That's it. That is exactly what happened. He did not compare homosexuality with child rape. He did not infer that homosexuality should be a criminal offence. You are indeed strawmanning him. Stop.
"sexual going-ons"?????
As far as I remember sex with a minor is a criminal offence. I know you feel differently about this and think it should be legal, but that doesnt change the law. Other than that, he compare the two as having the same reason why the public should be interested in who is doing that. Meaning that he sees them as similar activities.
