Even IF pedophilia is an inborn trait, it harms a child. Children can not consent to a sexual relationship.
Relationships between consenting adult homosexuals are not, in any way related to pedophilia.

The question isn't the acting on pedophilic urges - but the origin of them. If pedophilia is an inborn trait - than prosecuting someone for acting on them is wrong. You are being hateful and judgmental of something that to them is natural. Pedophiles should have civil rights if it is an inborn trait.

Now - if you don't think so - and believe that pedophiles are predators who choose their lifestyle - then you must apply the same standard to other sexual "orientations" - which would really be preferences.

So - which is it? Is pedophilia an "orientation" or a preference?

Calling someone Homophobic because they belivee the long held belief that marriage is only valid between a man and women is meaningless. Its just name calling like any other.

Looks as though in some cases, its fatal.
Indeed. It certainly appears to be true in your case.

Gee, unlike what your posts seem to indicate, I actually am aware that there is a difference between pedophilia and homosexuality.
Your post fails.

Why don't people recognize homophobia is as wrong as racism?

American will never totally put the disease of racism behind it , but like African American Civil Rights......
Homosexuals Marriage ,Domestic Partnerships , Civil Unions Civil Rights will come about on the Federal Level and also a number of States Level at the very minimun...The Homosexual Agenda " however will not get what it's really wants the most " because that would be the Hidden Homosexual Agenda Which Is ( That All Homosexual Activity Is Absolutely Totally Normal ) just like Heterosexual Activity.

I never once discussed pedophilia. Your daddy was right about you. Ignorant and lacking in reading comprehension. I have no time for purposely obtuse people. Bye.

Wrong. By having sex with a minor they are breaking the law. Which is what is being prosecuted. There are admitted pedophiles who never act on their urges. They are not prosecuted.
Alcoholism is hereditary, and we prosecute those who drive while intoxicated.
