Yeah, I excerpted. I couldn't cut and paste the contents of the table.

It's a long, but worthwhile article. Why not send it to some lib friends and family to give them something to talk about besides Trump and Russian collusion.

It respects a dysfunction of the sexual dimension of a person, but pedophilia is still fairly gender based in that pedophile men who like females will still limit themselves to young girls, where pedophile homosexuals will tend to limit themselves, usually, to young boys.

Molestation by an adult is the defining and imprinting homosexual seminal event for unfortunate, vulnerable young men. The crime is rarely prosecuted on an individual basis.

Thanks for posting. The more light on this very un-PC subject, the better.

It's simple:

A pedophile who prefers little boys is a homosexual.

A pedophile who prefers little girls is not a homosexual.

They are both perverts.

This is going to bring out the vicious responses from the “loving” ones.

And when a 20 or 30 something female teacher has sex with a twelve year old boy, that’s “homosexuality”? I don’t think so, but it is pedophilia.

There is and can be contexts where the two things - pedophilia and homosexuality - appear together. But there are always contexts where both things are not present together; just one or the other. It is wrong to lump them together as if the same thing or always together.

Woe to him who steals the innocence from a child and sets the child on the path of evil.

Repentance is your only hope.

All you have to do is study a little ancient history. The "Greek vice" that was pervasive throughout the Classical period was practically 100% pederastic in nature. It was always considered to be servile and humiliating to be the "catcher" in such acts, and thus it was usually reserved for boy slaves.

Most virtuous Romans considered the act abhorrent, as did Christians when they came along--most notably Saint Paul who was at pains to condemn the act when preaching to his Greek converts, encouraging them to fly from it.

The idea that two men could be "married" never occurred to them. The relationship was always one of dominance. Even Nero, who "married" a eunuch, made sure his paramour was a boy, not a grown man.
