Age of consent, paedophilia, NAMBLA etc.

You both missed my points.

I cannot sit here and try to make what I said clearer. So I'm not going to even try.

I believe it's you who has missed our point, a point that has never been used to condemn homosexuality (and I've seen a lot of reasons given to condemn us, including the ones you gave which are NOT our reasons).

Granted, you said a lot more that I didn't address but that due to time. For example, the world has changed a lot from those past times you described and what was true then is no longer practical today for so many reasons such as now girls have a future whereas before about all they did was pop out babies and take care of a home (and interesting enough men such as Edgar Allen Poe married their preteen cousins back then and thought nothing of it but there are people today who say if gays can marry then men will marry their underage cousins!), adults and kids weren't segregated and therefore had other ways to connect besides sex (so that genuine love and affection was more believable back then than it is today), and for the last few decades most kids are kept in a bubble for better and worse that prevents the development of maturity & common sense that people the same age decades ago would've already developed (and back then they also had a lot more oversight from large families and tight knit communities, for better and worse, than they have now so that predators were more likely to be turned away, unless the family approved of the said predators or the predators were royalty and/or the legbreakers of said royalty). That's just off the top of my head, I'm sure I could add more if I took the time. (ETA: I'm thinking in terms of thousands of years, btw.)

And because kids want to have sex with adults doesn't mean that therefore they're ready for sex or that adults don't knowingly and willfully take advantage of their gullibility and lack of impulse control to cause them real harm or even when they're just "taking what's offered" that they're therefore excused to display the same lack of impulse control and sense. I don't expect kids (especially today) to show good sense or good impulse control, but I do expect that of adults and believe those that don't shouldn't be allowed to walk freely among us. There's also the ethical question of authority figures having sex with those who must answer to them which is pretty much the case with any adult & minor (just ask Jeffrey Dahmer).

This and more went through my head as I read your post but I didn't have the time to go into it and I felt would only detract from the main point which I believed you missed anyway.
