It will be a fine day in this country if people ever learn to separate the issue of being gay, from the issue of being a pedophile, in the way we separate being heterosexual from being a pedophile.

The problem is that all sexual behaviour lies on a continuum, with different people drawing sharp dividing lines at different points, with very little theoretical (biological) support for why the line should be at this exact point, and why the line has such high barriers of acceptability/abhorrence on either side. I understand my parents generation who found homosexuals beyond the pale, while I support gay marriage, and often wonder what the next generation or two will bring and how my views will be seen in retrospect.
