mountains of evidence that shows that pedophilia and homosexuality are different things

Yes, mountains of evidence sponsored by the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA).

I knew a gay guy in college that loved to quip "Love those fat butt boys."

Wouldn't it seem logical that the second perversion would be easier to adopt than the first?

Could homosexuality serve as a "gateway" perversion?

“Could homosexuality serve as a “gateway” perversion?”

Indeed, I think it is a gateway - while not specifically to pedophilia, (if the object of attention here would be ages 5-10 or so) at least to seeking out minors (age 13-15). This in itself could lead to “exceptions” (an occasional 10 or 11 year old).

While pedophilia may be different from homosexuality, with male on male sexuality I would say it is a difference not in kind, but in degree. Hence the danger of a slippery slope. But of course Mr. Badash will have none of this.
