A gay doctor who is one of Louisiana’s only specialist paediatric cardiologists has left the state after the introduction of a Don’t Say Gay copycat bill and a ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth.
Jake Kleinmahon, who was one of just three doctors specialising in heart transplants for children in Louisiana, chose to leave the state with his family, as they no longer felt safe.
Kleinmahon met and fell in love with his husband Tom in New Orleans, and the couple expected remain in Louisiana, even after retirement. However, he told CNN that the state’s anti-LGBTQ+ legislation made him and his family feel unwelcome and that he ultimately “didn’t have a choice”.
Gay men are not pedophiles. Gay men are interested in other men, not children. Don’t be a bigot.

They aren’t “exclusively homosexuals” because they’re pedophiles. And that’s a much smaller percentage than so-called heterosexual pedophiles, so why aren’t you worried about heterosexual doctors?

Yes. Pedophilia is a sexuality, and if you insult me again, I will block you.
So one is born a pedophile? Typically your crowd claims people are born with their sexualities, and they cannot be changed.
What is my crowd?

I’m not “pro-LGBT,” I’m pro human rights and human dignity. That applies to everyone regardless of their sexuality.
And yes, some pedophiles are born that way. Others are very psychologically damaged due to the abuse they themselves suffered. Still others just enjoy having power over an innocent and it’s not even about sex. The world is not as black-and-white as you seem to think it is where all gay men are pedophiles and all straight men love and protect children.
79% of male convicted pedophiles in the US are heterosexual. That’s a much higher number.
So a fraction of a fraction means that this one gay doctor is a pedo?
@Finnish_nationalisti The only conclusion you can make from that is that the vast majority of child molestation is done by heterosexual men (which has been backed up in the research time and time again). Also churches and other religious institutions play a disproportionate role in child abuse. Want to keep your kids safe? Keep them away from church.

@Finnish_nationalisti You’ve missed the point entirely.
Sorry, i mistook you for the other commentor. Although my point still stands. The majority of pedophiles are heterosexuals yes, because 95% of the populace (in US) is heterosexual. But 21% of pedophiles are homosexual, while only around 5% of the populace is homosexual, meaning homosexuals are statistically way more likely to be pedophiles.
With quick maths when there are 750 000 registered child predators, of which 21% are homosexual, that means there are 157 000 homosexual child predators. That means 0,009 pedophiles per homosexual. The same number for heterosexuals is 0,0019 pedophiles per heterosexual. This means a homosexual is almost five times (4,7) more likely to be a pedophile compared to a heterosexual.
That is quite a significant difference, and certainly warrants discussion wouldn’t you say? Why is brining up these numbers forbidden?
