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.

Hasn’t Slate argued that there’s a pedophila gene?

No, but a contributor to leftist Salon magazine has argued the existence of "virtuous pedophiles."

I read 25% of pedophile attacks identify as homosexual.

The word pederasty appears in every dictionary I own.

Yup. I left out a syllable (here).

My point was really that modern dictionaries seem to have phased out the word—perhaps under pressure from colleges. My old dictionaries have it: paperbacks less so.
