Not even pedophiles who seem to target young boys?

Think about that.

Also read Paul's letter to the people in Corinth as recorded in first Corinthians chapter 13, all of it with the proper translation of the Greek word Agape. Latin speakers translated it as charitable love hence the "faith, hope and charity" in the King James Bible, but it really should be 'faith, hope and love'.

The proper translation of Agape is a self effacing or unconditional love. The Greeks were smart, they had four words for love;

Phileo - brotherly love

Storge - affectionate love as between a parent and child

Eros - physical love, and of course Agape

C.S. Lewis describes parental love as Need Love because children certainly do need it. Where I grew up two young girls who found no expressed love in their home looked for it elsewhere. It was false love they found and the two cowards deserted them when they got pregnant. What really got me angry at the time was that the parents shipped them off somewhere just at the time when they really needed parental love. Probably just to save embarrassment, one of the girls was a classmate.

Pedophiles targeting young boys really doesn't have much to do with homosexuality any more than rape has to do with heterosexuality.

In both cases the act of sex is used as a tool to control and have power over the victim.

Both cases are criminal acts triggerd by inacceptable sexual desires or/and violence delusions.

If a man has access to male and female children, but only rapes the male children...................

No, I'm not saying all homosexuals are pedophiles, that would be absurd. As absurd as it would be to say that no pedophile is gay.

Unfortunately there were both girls and boys subjected to abuse it would seem.
