Notice, it is called pedoPHILIA, not pedosexuality. It is a fetish where someone has sex with or has fantasies about children, who are not of legal age and therefore cannot give consent. Homosexuality is two people of the same sex being in love. It's not a perversion as long as both parties are of legal age. Your logic seems good on the surface, but once you break it down, it fails.
Person 1: "I like eating babies because they taste good."
Person 2: "I like eating apples because they taste good."
What you're saying is that Person 2 is wrong for eating apples because he eat's them for the same reason person 1 eats babies. Do you see why you're wrong here?
There is a huge difference. First, if a pedophile acts on his or her desires, he or she is raping a child. This is not the same thing as consentual sex between adults of the same sex.
Do you even understand the concept of consent?
I wish you knew what it feels like to have your relationships compared to child molestation, incest, and beastiality.
Actually no, they don't have the same rights as everybody else. They still don't have the right to get married to the person they love, I think that's a legitimate reason to complain.
Gay people have the same rights as straight people. A gay man is allowed to marry a woman just like a straight man is allowed to marry a woman. A gay man is not allowed to marry a man just like a straight man is not allowed to marry a man.
That was stupid. A straight man can marry whoever they love as long as they're at or over the legal age of consent. A gay man cannot marry whoever they love.
This is so sick and twisted. Why would you ever say that?? And I'm not gay and this offends me because it is medically proven that a pedophile is mentally sick. A gay person is not mentally sick in any way, they love who they love. They follow their heart, not the anatomy. They are in no way alike.
Well I see what you mean but how do we define sick? homosexuality expresses different parts of the brain from straight ppl, same with pedophilia so that logic isn't really valid. Society considers pedophilia as wrong because kids can't consent, but being gay both parties consent. thats sound logic.
The day we all realize that minority ethics or lifestyles are not morally wrong seems to be far in the future, unfortunately, due to posts like these. And that's not even true, anyways. Being gay is not a urge. A homosexual will not kidnap and molest a another person because they kind of want to. A rapist or pedophile will. Homosexuals fall in love. There is no difference between gay and straight people, except for our choice of partner. And I'm not some bitchy demo-communist yank who burns Bibles, I'm a realist.
Gays have hardly any of the rights that straight people have at all, how would you like it if you were told that your relationships were an "abomination"
We gay people go through enough shite in our lives without you assholes making it worse.
The acts of pedophiles and gays are different and the cause that pedophiles create is indeed much greater. However, how can we despise pedophiles for having that orientation when we love gays for having their orientation, just because they hurt less people? If we believe one is born gay, then we have to believe that people are born pedophiles. We cannot hate pedophiles for having that mental state. However, if we believe pedophiles can be corrected, then we can believe that gays can be corrected.
If someone is born with something ugly, you cannot judge one better than the other because it hurts more people. "They both can't help it".
As I said above, it is pedoPHILIA and not pedosexuality, meaning it is not a sexual orientation. It only becomes a sexual orientation when the object of your attraction is able to give consent to your sexual advances. Children cannot consent. We embrace homosexuality because it is sexual attraction that holds the possibility to become something more than just attraction, it can become a relationship. Children are unable to consent to a relationship, so anything someone does sexually with a minor is considered rape. Last I checked rape was bad.
Suck it the fuck up. You're gay, you want your rights we get it. Stop flaunting it and shoving it down everyone's throats. Maybe you'll get more respect if you kept it to yourselves. No one wants to see two men making out. It's not how it's supposed to be, and don't say it is because if that's how it was supposed to be, two men would be able to reproduce by themselves. Survival of the fittest my friends.
I personally don't want to see anyone making out in public, gay or straight. Who are you to judge what's wrong or right? By your logic being gay is wrong because two people of the same sex can't procreate. What about infertile people or people who choose not to have children? Are they wrong too? You can't call someone wrong because of something they can't control.
Funny how people stick up for gay people, when the only thing against them is talk. So what? Of course people in the South will disagree with being gay, but it's not like they go out and burn you. Grow up, gays. You have the same rights as everybody else, yet you complain like a bunch of middle-school girls.
We have the same rights? Really? So I guess straight people can't make medical decisions for their spouses in the hospital, or automatically gain custody of their children in the event of a parent dying, right? No. Straight couples get so many benefits that are denied to gay people. At least 1,000 federal benefits by the way. An openly gay person cannot serve in the military. How is that equal?
His fault for being openly gay. They don't mind as long as they don't know! And as a straight person, I do believe I would be gay had I been brought up by two gay dudes.

your fuckin stupid.
You know you've lost an arguement when you've resulted to name calling.
you're clearly very ignorant if you can't understand the difference.
I believe you're fucking stupid.
Person 1: "I like eating babies because they taste good."
Person 2: "I like eating apples because they taste good."
What you're saying is that Person 2 is wrong for eating apples because he eat's them for the same reason person 1 eats babies. Do you see why you're wrong here?
Therefore, you're wrong.
I love you :)
I love you too :)
Yes, but one difference is whether or not the partner is mentally or legally able to give consent.
Are you honestly that ignorant?
There is a huge difference. First, if a pedophile acts on his or her desires, he or she is raping a child. This is not the same thing as consentual sex between adults of the same sex.

You have an ignorant twisted mind.

That was stupid. A straight man can marry whoever they love as long as they're at or over the legal age of consent. A gay man cannot marry whoever they love.
Whomever, you moron. Both times.@341354 (pikabeau):
unfortunately, they can in my state :(
Oh, boo-fucking-hoo. Homosexuals have the same rights as everyone else in your state? How does that hurt you?
This is so sick and twisted. Why would you ever say that?? And I'm not gay and this offends me because it is medically proven that a pedophile is mentally sick. A gay person is not mentally sick in any way, they love who they love. They follow their heart, not the anatomy. They are in no way alike.

most gay people dont rape children

shelbica: you win.

Your logic is strange...

But each have a difference in their brains, and we cannot judge one better than the other just because one has harmful consequences.
Actually, the fact that one is harmful and the other isn't is exactly why we judge homosexuality to be better than pedophilia.
i take it most of you gays are democrats or retarded women to huh?
:)

you rock my socks lol
i think it is cute when gays make out, hold hands are affectionate unless they are really hairy then it is not....

Statistics show that children raised by a same sex couple are just as likely to be gay as children raised by an opposite sex couple.
before you go around yapping for people to stop complaining, do some research.
This is a valid point. I wonder how they deal with it in the court system.
