The ISIS Survey was a survey conducted by Paul Cameron

Paul Cameron has been so thouroughly debunked that it's laughable that
anyone would use him as a source.

Paul Cameron has been expelled from every professional organization he
belonged to, and has been cited for misrepresenting data (i.e., lying)
in court.

It's a pity the people who post his drivel aren't able to distinguish
a valid argument from lies and right wing terrorist propaganda.

Until 1980, Dr. Paul Cameron was an instructor in
psychology at the University of Nebraska. When his
teaching contract was not renewed, Cameron devoted himself
full-time to a think tank he had set up called the
"Institute for the Scientific Investigation of
Sexuality"(ISIS) in Lincoln, Nebraska. Under the auspices
of this institute, Cameron touted himself as an expert on
matters of sexuality, particularly on the societal
consequences of homosexuality. Throughout the 1980s, Dr.
Cameron's institute published a series of hysterical
pamphlets variously entitled: Criminality, Social
Disruption and Homosexuality; Child Molestation and
Homosexuality; and Murder, Violence and Homosexuality. In
these pamphlets, Cameron presented "findings" allegedly
showing that homosexuals were disproportionately
responsible for all sorts of heinous crimes, including
serial killing, child molestation and bestiality.=20
=20
Shortly after making these claims, however, Cameron came
under fire by a number of psychologists whom he had cited
in his publications, including Dr. A. Nicholas Groth,
director of the Sex Offender Program at the Connecticut
Department of Corrections---an expert on child molestation.
Dr. Groth and other psychologists complained that Cameron
was deliberately distorting or otherwise misrepresenting
the results of their studies in order to support his
agenda.=20
=20
In response to these complaints about Cameron from his
fellow psychologists, the American Psychological
Association launched an investigation of Cameron's
research. The APA discovered that Cameron not only
misrepresented other psychologists' findings, but that his
own studies employed unsound methodologies.=20
=20
Citing Cameron's breach of the APA code of ethics, the APA
expelled Cameron from its membership in December 1983.
Cameron claimed that he had actually resigned before the
APA expelled him, but APA bylaws prohibit members from
resigning while they are under investigation.=20
=20
Cameron was also censured by the Nebraska Psychological
Association, the American Sociological Association, and
the Midwest Sociological Society. In 1984, US District
Judge Jerry Buchmeyer denounced Cameron for having made
misrepresentations to the court in a case involving the
Texasstate sodomy law.=20
=20
Challenges to Cameron's credibility only seemed to spur
Cameron to accelerate his anti-Gay activities. In 1987,
Cameron moved to Washington DC and set up shop under the
auspices of the Family Research Institute, a "a non-profit
Educational and Scientific Corporation." From this location,=20
Cameron has continued to crank out his propaganda,=20
periodically updating his brochures and aiming to influence
the policy-making community. As Cameron has stated in one=20
brochure, "Published scientific material has a profound impact=20
on society... In a clash between the oreticalethics and hard,=20
cold statistics, the data-linked opinion will always win."

1996 - 1 Public Statement by Paul Cameron on Homosexuality
The Canadian Psychological Association takes the position that Dr.
Paul Cameron has consistently misinterpreted and misrepresented
research on sexuality, homosexuality, and lesbianism and thus, it
formally disassociates itself from the representation and
interpretations of scientific literature in his writings and public
statements on sexuality. (August 1996)

"The empirical research on adult sexual orientation and molestation of
children does not show that gay men are any more likely than
heterosexual men to molest children." 1=20

Dr. William C. Holmes, Assistant Professor of Medicine at the
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, authored a study in the
December 1998 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association
that reports that 98% of all male perpetrators who had sexually abused
boys were identified in their families and communities as
heterosexual.

"The belief that homosexuals are particularly attracted to children is
completely unsupported by our data=85 In our twelve years of work with
child molesters, we have found=85 the child offender who is also
attracted to and engaged in an adult sexual relationship is
heterosexual. The adult heterosexual male constitutes a greater risk
to the underage child than does the homosexual male."

Perhaps the greatest misconception that perpetuates this myth is the
confusion around the term sexual orientation. "Orientation refers to
feelings, self-concept, and social identity. Persons may or may not
express their orientation through behaviors."

Association, "Misinformation on Gays", The Courier Journal, March 27,

"Sexual abuse of male children by adult men is often referred to as
'homosexual molestation,' which implies that the perpetrator is
himself gay or has a homosexual orientation. Usually, however, the
adjectives 'homosexual' and 'heterosexual' really refer to the
victim's gender in relation to that of the perpetrator, not to the
perpetrator's sexual orientation."

Child sexual abuse is a serious problem. It's crucial that parents
have accurate information regarding this issue. "A child is 100 more
times more likely to be molested by a family member than by a
homosexual."

Homosexuals?", Pediatrics, July 1994, p. 41-44.

"The vast majority of offenders are heterosexual men. Male offenders
who abuse young boys maintain adult heterosexual relationships."
