There are plenty of websites which claim to cite research proving the complete opposite.

Look, I found one in 5 seconds without trying: http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Evils%20in%20America/Sodomy/homosexual_child_molesters.htm

When you say ambiguous and vague things such as "many serious studies show that heterosexuals are more prone to child molestation" and the studies you're citing don't even bother to correct statistics based on gays being a minority I think I'm justified in stating that those statitics look biased.

It remains in question as to whether or not molestation of children is different from molestation of adults.

Just as a straight man wouldn't be likely to walk into a bar and hit on other men, it may naturally follow that a straight person wouldn't molest children who were like gendered. At the very least you would need to provide evidence that child molestation is fundamentally different from different forms of sexual assault.

In terms of priests... I don't care if the compulsory celibacy causes distortions. I've always thought they should be allowed to marry. Whether or not it represents a tiny percentage of pedophilia cases its a problem and one that needs to be addressed and solved. Who cares if its a minority issue - its still worth talking about and still worth fixing if possible.
