    That’s like saying you can treat being gay, after all I assume attraction is attraction.

    It’s a contentious topic, which I think does more harm than good as people are afraid to have discussions for fear of repercussions.

    In short, I don’t think people choose what they’re attracted to, and let’s be clear it’s only a crime once they act on those urges so shouldn’t we be more accepting of having discussions to reduce the harm to children.

      The sexual orientation argument is a landmine.

      Though it illustrates aspects of the point, it draws a lot of other uncomfortable parallels for people that really really aren’t part of it.

      And then you’ll spend twice as long dispelling the BS it makes people assume about the point you’re making.
