Northern Ireland candidate for Parliament: gays '40 times more likely' to abuse kids

Story here

Susan White is running for Parliament in West Tyrone, Northern Ireland. She calls herself "Biblically correct." She may also want to call herself "a big idiot," because other people are bound to do so.

From the article:

Ms White, who is standing in West Tyrone, last week unveiled her “biblically correct” manifesto.

At a hustings in Omagh she said: “In the main, what Jim Wells said was correct and I can prove it.

“Are you interested in the truth? Is anybody interested in the truth?
“Studies have shown that homosexuals are 40 times more likely than the general populace to abuse children.”


Except that is totally wrong.
