Ted, Is it cultural or something bigger? Homosexuality typically is between two consenting adults. Pedophilia typically is between an adult and an nonconsenting minor. Seems to me there is a big difference between the two.

How have we judged that the minor is automatically "non-consenting"? Was that scientifically proven, or is that something we "just know" in our heart of hearts?

I'll stop there, since I doubt you want to follow me down this path of argument. Suffice to say that there are people in academia who are challenging the very taboo of pedophilia, or at least the taboo of statutory rape. Most of us have already drawn our personal boundaries, but even those boundaries are being blurred by our relativistic culture.
