The abuse cases weren't happening after gay [people were permitted to join the BSA.
Why are you so determined to believe that gay people are child abusers, despite the facts saying otherwise?
Because the known facts do not necessarily say otherwise.
Why are you so determined to believe that the sexual abuse of boys did not increase during the period of time after 2015 when gays became part of the boy scouts ?
You say;
"The abuse cases weren't happening after gay [people were permitted to join the BSA.
n the 1920s, the organization began keeping confidential files on those volunteers prevented from serving due to allegations of child sex abuse. However, these weren’t released until 2012, when the Oregon Supreme Court ordered them made public.
A review by the University of Virginia found nearly 8,000 perpetrators and over 12,250 victims in these files from just 1944 through 2016. The LA Times also found hundreds of these cases were never reported to law enforcement, or were kept hidden from family members.
More recently, lawyers representing victims have noted the BSA files show as many as 14,000 children were abused by Scout leaders between just 1965 and 1985. Therefore, the total number of victims could be over 25,000."
So the information on prior abuses from the 1920's to 2012 was released.
This is good.

Ok

Ok, good. Information is good.
Maybe MAYBE we can solve this, let's see.
From 2015 to now, or very recently, when the Boy Scouts had to file bankruptcy, what were the number of sexual abuse cases ? AND, what number of them were carried out by; 1. homosexual men 2. heterosexual men or 3. Gender questioning/trans whatever men ?
Not to be overly tedious, but it would be necessary to know those numbers. I have no idea if they would be significantly relevant or not, they may or may NOT be. But to put this completely to rest, make Ann Coulter and WND look overly zealous in how they reported on the matter, we need those numbers.
Do I expect we'll be able to FIND them ? Not really, I doubt such analyses were done on the matter. Maybe they were, who knows ? But I doubt it.
BUT, you may be correct. I really do not know unless and until more information is found.
