    Homosexuals are overrepresented in studies on paedophiles, but in absolute numbers there would probably be more straight peaedophiles as there are far more straight people than gay people

      That’s the difference between homosexual and gay. Yes, homosexual pedos are more common, but the perpetrator hardly ever lives as an openly gay man (nor is he attracted to adult men).

      Gay people and homo pedos are simply two distinct groups

        Isnt it also that in most cases “pedo” takes priority over “hetero/homo”. Basically if you are attracted to children, the genders doesnt really matter. But usually men have easier access to boys than to girls so more often, reported cases are of homosexual paedophilia.
