Boys Be Ware
Here's an "interesting video":http://www.archive.org/details/boys_beware put out by the Inglewood Police Department in 1961. It's an attempt to try to educate young boys about child sex offenders, except they refer to the sex offenders as "homosexuals". Some of the scenes kinda reminded me of "Mysterious Skin":http://imdb.com/title/tt0370986/, the men picking up boys in the park. My favorite quote, "Jimmy didn't realize (he was).... riding in the shadow of death!".
So I'd like to pass it off with, yea, but that movie was 1961. But still today there's arguments like "this one":http://www.frc.org/get.cfm?i=IS02E3 from the good Christians at "Family Research Coucil":http://www.frc.org/ ("Family, Faith, and ... Freedom", cause, you know, it starts with an "F"). They say since (according to research they feel is more accurate) only 1% of men are gay, if more than 1% of child sex offenders are gay, then a disproportionate number of homosexuals are sex offenders, and that's why we shouldn't let gay people lead boy scout troops. Thank God for those Christians, always spreading the love of God everywhere.
I've heard widely varying statistics about the straight vs. gay percentages of child sex offenders. My poking around for something more concrete only yielded the "Findings from _National Juvenile Online Victimization Study_":http://www.missingkids.com/en_US/publications/NC144.pdf by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Its only indication to sexual preference:
Sixty-two percent of arrested [Child Pornography] possessors had pictures of mostly girls. Fourteen percent had pictures of mostly boys, and 15% had pictures showing girls and boys in about equal numbers. "
