Heterosexuality, homosexuality, pedophilia, beastiality etc. are all nothing more than data points within the spectrum of human sexual inclination none any better or any worse than any other the other, the only criteria is whether or not there exists a societial consensus is that by some subjective metric there is an imbalance between percieved "good" and "bad" impact?
