So let's see... in the official database, there are 1811 known offenders per million in the State of California (which is one of the highest numbers of all the states). Let's assume that half the population is men, which means 1811 out of 500,000.
....Let's get something straight here: They're GAY... attracted to adults of the same gender... not pedophiles who are attracted to children.
I think the mathematic application does not fairly address my concern. It only addresses "known pedophiles" which is likely a small percentage of actual pedophiles and it assumes a random collection of the populace vs. a likely significant greater concentration because of predators.
I clearly agree that there is a difference between being gay and being a pedophile (although clearly one could be both as one hears horror stories of boys being molested by men).
The concern would be a conspiracy between two pedophiles (gay or no) to use liberalized adoption laws to victimize children. In other words it would not be a random occurrence but an intentional crime therefore the math fails to represent the threat).
For example the child molesters who joined the Roman Catholic church as priests to victimize children created a greater concentration than random collection in the general public. It would still be a small percentage but the damage/horror done to the innocent would be an abomination.
