Most of the victims were teenage boys. I don’t consider this to be pedophilia per se, although legally it probably is.

Those who insist that gays should be allowed to be Scoutmasters in the Boy Scouts of America always like to say that studies show that there is no correlation between homosexuality and pedophilia.

They are correct.

However, the definition of pedophilia is the sexual attraction to prepubescent children.

The sexual attraction to adolescent boys is pederasty and there has been a very strong and well known correlation between homosexuality and pederasty for thousands of years.

Indeed....they have coming out orgies even. Think for a minute if heterosexual men had coming out orgies for 13-17 year old girls. The deserved outcry.

To be honest, you are splitting hairs by using psycholical definitions rather than common sense definitions.

People who have sex with another person of the same sex are homosexuals. Attraction to the same sex is the definition of homosexuality, always has been. Trying to say it is not homosexual because of an arbitrary age threshold doesn’t change the fact same-sex relations are homosexual by their very nature.

People who have sex with children are pedophiles.

If a guy has sex with a male child, he is a homosexual pedophile.

I read a study that said that 33% of child sexual abuse is commited by homosexuals.
