The Irish novelist Colm Tóibín, who is gay, has an interesting take on the abuse of young boys by priests. According to the Irish Independent: "Although not abused by priests in the Wexford school he attended, he positively fancied some of them. "Aged 15 or 16," he tells interviewer Susanna Rustin, "I found some of the priests sexually attractive, they had a way about them . . . a sexual allure which is a difficult thing to talk about because it's usually meant to be the opposite way round"'.
