Sexual orientation and crime are totally different issues. Fears that homosexuals will abuse children and convert them into homosexuals too, or will indulge in male rape and spread HIV/AIDS, are unfounded. These fears reflect the fact that ignorance (about sexuality) breeds misconceptions about sexual behavior. Behavioral and medical research have clearly proved that the inborn sexual attraction whether to the opposite sex or to the same, does not lead to criminality. Child sexual abusers are mostly close relatives and persons known to the children and in whom the children repose trust.
