The evidence on pedophiles is much less than the evidence on homosexuals, which should be understandable since there aren't as many to study. But there is physical
and psychological evidence, not just physical. Research has suggested that the things are linked together.
Do you know who Judith Reisman is? First of all, her PhD is in communications. Second, the report she's most known for was heavily criticized and discredited, with the university she was affiliated with refusing to even publish it. She's known for her rantings that gays want to recruit children to be gay. In her words: "recruitment is loud; it is clear; it is everywhere." According to her, 20% of the youth population is in danger of being recruited into being gay.
Then there's this, from an article about Reisman: "
Reisman also endorses a book called “The Pink Swastika,” which challenges the “myths” that gays were victimized in Nazi Germany. The Nazi Party and the Holocaust itself, she writes, were largely the creation of “the German homosexual movement.” Thanks to Alfred Kinsey, she warns, the American homosexual movement is poised to repeat those crimes. “Idealistic ‘gay youth’ groups are being formed and staffed in classrooms nationwide by recruiters too similar to those who formed the original ‘Hitler youth.’ ”"
Yes, I'm begging you to please consider the source. Reisman was given a non-competitive grant by social conservatives in the Department of Justice to conduct research that serious academics panned as total bullshit. The fact that it was government-funded does not make it credible.
Here's the conclusion of a serious and legitimate academic article about your "facts": "
The empirical research does not show that gay or bisexual men are any more likely than heterosexual men to molest children. This is not to argue that homosexual and bisexual men never molest children. But there is no scientific basis for asserting that they are more likely than heterosexual men to do so. And, as explained above, many child molesters cannot be characterized as having an adult sexual orientation at all; they are fixated on children."

Who cares? People can campaign for the "right" to hurt children all they want, but it's not something anyone should listen to.
Again, there's not enough research to justify that claim, and the research that does exist does not justify that claim.
