This is an interesting topic and has deep roots in lgbqt history actually, as far back as lgbqt history goes, society has combed pedophiles under the same comb, especially gay men. Gay men have always been thought to be pedophiles, but i agree with you, whether the pedophike is gay or straight, if they act on their urges they should be punished as criminals. If people want to say that being a pedophile is a lifestyle choice, its as good as saying murder, theft, corruption are all lifestyle choices. Hioe this makes sense.
