Once I was talking to some relatives about some jerk in the news who had been abusing boys.
When I referred to the person as "gay" they answered, "he's not gay, he's a pedophile."

It dawned on me what an effective job the media had done in brainwashing us.

Did you get a chance to ask whether a man who molests young girls is straight? Because logically, they seem to be saying that there are basically 3 sexual orientations: gay, straight, and pedophile.

A homosexual is someone attracted to those of the same sex. It doesn't matter how old. Thus a man who molests young boys is a homosexual pedophile, while a man who molests young girls is a heterosexual pedophile.

Also, most of these molestations appear to involve teen boys, not pre-adolescents. Adult men who seduce teenage girls are not called pedophiles. It's not considered odd that a twenty-something guy is sexually attracted to a sixteen year old girl. That's why fathers tend to try to keep their teenage daughters away from being alone with older guys.

Similarly, an adult gay man WILL be sexually attracted to teenage boys, and should be kept away from boys.

I got into an argument with a gal at the gym over the exact thing.

She just couldn't make the connection that an adult male having sex with a male child is a homosexual. To her, a male pedophile was not a homosexual........
