Miss California’s church says pedophilia is central to the gay lifestyle
I think the religious right’s newest bimbo mascot isn’t going to be doing any more media for a while after this revelation. Alvin from Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters found the following (and lots more) on the Web site of Miss California’s church:

There are also moral repercussions stemming from homosexual behavior as evidenced by the fact that one third of all sexual crimes against children are committed by homosexuals even though they are representative of only one percent of the population. Pedophilia has even been called central to the gay lifestyle. The agenda of the North American Man Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) is to lower the age of consent so that sex with children will be legal.

For anyone living under a rock, the homosexuality-pedophilia canard was debunked three decades ago. What’s worse, the “research” Miss C’s church is quoting – they also claim that 30% of gay men will die or get AIDS by the time they’re 30 – appears to come from a known hate group (as designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center) led by one Paul Cameron, a quack researcher thrown out of all the top professional societies in his field.
So, Miss California may have been influenced in her attitudes towards gays by the research of a known hate group. I can’t wait for her next interview.
