There's an even more basic premise at work here that has nothing to do with LGBTQ matters: Entrusting your children with church people gets them abused. Not 100% of the time but it drastically increases the odds.

Doesn't matter what church, denomination, etc. It's a universal rule that's been around for thousands of years across many different religions. Allow people with no qualifications and designs for power to become authorities and you have a recipe for abuse.

In my city it has been three sources of abuse that make the news:

Churches. Scouts. Public School Teachers.

Turns out predators seek out positions that give them access. Not on this list are the source of abuse for the most common abuse: mommy's boyfriend. These cases don't make the news.
