I wouldn’t be concerned at all about a gay teacher but I’d be very worried to have priests or conservative politicians anywhere near my children.
It still baffles me why this is still a thing (for native English speakers)…
Their
Possessive
that is their dog
There
Referencing something
what’s that over there?
They’re
Contraction of they and are
they’re heading to the movies
Their chicken broke its leg! There used to be a store on the corner. They’re on their way over there!
If you can replace they’re with they are and it still makes sense, that’s the right usage of that word.
it’s a problem for natives because they first learnt English by listening and reapeating what they heard, and spoken all those words sound the same. they only saw them written down years later when learning to read and write
I’d agree if this was regarding children. These are grown ass people who our educational system has royally screwed.
I’m a FULLY STRAIGHT 100% STRAIGHT MALE but every time I’m around a Gay Person my PeePee TWITCHES because of They’re GAY MAGIC!
Not surprising that bigots have low literacy and poor spelling. The bigot wants to learn nothing new. Education risks enlightening them and destroying them (by turning them into no-a-bigot). Put your hands over your / you’re / yer ears and scream LALALALALALALA when someone starts trying to educate you. Especially the gays.
Obv sarcasm at the end, if people aren’t able to tell.
I feel confident that more straight dudes are pedophiles than gay dudes.
Homosexuals are overrepresented in studies on paedophiles, but in absolute numbers there would probably be more straight peaedophiles as there are far more straight people than gay people
Edit: the most recent ratio I found was approx 1.4:1 hetero:homo pedos. Pretty wild considering only 2% of the population is homosexual
Yeah I read some studies about that recently and many of those studies were done in the 1980s and 1990s which I feel was a more biased environment for these particular types of studies. Do you have any links to studies done in the last 15 years?
More biased? Hall & Hall 2007 is the only I recall a date for. Have you tried searching? If so, perhaps the lack of recent studies is due to the taboo or potential career suicide of correlating homosexuals and paedophilia now
I have tried searching, I guess it goes both ways. In the old days, homophobia was in the air, so that skews studies. Today, anti homophobia could potentially skew studies.
That’s the difference between homosexual and gay. Yes, homosexual pedos are more common, but the perpetrator hardly ever lives as an openly gay man (nor is he attracted to adult men).
Gay people and homo pedos are simply two distinct groups
Isnt it also that in most cases “pedo” takes priority over “hetero/homo”. Basically if you are attracted to children, the genders doesnt really matter. But usually men have easier access to boys than to girls so more often, reported cases are of homosexual paedophilia.
