	Independent Gay Forum - False Bennett: Gay-Bashing by the Numbers
		Over the years he has also argued that gay men are responsible for up to one half of all child abuse cases (despite making up maybe two percent of the population), that they are ten to 20 times more likely to molest children than heterosexuals, and that fully half of all sex murderers are homosexuals.
		Satinover has argued in print that all gay men are pathological and compulsive; that the most effective policy for them is a fundamentalist religious conversion; and that the Renaissance "could have just as easily been called 'The Great Death,'" since it killed off the anti-pagan hegemony of "Judeo-Christianity" in favor of modern science.
		It is that Bennett considers gay men and women so beneath and beyond the concern of real society that it is incumbent upon him merely to echo the stigmas that perpetuate their exclusion.

		I don't of course deny that hatred of gays exists, and when it does its probably a complex problem, possibly with roots in the person's own past or his problems with his own sexuality.
		But the more usual problem is ignorance, and as you seem to have discovered at work, the best solution for that is simply letting the guys get to know you and realise that their attitudes are unfounded.
		A friend was telling me how with the gay helpline run by the Naz project they think that a lot of the more aggressive calls they are getting, like those asking them if they are a pimping service, are coming to them from cops.

		For six gay friends from New York enjoying a Caribbean holiday on the island of St. Maarten, the brutal attacks on two of them in the early morning hours of April 6 were ghastly reminders that homophobic violence can strike even in the toniest of tourist destinations.
		The problems the gay men encountered began when they traveled from their villa on the French-controlled part of St. Maarten to Bamboo Bernie’s, a popular nightspot on the island’s Dutch side.
		Swensen told Gay City News that he and Smith heard the men use the term “batty boys,” Jamaican slang roughly meaning “faggots.” According to Jefferson, the two young gay men were also informed by staff at Bamboo Bernie’s, in what he termed semi-hostile fashion, that the club was not a gay bar.

		However, “when a gay individual is in a position of influence and uses that influence to harm other members of the gay community, then outing that person is justified,” Lynch said.
