Pedophiles are no more dangerous to society than homosexuals.
I really don't see how you can say that when pedophiles destroy children's lives, physically and mentally traumatize them, and sometimes even kill the children. Living next door to a homosexual who is only interested in other adults is much safer than living next to a pedophile for a family with children.
So when is the cut-off for when someone can give consent? I've heard that the brain is not fully formed until age 25. This is another cultural determination. Culture, not science, determines what is sick, criminal, unacceptable, etc.
Both homosexuality and pedophilia are sick and unacceptable. One primarily affects adults who make a conscious choice to engage in the evil behavior, while the other targets innocent children who have no choice but to be victims. A homosexual encounter (let's say two of them meet each other at a bar and decide to go have anal sex together that night), is an abomination, sick, and against God's will. It can also bring judgment down upon the nation that allows that behavior to continue unchecked. However, nobody in that scenario is a victim. It involves two people who chose to engage in degenerate/evil behavior with one another. When a pedophile acts on their deviant desires it automatically creates an unwilling victim.
That's why consent is important in these discussions. Both homosexuality and pedophilia are evil, but pedophilia automatically creates a victim.
The reason the American Psychological Association does not treat homosexuality is because it does not interfere with secular culture. And of course the left is actually trying to normalize people now who have "attraction to minors" and incest since their lies worked about homosexuality.
That's true. I've been trying to bring up this point many times on my own facebook wall and other places. People don't want to believe me when I try to warn that normalizing pedophiles is the next step of the communist/liberal agenda but I'm glad that you at least recognize that. The keywords are going to be "minor attracted" and "consenting partners" (notice the difference, it's not consenting adults, but consenting without the adult part tacked on). Pedophiles have for years argued that children are capable of "enjoying" being victimized. This can be traced at least as far back as the evil abomination/pervert Kinsey.
And since gradually society tends to fall hook line and sinker for the flawed liberal arguments and tends to reject the legitimate conservative arguments, in the future you will have many self-hating Jews and Christians arguing for the so-called human rights of pedophiles.
If someone has an orientation that directs them to be sexually attracted to children then it is up to them to get help before they act on those desires. Or, if someone else knows about it, to get help for the person whether they want it or not. If someone like that steps forward and admits this problem before they act on it, then now at least they have access to some help to try to keep themselves out of trouble and children safe from their urges.
They retain their human rights not to be tortured/killed as long as they don't act on it and are doing everything in their power to seek help and keep children safe.
If someone chooses to act on it then they have forfeited their right to be in society at all and should immediately be put to death.
As for homosexuals in today's society, there should be some kind of solutions available. Mandatory professional treatment should be the first step, to help them not to act on their deviant desires. There's a lot of evidence that an orientation is very difficult to actually change, but with professional treatment they could become celibate and find meaning in their lives in other ways besides sex.
They should never be allowed to raise children.
Being caught committing homosexual acts again should have further punishment, but I don't think giving a man hormones until he starts to have feminine characteristics and driving him to suicide is a very good idea. The constitution is against cruel or unusual punishments like that.
