In 1950 the state of California, in response to a child molestation case involving the murder of a 6 year old girl, decided that "Homosexuals" were the cause. Go figure?
In response the legislature passed a law declaring gays to be "sexual deviants" and goes on to require that the state explore the causes and possible cure for homosexuality.
I suspect this law and others like it are part of what tied, at least in the public mind, homosexuality with child abuse. Of course it didn't matter that the child was a girl and the abuser was a man....blame the gays!
Well the law was finally repealed, 60 years later in a unanimous vote. Whoopee, we're cured!
