Most pedophiles are straight, not gay, but that's simply because straight people outnumber gay people so much.
I read that PER CAPITA, homosexuals are more guilty of pedophilia than heterosexuals are.
Look at the scandal involving sexual abuse of minors by Catholic priests. The vast majority of it involved BOYS -- and not young boys, but mostly older postpubescent boys.
Which means that media reports of it being a "pedophile" scandal were not entirely accurate.
It wouldn't have been PC to call it a "homosexual crisis" in the Church -- but that's exactly what it was!

The Definition of Pedophilia:
The American Psychiatric Association in its main diagnostic manual, the DSM-IV TR, defines a pedophile as somebody who “over a period of six months, [has] recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges or behaviors involving sexually activity with a prepubescent child or children (generally age 13 or younger)”. It further states that the person has either acted on these urges or as a result of the urges has experienced marked distress or interpersonal difficulty. In other words, the pedophile may have acted upon the urges but did not necessarily do so. Pedophiles are predominately male and the abuse is towards young girls and boys, most pedophiles are married and have children of there own and do not act upon these urges with their own children. Pedophiles are not homosexuals although some may be. Most pedophiles are heterosexual males who live a "normal" life unbeknown to their family or friends.
So "NO" gays are not pedophiles, the majority are heterosexual perverted deviants and Gays should not be put in that category.

NO, most pedophiles are heterosexual! And it typically is a man who desires little girls. Sometimes there are men or women who desire young boys, but it is not a gay thing. Being a homosexual has NOTHING to do with being a pedophile. Look at the holy men in the churches - they are often the worst offenders! Why are there so many straight men who want what's between little girls legs? Those men are all over the place!

Where did you get these facts, genius? Oh, sorry. I forgot who I was talking to. This is the guy who wonders why handicapped people need a little extra help at a hotel.
No, not all gays are pedophiles. And no, not all pedophiles are gay. I just bet you love it on your planet, where sweeping generalizations are law. What happened to your brain? Did it roll out of your ear one day? Or just slink away in shame???

No.
Pedophilia is a form of paraphilias, and this refers to sexual behaviour rather than sexual orientation. Pedophiles can be heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual.
Unfortunately, there is a misconception that people become gay as a result of being abused in childhood. This is probably why some people think there is a link between homosexuality and pedophilia.
Research done in the past 35 years has concluded that homosexuality itself isn't associated with any pathological conditions, nor is it the result of a bad childhood.

You are waaaay off the mark. The truth is most pedophiles are heterosexual. Most people who are gay are NOT pedophiles. A comment like yours comes out of ignorance (and I don't mean ignorance in the insulting way, I mean it in the true definition of the word--a lack of knowledge/education).

No they are two different things but they are in the same "weird" family. It is like AIDS and Cancer. They are both diseases but they are different to each other. Being gay and being pedophile are diseases too. Like the mutants in Xmen 3, being gay and pedophile is a sickness but too bad there is no cure. The gay virus have been spreading very widely now and may affect your own future son. I suggest you stock up with G.I.JOES and burn your Barbie Dolls to lessen the probability of your son being gay. Some of them gay people live among us. But unbeknown to us, they are hidden in their closets, waiting for the right opportunity to attack. I've been attacked once by my gay boss, we were in the stock room and... The Horror... Attack of the Zombies... Good thing I survived. That is why mission is to eradicate all gayness in humanity. just kidding. Gay peeps are cool.

You are confusing two issues here - understandably but oh so incorrectly.
Paedophiles are "lovers of children" - from the Greek. The gender of the poor child being abused is irrelevant. One does not get straight paedophiles and gay paedophiles, merely paedophiles. This is because they are only really interested in pre-pubescents, whose anatomy differ only in the sex organs but not in general appearance.
Gays are attracted to the same sex. There is no dictat in the definition of gays that in order to be attracted to the same sex the Gay must also fancy children.
Thus you have it Gays are not Paedophiles and Paedophiles are not gay.

Pedophiles are people who want to molest younger children. It can be a woman who is infatuated with younger boys or girls. So pedophiles do not have to be gay!!!

Are you insane of just ignorant ? pedophiles are not gay , they do not care who they molest they just want to have sex with children . pedophilia is a sickness and has nothing to do with sexual orientation . Pedophilia is a act of rape and is base on domination and power , these people want to hurt and have power over children . Gay people do not want to have sex with children and do not seek to harm children , many gay men and women have children of their own .
