I recently saw a South Park episode about NAMBLA...the North American Man Boy Love Association...which touched upon the debate about the nexus between gay men and pedophiles.
From the NAMBLA website:
The North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) was formed in 1978. It was inspired by the success of a campaign based in Boston's gay community to defend against a local witchhunt.
NAMBLA's goal is to end the extreme oppression of men and boys in mutually consensual relationships by:
* building understanding and support for such relationships;
* educating the general public on the benevolent nature of man/boy love;
* cooperating with lesbian, gay, feminist, and other liberation movements;
* supporting the liberation of persons of all ages from sexual prejudice and oppression.

Gay men have been trying to distance themselves from the "pedo" label for decades...but when it comes right down to it, pervy gay men are likely into young boys in the same way as pervy straight guys are into young girls.
Should pedophilia be recognized as a "sexual preference" in the same way as homosexuality has been?
Discuss.
