for the same reason that you probably hate pedophiles even if they have never touched a kid.
We see everything in our point view of moral standards instead of using empathy to put ourselfs on other people shoes.
Also, and this is something that is writed in this story, people need to hate somebody because if they are "bad", then I am "good". Even if I don't recycle trash I'm not a murder, so I'm a good person.
Even if I play with a lot of girls promising them to marry them and then dumping them.. it's ok because it's not like I'm a rapist.
and even if I'm a rapist I'm not a child rapist or a gay rapist, so I'm still good.
Did I make it clear?

Actually they are not. Pederast are after kids without consent. This is something that only few people know but it's an interesting fact. Pedophiles are people who feels attraction to kids but not necessarily act according their impulses. When they chose to act their fantasies with a kid then they become pederasts.
Pedophiles are largeley ununderstood and even psychology hasn't found from where it comes, if it's a malfunction of the brain (biological) or an enviroment issue (psychological). There's no cure, also. And society hate them, judge them and in some countries lynch them. For them, their fantasies are uncontrollable and unchangeable and it is not his fault.
If you think about it, they are in the same position as homosexuals before.
(OF COURSE I'm talking about all the pedophiles that DOESN'T act their fantasies. And I am NOT saying Pederast should be permitted in any way. I hope that stays clear.)

doesn't matter if they act on it or not, IT'S NOT A GOOD COMPARISON. pedophiles are after kids who cannot give proper consent. gay people, just like straight people, are sexually attracted to consenting adults. stop treating gay people like they're some sort of different species that is on the same level as fucking pedophiles.

A gay guy can decide not to act on his feelings for the same sex, but he can STILL be attracted to a CONSENTING ADULT male.
A pedophile can decide not to act on his feelings for children, but he will still be attracted to a CHILD who CANNOT give CONSENT. Whether you act upon it or not, the child you're thinking about is someone who cannot give a proper yes or no.
The adult gay guy you're thinking about is someone who can give a proper yes or no.
They are not the same. Use that gray matter between your ears.

What they're saying is not clear at all. And frankly, it's very disturbing.
You have a pedophile, even if it's just imagining, it's someone who's imagining being with an underdeveloped child.
You have an adult gay person, even if it's just imagining, it's someone who's imagining being with a developed adult.
You have a pedophile, even if it's just imagining, it's someone who's imagining being with a child who doesn't know right from wrong.
You have an adult gay person, even if it's just imagining, it's someone who's imagining being with an adult who knows right from wrong
One thinks about a child who can't give consent even in their imagination, regardless of whether they want it or not.
One thinks about an adult who can give consent.
Pedophiles have an attraction to VULNERABLE children.
Gay people don't.
There's a reason why people don't want pedophiles to act on their urges; IT'S BECAUSE CHILDREN ARE VULNERABLE. IT'S BECAUSE CHILDREN CAN GET HURT. It's what makes it so very different from gay people because: between two consenting gay people, no one gets hurt. Because even if it's only imagining, they aren't children in vulnerable positions.
Check the difference.
The fact that this is something that needs to be debated and that someone who's gay is being compared to a pedophile honestly makes me sick in the stomach.

Oh goodness gracious. I understand what your saying and I know it's disturbing. I'm just saying they probably didn't word what they were saying well and could use a better comparison. And I know about pedophile very well to point I didn't want too. Okay, let's just go enjoy yaoi goodness on this site.
I dont get y people hate gays... i mean they r still humans and have feelings not lije they're devils or smth...
