Yes, I understood your meaning.
And my explanation is my attempt to clarify my belief that sexual preference is NOT a crime.
Pedophilia is not a crime. Child molestation (the ACT) is a crime, regardless of whether the perp is a pedophile or not.
I hope you are not suggesting that we should codify thought crimes. Codifying thought crimes is something that the left has been pushing for years.
Codifying certain thoughts as crime is detestable. Only ACTIONS can be properly codified as crimes.
For example, it is not a crime to have the desire to kill another person. It is only a crime to commit the ACT.
Have you ever wanted to punch out somebody? Me perhaps? That's fine. Think it all you want. But DO IT and you've committed a crime.
