Lex et Veritas
Fair points, and I apologise if I misunderstood you.
Hmm... If I may, this formulation could be read as indicating that actual paedophile priests are common, thus contributing to the trope in question. I might suggest something like "The increase in the prominence of the Pedophile Priest trope has contributed to this".
My Games and Asset PacksAll suggestions considered, I'm putting another stub:
The basic idea that homosexuals (especially men) have a sexual interest in children and will molest them if they get a chance.
This lies on several homophic prejudices. One is conflating any unconventional sexual activity, so homosexuality and paedophilia (and even bestiality) would be lumped together as "unnatural acts". This was reinforced by widely disseminated scandals of sexual child abuse in institutions (like the Catholic Church) that was often of boys by men (despite this having to more to do with sex segregation making the boys more available than girls). Finally the belief that homosexuality is unnatural and must be a learned behaviour lead to the notion (still used today to clamp down on LGBT awareness campaigns) that the "gay agenda" must be preying on children. No credible research has found such any link between homosexuality and pedophilia.
Nowadays this is a Discredited Trope. The growing awareness of LGBT discrimination led to increasingly regard this trope as old-fashioned and offensive. Most recent examples tend to be subversions, if not openly calling out characters for expressing this attitude.
A subtrope of Depraved Homosexual. Compare Rape and Switch, when homosexuality is "triggered" after a sexual abuse. The increase in the prominence of the Pedophile Priest trope has contributed to this.
I find it well balanced between being informative enough but not too verbose. Do you support updating the description of All Gays Are Pedophiles this way, or is there something else to say?
If no one objects, may I bring this in Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests
?

At this point I'm proceeding with bringing my suggestion to the Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests
