First, the original assertion was that there was a link, presumably causative, between pedophilia and homosexuality. Second, the original assertion included the notion that homosexuality was being promoted, particularly in schools and on this forum.

The facts are that there is no evidence of any causative link between homosexuality and paedophilia, and to the contrary, homosexual parents are often found to be better parents than their heterosexual colleagues.

The facts are that in the main there is NO promotion of homosexuality, but there IS a promotion of a doctrine of tolerance and a respect for individual nature. There is a strong campaign to rid any public discussion or policy on the subject of the mindless associations and hatreds which are the earmarks of irrational thought based on generalizations without data, blind fear-mongering and hatred.

The conflation of the two subjects was started in the original post by choosing one aberrated individual and using him (because he was a gay activist as well as a pedophile) as a touchstone for linking the two conditions out of all proportion to reality.

THese are the facts, your honor.

This was cheap and poor rhetoric aimed at reducing rather than increasing understanding. That is my opinion.
