Texas Republicans have decided on a platform that includes abolishing minimum wage, cancelling climate research, banning the teaching of evolution at schools, and repealing the voting rights act, among other things, but hilariously (or depressingly) the one thing on this laundry list that people are angry about is their plan to "rehabilitate" homosexuals, a practice that many say is harmful.

    I.e. a pedophile who is attracted to 5 year olds is statistically likely to have had a head injury when they were 5 years old.

    Dude, why are you making that up?
    Yes, there seems to be a correlation between pedophilia and childhood brain injuries. [discovery.com]
    No, there is nothing to suggest that the specific age of injury influences the age that the pedophile is attracted to.
