It's not "gay", it's just perverted. Gay men are attracted to masculine characteristics found in adult males (facial features, body shape, hair, not found in young boys), not interested in hairless feminine little boysHarvey Milk WAS gay, that's a fact.
Be careful how you throw around "the gay person" when discussing pedophilia. And if you insist on attaching adult sexuality to it, remember the overwhelming majority of sex offenses are committed against women and young girls, by men.
The only qualifier that determines if you are a "gay man" is that you are a man who is attracted to other adult men. If you are not attracted to other adult men, then you are not a gay man regardless of whether you identify as one or not. That's not "no true scotsman" mentality before anyone says it is, that's how it actually is.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
