The old tried and true strategy of scapegoating gays when Republicans get into trouble is coming into play yet again. This time it's because Mark Foley came out after being outed as a pedophile. Some on the radical right almost seem gleeful in their pronouncements that all gays are perverts (and not the good kind). Among the reality-based community, we know that gross generalization is demonstrably false. This includes the American Academy of Pediatrics, which found:

The children in the group studied were unlikely to have been molested by identifiably gay or lesbian people.

Does it happen? Of course. But at the same rates as heterosexuals, who make up between 90% and 98% of the population.
