Sexual preference and orientation are not dependent on being a pedophile. Pedophilia is a psychological disorder where individuals have a primary sexual interest in prepubescent children. This differs from sexual orientation, which refers to one's attraction to adults of the same gender, different gender, or both.

Most pedophiles are not gay. This is a myth that has hurt the gay community for generations. The fact is that most pedophiles are heterosexual in their adult relationships.

3% of the population is gay, however 30-48% of sexual crimes against children were infact of members from the LGBTQ community. So this is infact not completely true, yes Heterosexual men have more total count, but only 3% of people in the US are gay.

Even the ones who like boys are still going after children, which are mostly feminine regardless of their gender.
