Is there more than one Harold Herr? When I google the name the results that come up are for the guy who was arrested in 2013 in Lancaster for kidnapping a 5 year old girl: https://www.pennlive.com/midstate/2013/ ... _gu_1.html I'm not up on the CAM circles over there on the other side of the country so I don't know who any of these people are except as names mentioned here.Josh wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 3:46 pmBiased, fake research. Nobody's gonna publish any research nowadays showing the truth (sexual abuse goes along with deviant sexuality).Ken wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 2:29 pmGay folks are no more likely to commit abuse than straight folks: https://psychology.ucdavis.edu/rainbow/ ... ation.html
I don't think we need to talk about "gay" and "straight", but rather draw this distinction:Most of the child molesters in the CA churches are, in fact, straight and many are married. So in terms of percentages, it is probably the married straight men who merit the most monitoring.
- Proper sexuality is between a man and a woman, in marriage, or leading up to marriage.
- Anything else is perverse.
I'm not sure if one can even figure if H. Herr is gay or straight (animals were involved), but that was a pretty perverse situation. His sexuality was most certainly his employer's business.
Likewise, J. Mast, I'm not sure if "gay" or "straight" are useful terms, although his victims were young males - but his sexuality there was also absolutely something his employer should have been aware of and looking into.
In any event, pedophiles are a different category from gay or straight. They are generally obsessed with prepubescent children male or female. Except that for most male pedophiles, it is far easier to find access to male victims because men are rarely put in charge of girls without supervision but often put in charge of boys (scouting, coaching etc.) as was the case with J. Mast. He was put in charge of male orphans but not female ones.
