I've met, lived with, and have been friends with plenty of queers. I have never experienced a moment in their company that would give even an inkling of a "desire" for a child. On the other hand, I've been plenty creeped out by "heterosexual" "real men" who would leer at a pubescent girl walking by on a sidewalk.
Sexual attraction is a very complex topic, but I would argue that pedophilia is leaps and bounds beyond any kink (or even, as some of you would call it, the "deviancy" of homosexuality). There are plenty of examples of pedophiles who have no preference for a particular gender, simply because to them each act is another bounce in the downward tumble from a point where they've crossed a certain forbidden boundary. Pedophilia is rooted in the chase of coersion, and the power of absolute control--an ability to have a living and breathing made-of-flesh fucktoy to exploit, regardless of the sex of the child. You'll notice that many of these creeps are about "sharing" and "swapping" children, or images of children they abuse. They feed on the entire game of executing the abuse, and need validation from other "like-minded" perverts. If this were purely about sexual gratification, I would bet that the pedos would keep their "fuck-toy" to themselves and not risk exposure.
Take a look at the case of Joseph Fritzl. He sought the same control, but used basement walls and door locks to exert his control, rather than exploiting the vulnerability of a child. He's "straight."
