Historically and across the world, homosexual behavior normally involves a pubescent/adolescent boy and an adult man. That was the norm in ancient Greece, Rome, Japan, China and other societies where it varied from being accepted to celebrated.
In most of these same societies, a sexual relationship that continued after or began when both were adults was considered odd to perverted to criminal.
Once accidentally wandered into a gay bookstore in Atlanta. I didn’t even realize that was what it was until I realized I couldn’t find anything that wasn’t gay-themed.
Anyway, a very large section was made up of fiction about man/boy sex.
I think it’s reasonable to note that most of this is not pedophilia, which is attraction to pre-pubescent children. It’s ephebophilia, attraction to pubescent/adolescent males.
actually much of this is a development of revisionist history of the 1950 ivory tower.
In ancient Greece men caught with boys were stoned to death. The professors of the ivory tower intentionally mistranslated “student/teacher” or “mentee/mentor” in order to further their agenda. (ie ignored Alexander the Great’s wife and son. ignored his letter rebuking a Persian governor’s offer of a slave boy as a repugnant insult)
In no society was it EVER open and accepted as normal behavior.

Either way you coat it, its inappropriate and damaging to the child \ adolescent \ minor enough that it can cause irreparable damage that remains all of their life. But to a homosexual that doesn’t matter. He just wants to have sex with them for his own self-gratification.
