Pedophilia may be a sexual orientation, (as in someone who is only sexually attracted to kids) but it is still NOT possible for children to consent so any act on the pedophile's sexual urges is RAPE. Even if the kid says it's okay. Kids can be manipulated easily and tend to be scared of older people. There might be an okay from the victim but there are so many reasons for that okay to be given.
My only hope when it comes to this acceptance of pedophiles is that we will be more able to identify them and make sure we keep kids away from them.
They need to be away from others, by any means necessary.
It's a sickness. Pedophilia is the name of a sickness, just like psychopathy is.
Yes, fuck pedophiles. But if we don't make an effort to understand them, we can't get closer to stopping them from influencing future generations or hurting our children.
They are horrifying, but we need to get past our anger in order to comprehend what's going on and in turn, fight it.

Using power to control = abuse. Abuse is NOT an orientation. Ever. Fuck pedophiles.

That wasn't my point. Saying it is an orientation is utter bullshit. Then rapists are an orientation. And spouse abusers. Ridiculous!

If that's what someone is into, I say let them say it out loud so we know to get them the fuck away from others.
Orientation does not equal accepted status.
