UK IP candidate: ‘Homosexuals are ten times more likely than normal men to be child abusers’

A UKIP local election candidate in Liverpool has linked homosexuality to paedophilia.

Paul Forrest described the Catholic Church as the “anti-Christ” on Facebook and said that gay men are “ten times more likely” to be child abusers than “normal men”.

Mr Forrest also said the “end of Islam is coming” and that its followers who refuse to ‘turn to Christ’ will be “gone”.

Former Labour minister David Lammy said the country was “on the cusp of a serious bit of self-mutilation” in backing UKIP.

A wife and children. LOL! The catholic priests aren't gay, they're freaks. Is there an island we could ship all these assholes onto, and they can discover each other, and their Jebus.

Sexual repression - no sex, no masturbation, etc. - is generally not healthy, and tends to breed pathological behavior.

Luckily, most American Catholics seem to more or less ignore the Church's actual teachings - but those who don't are likely to be messed up people in general.

Actually pedophilia is slightly LOWER amongst gay men than the general male population.
