I don't care much for comparisons between the "wrongness" of homosexuality and the "wrongness" of adult-child sex. I think that arguments in favour of adult-child sex are easily demolished on their own, and I think that if you cannot think of criteria for denouncing adult-child sex without appealing to some alleged "wrongness" of homosexuality then you've not thought things through.

I think it would be that obvious too - but apparently it's not. Of course the same thing was said of homosexuality not 20 or 30 years ago.

Well, okay.

Why is adult-child sex wrong? I'm speaking of children <12 and adults >18 (not that I think that sex with a fourteen-year old is "acceptable" by any means, but I'm trying to stay within the context of these arrests, which I assume involved very young children).

Why is homosexuality wrong? Be specific, don't offer what "some" or "many" homosexuals do. Explain exactly why two people of the same gender engaging in sexual activity of any kind is "wrong" no matter the circumstances.

I should hope that your answers are significantly different.
