the differences in sexual orientation are in many ways analogous to the differences between normal adults and pedophiles. I am certain this will cause offense, but the parallels are many, regardless. The big difference is that it is socially wrong for adults to have sexual relations with children. Similarly, there are those who wish to have sex with animals, or sex with close relatives, but such things are not acceptable socially.

Sorry but f*ck you. I'm sure you'll argue that paragraph doesn't say "Being gay is like being a pedophile" but yeah it does. Children and animals can't give consent, adults can. You aren't an idiot, so I know you understand this distinction. So why make a post like that?

Well any kind of deviation of sexual orientation is technically an error in the intended function of the human control system (i.e. brain). So in a completely technical sense, all kind of sexual ordination deviations can be put in the same category.

Of course being gay and doing adult gay sexual intercourse is completely acceptable from a social perspective (in my opinion at least) since they don't do any harm. But still you must note that just being a pedophile or zoophile (i.e. an error in the brain function) cannot be considered as crime on its own. On the other hand, being a child abuser or an animal abuser is a crime.
