It matters because the majority of lesbians and homosexuals admit to an interest in the 13-16 set. That’s called pederasty.
If you call them pedophiles they can deflect the argument by calling it hyperbole - which it is - therefore it’s important to get the terminolgy correct in order to prevent giving these degenerates a way to deflect the argument.
I’m not at all concerned with the details of their molestations ~ just their mindset. They are perverts and law breakers.
