PERKINS: Were talking about comparing immutable characteristics with characteristics that are not immutable. First, the Boy Scouts have had a long history of struggling with an issue of protecting the boys.

OBRIEN: Are you saying that someone who is gay is a pedophile, Sir?
PERKINS: No, I never said that. You said that. I didnt.
OBRIEN: Im asking the question. You are saying that you would be worried about

There is a disproportionate number of male on boy when we get on pedophilia, male on boy is a higher incident rate of that. We never said all homosexuals are pedophiles. thats not what were saying.
