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?

It doesn't take a camping trip though. All it takes is like...driving the babysitter home...or...allowing a straight man to coach a HS girls sports team...or...any number of other things.

Or for that matter a gay person to do any of those.

Homosexuality is not an "on switch" for predatory behavior. Sexual predators are sexual predators, regardless of orientation.
