Cameron criticised over gay ‘witch-hunt’ remarks
http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2012/11/08...-hunt-remarks/
Quote:
Peter Tatchell said: “It is regrettable that David Cameron has inadvertently reinforced the prejudice that associates gay people with child sex abuse.
“There is no reason why he should link the current scandals with gay people or warn of an anti-gay witch-hunt. The current investigations concern paedophilia, not homosexuality.
“Homosexuality and paedophilia are two very different sexual attractions. Gay people are not paedophiles.”
Stonewall, Britain’s largest gay rights charity, also criticised the prime minister’s remarks.
Director of public affairs Ruth Hunt said: “Speculation about the identity of those involved in child abuse which erroneously conflates sexual orientation with paedophilia does nothing to support the victims of abuse and is unequivocally harmful to gay people."
