1) I'm sure there are plenty of pedos/hebes who'd be happy to find another pedo/hebe. Regardless, this would just require more caution in the campaign.
2) Pffft, no. There are hateful Pedo's, but as a group we are not hateful. Angry, maybe, but not hateful.
3) Education and understanding is key here. We need to more accurately know the effects our love has on children/teens, and so do their parents. Also, a focus on a child's right to choose would be beneficial. Drastic law change isn't unheard of.
4) Education and understanding. Stranger Danger is a horrible concept, and is slowly being weeded out of society anyway. Ageism, education, and children's rights are worth fixing as well, even without pedo rights.
5) Pedos/hebes are no more or less trustworthy than anyone else. The reasson adult/child relationships would be better is the inclusion of a third party (the parents). Children are expected to make mistakes, so if relationships with adults were to become legal, it's only natural that the parents be there to approve. The older the kid, the less parental supervision needed (although horny teens might need some holding back). In the case of Pedophiles, sex doesn't necessarily entail penetration, and as such has a lower (but not non-existent) chance of std spread, or pregnancy.
6) I have a couple counters. First, not all pedos/hebes are exclusively attracted to children, so there's no reason they can't fall in love for a lifetime. Second, as you age your standards change, especially when in love. Most people are not attracted to old people until they are old themselves. Finally, humans are psudo-monogamous at best. True love may or may not be a thing, however, it isn't necessarily optimal. Do we really consider a persons first boy/girl friend to be the one they should stay with for life?
7) This will change when it's less likely to ABSOLUTELY DESTROY OUR SOCIAL, AND WORK LIVES, AND THREATEN OUR HEALTH AND SAFETY. When I come out, it'll be when I'm not going to be fired for it, or attacked in the street, or ostracized by my friends and family. The physical safety is the most important to me, as I can always make more money and friends.
No one said it would be easy. But it is possible, and we shouldn't give up hope. Most importantly, we can't get discourages by potential roadblocks. We can do it, and we will.
