... continuing my readings and research on child abuse, man I don't
believe this dude's figures. 46 percent of gay men report sexual abuse,
compared to 7 percent for straight men in one survey.
For all cases of detrimental child abuse the figure would easily exceed
90 percent for gay men!
Even if gay men are more likely to report abuse, this cannot account for
these figures.
Lower but still significantly high figures are reported by lesbians and
combined LGBTI figures are way higher then average.
Most of this research is very recent and it has only been a couple of
decades since any real research has been done into child abuse. (My work
and interest in this field started around 1993.)
If anyone knows of any research, let me know. (I am running out of
energy doing my own lit searches and want to get lazy...)
