Cameron’s ‘gays’ to paedophilia link
David Cameron’s inadvertant link between homosexuality and paedophilia has sent the media into a bit of a damage-limitation exercise.
In a live interview earlier this week, This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield handed the Prime Minister a card with a list of names on it drawn from the internet, saying that they were people Mr Cameron knew and asking whether he would be talking to them.
Mr Schofield was wrong to dignify gossip in such a way and no-one being interviewed appreciates an ambush. A furious Mr Cameron, who did not look at the names, replied:
“There is a danger, if we’re not careful, that this could turn into a sort of witch-hunt, particularly against people who are gay and I’m worried about the sort of thing you are doing right now – giving me a list of names that you’ve taken off the internet.”
The media attention focused on Mr Schofield, who was scolded for the ‘schoolboy error’ of misjudging a camera angle and showing some eagle-eyed viewers the top two Tory names on his list.
Nobody in the world of media wants to talk even about the possibility of links between homosexuality and paedophilia, or to confuse the public by separating paedophiles into those attracted to adolescents (usually referred to as ‘pederasts’) and those attracted to pro-pubertal children (true paedophiles).
Uncomfortable as it is to admit, Mr Cameron was correct in his slip of the tongue. There is indeed a link between homosexuality and sexual attraction to children.
Those campaigning for the legalisation of paedophilia have always been male homosexuals. The founders of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), Paedophile Action for Liberation (PAL), the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) and the New Zealand based Aotearoa Man-Boy Love Association (AMBLA) were all adult male homosexuals. Ian Dunn, who helped set up PIE, was a leading light in the Scottish Minorities Group, an early homosexual activist group. The Campaign for Homosexual Equality had the abolition of all ages of consent as one of its aims.
It all seemed wonderfully sexually liberated to these activists in the 1970s and early 1980s. PIE even published a book in 1982 called ‘Betrayal of Youth’ (BOY) campaigning against ages of consent, and edited by their Vice-Chairman. Peter Tatchell contributed a chapter to Betrayal of Youth: ‘Questioning Ages of Majority and Ages of Consent’. There has never been any suggestion that Peter Tatchell was or is himself a paedophile, but he helped their cause with his expressed desire to abolish ages of consent.
But if paedophilia is a minority interest in the homosexual world, pederasty is widespread. A cult of youth is a mainstream part of homosexual culture, where magazines with names like ‘Boyz’ and websites are filled with pictures of attractive young men.
In their 1979 book ‘The Gay Report’, Jay and Young, two American homosexuals, revealed that 73% of their fellows had at some time had sex with boys 16-19 or younger. One reported “My lover and I are into many young boys 13-18 years old …” There is no reason to suppose that with lowering of ages of consent and generally more liberal attitudes to under-age sex that today’s homosexual men have suddenly become less inclined to adolescent boys.
The UK Home Office carried out research on cases of indecent assault in 1973, and were able to distinguish between ages of victim as follows. Out of 802 convictions for indecent assault on males, we find the following:
Age of victim: 0-4 5-9 10-11 12-15 16-17 18-20 21+ All 0-15
% of cases: 3.1 32.5 18.6 33.9 4.9 2.8 4.2 88.1%
It is quite common for apologists for homosexuality to assert that ‘heterosexual men are more likely to be paedophiles’, so we need briefly to examine this claim.
For the same year that the Home Office did their research into indecent assault, they also published the figures for assaults on females. There were 3,006, and the ages broke down as follows:
Age of victim: 0-4 5-9 10-12 13-15 16-17 18-20 21+ All 0-15
% of cases: 3.2 24.8 15.4 26.2 7.1 7.8 15. 5 69.6%
Leaving aside for a moment the paedophile/pederast distinction, the total assaults on under-16 males were 18.55% of all convictions (88.1 x 802 / 3808), and those on under-16 females were 54.94% of all convictions (69.6 x 3006 / 3808) . We must assume for the sake of the argument that all the assaults were carried out by men, and also assume, to be generous, that there are 1.5% of men in the UK population who are sadly homosexual.
Then we can say that the 1.5% who are homosexual were responsible for 18.5% of assaults, and the 98.5% who are heterosexual were responsible for 55%, meaning that a homosexual in the statistics was (18.55/1.5) / (54.94/98.5) = 22 times more likely to offend than a heterosexual.
But this is not the whole picture. If heterosexuality is the ability to enter into a complete loving and sexual relationship exclusively with an adult of the opposite sex, then the men convicted of the offences on girls under 16 were not up to the mark either. Jimmy Savile committed his staggering litany of abuse against pubescent girls because he was emotionally unable to form a normal relationship with a woman. He was not ‘heterosexual’ by any reasonable definition.
We must thank Messrs Schofield and Cameron for giving us the opportunity to talk about an issue which is too often kept under wraps, and which has implications wider than their immediate focus at a time when homosexual activists from groups like Stonewall are demanding ever more rights and acceptance.
