Why are news agencies hushing up the gay factor in the boys rape?

News agencies gagging 'gay' factor in boy's rape

But coverage beyond bonkers for fake Duke lacrosse assault

Editor's note: The content of this story is graphic in nature and may be objectionable to some readers.

News coverage of a Duke University official accused of raping his adopted 5-year-old son and offering the child to someone else is apparently lacking what some say is a key piece of information: the fact the alleged perpetrator is a homosexual who lives with another "gay" man.

Frank Lombard, associate director of the Health Inequalities Program at the university's Center for Health Policy, was arrested last Wednesday in Raleigh, N.C., for attempting to induce someone to cross state lines to engage in sex with the child, who is black.

The arrest affidavit goes into graphic detail of Lombard's alleged actions, including alleged performance of oral sex with the child in front of a webcam, and sodomizing the boy with his finger and tongue. It also prominently cites the fact that Lombard is a homosexual living with another "gay" man.

In his online profile, Lombard reportedly describes himself as "perv dad for fun."

But days after the case broke, there have been few, if any, mentions in news stories that Lombard is part of a homosexual couple raising children.

In reports by the Associated Press, CNN and ABC News, for instance, the "gay" factor is never brought up.

A Lexis-Nexis news database search by WND using search terms "Frank Lombard" and "homosexual" or "gay" resulted in just four results, none of which were any major media......Snip)

Because political correctness and honesty don't mix.

It's an ethical debate and sensitive issue with a potential for explosion. Journalists need to filter informations to what pertains to the meat of the story and this story is the man's cruel actions toward a child and child prostitution. Ethics come in when the potential gay partner may be an innocent in the matter and know nothing about it. The journalist have to discriminate if the information will do more harm than good such as not broadcasting on air the calls to 911 from the Twin Towers on 9/11 or in more local instances showing video of the body of a victim at a crime scene.

If he had raped a little girl would it read "Straight man in a heterosexual relationship molests female child"? No, of course not. And why? Because it's not ###### relevant.

Homosexuals molesting minors is an anomaly in the gay community. That's why it's not mentioned. It's not indicative of a trend or pattern.

Unless you think otherwise, in which case you oughta really say so.

if you wish to slur the gay community by offering up false information to the contrary, please feel free to do so. homophobia is well tolerated on this site, should be no problem.

Danno,

Do you think that homosexuality means that a person is attracted to children of the same gender as yourself? And if so, are you then implying that you, a heterosexual, are attracted to young girls? Help me to understand what you are implying.

Child raping is a horrible, ugly story. There is no joy or winners in a topic like this.

Indeed. Another one the geniuses here thought through very thoroughly..

Danno,

The point of the story is the lack of detailed info which would commonly accompany any such story.

If this were a normal relationship the report would certainly include details about a wife or girl friend.

The part that is most remarkable is the virtual lock-step ignoring of these details by the media.

Perhaps someone could recall another such story where a child is abused in the home and no mention of other adults living there and what their relations are.

As to your question.

I am not implying anything (in this news story) except, the unorthodox way details are being reported.

I do not think homosexuality= attraction to children.

However one can not ignore that nagging fact that gay men are around 2-5% of the population yet they huge numbers of boys molested (perhaps a third of cases).

Seems we have a fear or willingness in the media to "not go there" that balance on these topics fail to see the light of day.

I think you'd have to be specific then about what news agencies didn't mention that the perpetrator was in a gay relationship with another man, look over exactly what information was given, etc. This is a developing story. I'm not sure where you got this piece, but if they are trying to establish some kind of pattern of omission by the news media, they're jumping the gun.

As for your stats on homosexual pedophiles - you said 'perhaps a third of child molestation cases.' By that logic, you are suggesting that heterosexual people (2/3 of all cases) have a real issue with pedophilia.

From what I've read, pedophiles most often were victims themselves, and may lead a life of homosexuality once they reach adulthood. Perhaps the trauma of being molested can diversely affect their sense of sexuality? That doesn't mean that homosexuality is the cause for deviant behavior, but homosexual tendencies can come about from sexual abuse in childhood.

Exactly. They seem to think gay couple pedding a 5 year old black kid isn't worth reporting. If it is so unusual you'd think the media would highlight it. You can bet if the perps were preachers they'd blast that one out even the religious orientation has nothing to do with the crime.

Most straight guys aren't molestors either but since they are the vast majority in society of course there will be more of them molesting. There's also fewer gay murderers but for the same reason as above.

You think that a pedophile's sexual orientation is relevant to their behavior? If so, how?
