Was a joke , that is why I put a smile at the end. I was being sarcastic. Like I said, I realize they want to protect kids but so many places are banning us that it is like we are back behind bars. I got attacked by a nurse while in the emergency room because I was on the registry. Luckily I fought back. When I filed a police report, nothing was done NOTHING.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Another door closes on some one who has been recently released and wants nothing more than to get themself on the right track and not creating more victims. I think that thenwarnon sex offenders is cheap and easy political gold. All a politican has to say is that they will crack down on sex offenders and their approval shoots up. There needs to be local organizations that focuses on helping people on the registry find housing, work, and social events so that they dont feel isolated from the world.]]></description>

“Sexual deviants like homosexuals and transvestites” strikes me as language so retrograde that I’m hoping it was meant facetiously!

After all, sexual offending has little to nothing to do worth deviance.  It is all about perpetrating sexual harm.

It’s true that LGBTQ individuals statistically are more susceptible to sexual violence.  There are also, I assume, LGBTQ individuals reading this forum who might not know what to make of language like that.

But I agree, I’m not at all surprised that their exclusion policy has resulted in no apparent change in incidents.]]></description>

I&#039;d be interested to see how many of those 5% are just failure to register &quot;violations&quot; or young lovers still in love getting back together.

Heck, I bet they consider violating probation a &quot;sexual assault&quot; or looking at someone sideways just because you are on the registry.

I bet the % of actual recidivism is much less.]]></description>
