That's been pretty thoroughly debunked. The vast majority of pedophiles are "heterosexual" men but really they're starting to look at pedophilia as its own thing, because the people are exclusively attracted to children. So they're not heterosexual or homosexual, they're pedophiles. Make sense? Typically pedophiles (those that are attracted to pre-pubescent children) don't discriminate based on the gender of the child. All that being said, the vast majority of sex offenders are heterosexual males.

There is nothing wrong or abnormal with being homosexual, it's just that society is biased. If you are not attracted to children, you're not a pedophile. You can find tons of studies and material online if you'd like to print stuff out to show to your mother.
