So if someone has no choice in determining their sexual preference, does that possibly mean that a pedophile has no choice either?
And if so, why is the law currently discriminating against them?
Then leash responds.

It's a moot point because pedophiles infringe on the rights of others (like the right to grow up without being molested by a pedophile). Gays don't.
Seems logical.
But Seacrest fires back.

Then we get a whole lot of hemming and hawing.
Let's clear some things up.
Pedophilia refers to any person over 16 years of age being sexually attracted to prepubescent children (under 13).I'll safely assume that no one here thinks a child under 13 can give consent to having sex. Therefore leash was correct in declaring Seacrest's original point moot.
That is your definition of pedophilia. Like it or not, it is not shared by literally millions of others.
We are back to where we started. If you want to live in a morally relativistic society, you aren't going to be able to get agreement with others. It's a nice sentiment on your part and nothing else.
You chose the rules yourself that you wanted to make and live by. So everyone must get to also.
I believe in a natural law, the one put forth by the likes of Plato, Aristotle and Socrates. Before we knew about God, the author of the natural law.
A "morally absolutist" society would never find agreement in a Democracy, either, even if it were based on the single book that you love to subscribe to. It is all still based on individual interpretation, and there are areas not addressed. Stances that the Bible is right and there are no other thoughts or opinions are beyond arrogant. Most Christians I know don't even subscribe to these thoughts.
