Some points are already noted by Stephen Dawson and Strawman. I will just add a couple of comments. The possibility that homosexual men may be more inclined to pedophilia than heterosexual men. I think that pedophiles have bits of their head missing, and I fair proportion of the homosexuals I have met I would say have had bits of their head missing. from Strawman posting. I am not going to say that all homosexuals are bad or "have bits of their head missing". I am not going to say that they are all good or none of them "have bits of their head missing" either. Given that sexual instincts exist because of need to procreate and homosexual sex can under no circumstances lead to procreation, we are safe to conclude that it is unnatural. Unnatural behaviour might or might not have some undesirable consequences. Unnaturally of homosexuals does not, of course, imply bigger likelihood of pedophilia. I would stop at that, unless there ware some statistical evidence that homosexual men may indeed be more inclined to paedophilia than heterosexual men. There are. About 1/3 of pedophilia victims in US are boys. About 98% or 99% of perpetrator are men. It means that about 30% of perpetrators are probably homosexuals. Given that about 3% of men are homosexuals, it means homosexual men about 10 times more likely to be a pedophile that heterosexual. It is not by any means a conclusive evidence, but it means that we cannot reject the hypothesis that homosexual is more likely to be a pedophile. We should also bear in mind that percentage of pedophiles is very low, so even a homosexual is not likely to be a pedophile (even if probability 10 times higher). Stephen Dawson rightly points that "sometimes straight fathers sexually abuse their daughters". Just remember that this problem applies to adoption in higher degree (I mean that people are less likely to abuse their biological children).
