Anyways, many people want to to rehabilitate rapists and pedophiles, yet say that gay people are born that way and cannot be changed. Rapists and pedophiles are born that way and cannot be changed, they will always want to hurt others no matter what you do, the same way gays will be attracted the same sex no matter what you do to them. They are both a sexual attraction in the brain that cannot be 'fixed'.
Now, I am not against gay rights, IMO they should be able to get married and do their stuff like everyone else, just stop being attention whores.
edit: Sorry I didn't mention this, but I know gay people aren't rapists. I know RC5908 thinks I'm a gay basher, but I know gay people don't hurt others. I know he will still say that I think gays are as bad as pedophiles, but IDC about his lies.

The thing is, pedophilia is more of an environmentally adopted sexual orientation. It has more to do with a traumatic past than just being born that way. That being said, it's true that they will have that attraction for the rest of their life, but they can learn to control their urges through therapy. Rapists are actually not sexually motivated. -blam!- is considered a violent crime, not a sex crime. When somebody commits -blam!-, it's not an uncontrollable sexual urge. It's a way for that person to dominate another. Even if you have a -blam!- fetish, actually going out and committing -blam!- is a step too far.
