The bottom line is I think it is perfectly normal for a homosexual male to find sixteen year old boys attractive. Being the total sexist that I am, I think that women are much more sexually vulnerable than boys.
I sure as hell wasn't that vulnerable when I was sixteen. I had some gay male friends that didn't seem that vulnerable either.
Generally I don't think men should hit on sixteen year boys, but in the end I don't think it is that big of a deal. If I had a sixteen year old boy and a sixteen year old girl, and they were in the same class, I would prefer that all the teachers were either female or male homosexuals. If I had a gay sixteen year old son and he got involved with an older man I don't know how upset I would be. If my sixteen year old daughter hooked up with a forty year old man I would hunt the forty year old down and skin him alive.
I would be worried about my daughter but not too concerned about my son. I just think heterosexual men taking advantage of young females is a much bigger problem than homosexual men taking advantage of young men.
If a man took advantage of my ten year old son I would hunt him down and skin him alive. But that man I skinned would be a paedophile not a homosexual.
That may not be PC but as a male heterosexual that is my biased view.
