If a man is only sexually attracted to pre-pubescent boys then he is a pedophile and the term homosexual isn’t really relevant

That isn't correct. Gay and straight ephebophiles have different drivers, and paedophiles who molest prepubescent children are different again, but it always makes a difference whether the offender is gay or het.

“Gay and straight ephebophiles have different drivers, and paedophiles who molest prepubescent children are different again,”

And therein lies the issue. A lot of pedophiles don’t distinguish between male or female children. They are pedophiles and gender of the child is irrelevant because they are attracted to children because they are children. Their driver is not gender oriented, but child oriented. To try and simplify this argument based on homosexuality or heterosexuality doesn’t resolve the issue at all. The only way to affirm this thesis is if you can show that when most homosexual men look at a prepubescent boy they are sexually aroused. I don’t think that has been shown in any way.
