AS the Penn State Scandal Deepens, AFA Blames the Gays

As a number of outlets are reporting, the cesspool of a scandal at Penn State may be about to take a further turn for the worse if rumors that Jerry Sandusky and Second Mile were pimping out young boys to rich donors prove true. Pam Spaulding looks at the horrid scandal - which seems to also connect with the suspicious unsolved disappearance of Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar who was ready to charge Sandusky back in 2005 - and correctly speculates:

[M]any, many people high in the food chain at Penn State knew more about Sandusky’s “problem,” and at this point, it’s only a matter of time before the full underbelly of sordid behavior by powerful people is going to see daylight.

Obviously, many involved in the cover up to protect the university's image and reputation were heterosexuals, but according to hate group AFA's hate merchant in chief, Bryan Fischer, it's all the fault of the gays. Here's a video of Fischer's anti-gay rant

Queerty has a good come back to Fischer's bullshit and hate. Here's a sampling:

“It’s a simple stubborn fact that homosexuals molest children at much higher rates than the heterosexual population,” Fischer explains. Except that it’s a simple stubborn fact that accused molester Jerry Sandusky identified as heterosexual and was married with children. And also it’s a simple stubborn fact that that most molesters are men who prey on girls.

Fischer trots out the old canard that gay men are “ten times” more likely to be child molesters, but he doesn’t really back up his claim. He just throws out the names of a new British journals whose research methods have been called into serious question. (They only surveyed convicted pedophiles, for example.)

So yes, some homosexuals molest children but not because they’re gay.

That’s all besides the point, though—Sandusky (who is a straight married man with two sons by the way) is a monster no matter what his orientation. His crimes are not what make this whole situation so outrageous. In fact, men like Sandusky barely make the newspaper anymore. It was the organized cover-up by people in charge—people who should’ve known better—that is so reprehensible. (Gosh, that sounds awfully familiar.)

So where is the outrage from Fischer, Maggie Gallagher, etc. at the Penn State staffers, the rioting students and the knee-jerk sportswriters putting a damn football game ahead of the welfare of innocents?
