Homosexuality used to be illegal in Ireland – and the penalty was death.
Children and teenage boys were certainly safer in such times, were they not?

No, they weren’t. Homosexuality is not the problem. Predators in general (straight or LGBT) are the problem. And predators are going to prey regardless of whether it’s legal or not.
For example, you are talking about Ireland. Did it ever occur to you to look up if there were child sexual abuse cases in Ireland before 1993, the year homosexuality was decriminalized there? There are a number of abuse cases prior to that year, including a priest who abused boys and girls from 1958 all the way until then. He actually was caught in 1993. He abused children for 35 years.
You all don’t care about children at all. You want to punish LGBT people and teach your children to be bigoted, intolerant assholes like you.
Yes I knew that, and also here until the 1860s. I doubt the young boys were safer then, because if that was considered unspeakable, they were hardly going to tell anyone their problems.
...yes: and way before the referendum a few years ago which made not only homosexuality but same-sex marriage legal, there was the Paedophile Priests Scandal so should you be surprised when the people of Ireland exacted their revenge against the RCC, OP?!
The RCC once had absolute socio-political power in that country, so if anything the clergy being democratically castrated via a Dictatorship of the Proletariat can only be a good thing: in more ways than one.
After that, the Big One: a referendum making abortion legal in that country. Followed by the Blasphemy law being destroyed by a third referendum. The RCC's destruction of their previously unassailable socio-political power was complete. So indeed:
In Soviet Ireland, God worships you .

Even then they wouldn't necessarily be safer. They could still be bullied, assaulted, killed, get ill, starve or multitude of other issues
Confused?
