As millions of queer kids start school this week, many will be learning at home with parents who believe that being LGBTQ is a sin.

    There’s an even more basic premise at work here that has nothing to do with LGBTQ matters: Entrusting your children with church people gets them abused. Not 100% of the time but it drastically increases the odds.

    Doesn’t matter what church, denomination, etc. It’s a universal rule that’s been around for thousands of years across many different religions. Allow people with no qualifications and designs for power to become authorities and you have a recipe for abuse.

      In my city it has been three sources of abuse that make the news:

      Churches. Scouts. Public School Teachers.

      Turns out predators seek out positions that give them access. Not on this list are the source of abuse for the most common abuse: mommy’s boyfriend. These cases don’t make the news.
