This one usually falls into the "gay is not the same thing as pedophile" bucket of logic, but there's another issue with this that gets overshadowed by that. Isn't sending a 16-year old boy, who may very well be gay, on a camping trip with a 24 year old gay man kind of like sending a 16-year old girl on a camping trip with a 24 year old straight man? I don't think most parents would be OK with the latter, so is it homophobic not to be OK with the former? Or is different because 16-year old girls are more attractive to adult straight males with questionable morals than 16-year old boys are to adult gay males with questionable morals?
