recent days, Family Research Council (FRC) president Tony Perkins has used the emerging scandal surrounding former Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) to promote a falsehood about gay men -- that they are more likely than straight men to sexually abuse children, based on the claim that homosexuals are overrepresented in child sex abuse cases. In fact, a 1995 study released by the American Psychological Association found that "gay men are no more likely than heterosexual men to perpetrate child sexual abuse"; the argument that homosexuals are overrepresented in such cases is based on what John Hopkins University psychiatrist Frederick Berlin has described as the "flawed assumption" that men who abuse young boys are also attracted to grown men.
