It's an abomination. What religions accept homosexuality?

LOL! No pitchforks.
Actually the Centers for Disease Control and other groups have collected the stats.
It is overwhelmingly heterosexual men that rape both male and female children. Many of them the child's own father, stepfather, grandfather, etc.
Men seem to think they have sex rights over women and children.

Again, I was not speaking on sexual assault stats in general, only the ones perpetrated by priests, which were mostly male on male.

Many churches do. Some even marry gay couples. Some have openly gay clergy, as has already been pointed out. These have been in the news in the last year or so.
And it is only an abomination in some people's mind.
I have no problem with adults that love each other getting married and receiving all of the benefits of heterosexual couples. And the divorce fights! LOL!

Buddhism has no laws against homosexuality, Hinduism, Sikhism, the ancient Greek and Egyptian religions, pretty much every religion that doesn't worship the "one true god"...

How can a male that molests another male still be considered heterosexual?

Because in most cases it has nothing to do with sexual orientation.
It has to do with sex, power, and availability of children.

You're quite welcome. I'm glad you're advocating for them as an oppressed group.

I still refuse to call any male who willingly performs any kind of sexual act on another male a heterosexual. I also think any man who rapes another man in prison is gay. A duck is a duck, you can't say "I'm not gay, I just have sex with men"...

Not true. I'd call anyone who sexually assaults another person a "rapist."

Rape has nothing to do with attraction. It has to do with control.

Like explaining gravity to a chicken... Anyone that has sex with someone of the same sex is not a heterosexual IMO, whatever the reasoning behind it.

Hint: "homosexual" = "oriented toward the same sex," not "engages in same-sex acts."
That's the problem. Not all people who engage in same-sex acts are actually oriented that way.

Tomato To-mah-to... Straight men don't have sex with men, end of story

Well, it happens to be a fact. Men in prison will use other men to take care of their needs, without being in the slightest gay.
Different cultures over time have had cultural sex - where an older male has sex with younger males - again while being heterosexual.
Some of the greatest armies of the ancient past practiced such - including the army of Alexander the Great.
There are know primitive tribes today that still practice such.

And there are many who are not.

No they don't because those men were all gay...

Yup. Just like the Ancient Greeks.
Define "gay".
