As it was explained to me, there are sexual orientations (homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, asexual) and then there are perversions that could exist within each - except for, perhaps, asexual! - and that these are different things. The perversions are twists where an individual gets pleasure out of damaging others. This applies to rapists, some sadists, and pedophiles. The vast majority of pedophiles are heterosexual males.
It seems they are separate systems, more akin to a fetish, rather than an orientation. As Dr.Fuzzy pointed out, it's unrelated to sexual orientation.

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
