that a person is "born" with a sexual preference and if that "preference" is your same gender you cannot change it but if it is for children you can be rehabilitated?

Half of you aren't even answering the question.
Why can't someone who is gay be changed but someone who molests children can?

I didn't say I cared about sexual preference. I asked a question. A question none of you seem to be able to answer.
I expected that.

Thanks for clarifying your question because the garbled mess you asked initially made no sense whatsoever.
I don't believe either can be changed. I think gay people are born gay. I think they are born with a sexual preference that cannot be changed. I don't believe anything is wrong with this as it involves consenting adults.
I think pedophiles have an inherent urge that causes them to want to be with children or prepubescents. I don't think they can be rehabilitated. Unfortunately, even pedophiles who became such because they were molested as children themselves are unlikely to be rehabilitated. I actually believe there should be harsher child molestation laws because our current legal system leaves much to be desired when it comes to protecting children from these people.
I don't know why you believe Democrats believe otherwise. I'm a Democrat and as you can see, I certainly don't believe what you stated.

Democrats do not believe that, whatever that is - the last part is garbled.
Why do you believe, inspite of everything that has been found out about sexual orientation, that it is some kind of willful choice?
Naturally, you will not change your mind. But you should change your mind about what "Democrat" means, and you should change your mind about what people believe about the genetic basis of sexual orientation. If I get the drift of the garbled last part correctly, you seem to think that it is possible to alter a genetic trait in childhood, as if blue eyed children can become brown eyed adults.
Or are you just saying in the end, that you don't believe that sexual orientation is genetic and that therefore children have to be raised carefully so as not to be made into homosexuals?
If that is the case, then aren't you saying that Democrats are saying that sexual orientation is genetic to excuse what is really a personal preference, and this should be stopped, because you think homosexuality is not genetic and is a terrible thing and sinful and whatever and can be "cured?"
Sexual preference has been shown to be genetic, not a preference, and it cannot be "cured," and it is not only Democrats who know this.
And why have you used a Yahoo Answers username that is derogatory and inflammatory? Surely you are not describing yourself as "stupid.liberals?" How about I call you Dumb Illiterate Hateful Religio-Conservative, would you like that? Do you think it would be right?

You question is as stupid as your name. If you have that dumb as to believe the rhetoric you post, nobody can help you to understand anything. Pedophiles rehabilitation doesn't change their preference, it just gets them to not act out on their desires, and is rare. Lumping pedophilia and homosexuality into the same category is moronic, as one is criminal and the other harmless. If you think that being a homosexual is "wrong" or "morally decrepit" then you are the one with the problem, it's called bigotry.

What the hell do you care about somebody elses sexual preferences????
Why are conservatives...the party of small government...so concerned with what goes on in my bedroom and at my doctors office. People (consenting adults) can have sex with whomever they want. If your so concerned about other peoples sex lives...rent some porn.

Well your question is moronic of course, but that's ok-I am used to childish stupid 'questions' from brain-dead right wing ConTards. Here we go sweety...........Science shows a lot of evidence that being gay is genetic (no sugar, YOU look it up, I have a job to get back to). Children that are ****** up (like yourself for that matter) can, wtih intelligent and compassionate care get 'better'. Well, maybe not you. Now go **** yourself.

I don't know if a paedophile can be re-oriented, and I don't really care. Her behaviour is unacceptable and unless she can avoid it she belongs somewhere society is safe from her.
But what adults want to do is up to them. If someone is old enough to choose for herself, she is old enough to choose for herself; period.

People can't help who makes their thingy get hard.
Do both sexes excite you?
Men can't be gay unless they are sexually aroused.
I've had friends who were gay and wanted me to be gay with them if a man isn't sexually aroused he won't be gay trust me.
