I know lot of ex-heteros who are gay currently. Opposite seems to be rare, but I have friend who turned from gay "pedo" into "normal" heterosexual. No therapists involved. Lots of more true to life examples came to mind too, but that doesn't mean it's right to change ones sexuality forcibly.
I have met lof of people who would somewhat fit into definition of a pedophile personally and many of my close friends have atleast some pedophilic interests and I can say that they aren't a bad sort. In fact I have never met a "pedo" who has a bad attitude towards others.
Twelve interesting things about let's say people "who like kids" I have met personally:
1. All of them I have met are geeks.
2. Every anime related club/irc-channel/forum here seems to have atleast one of those(in many occasions lot of more!)
3. Many of them I have met are very openminded and nice people rarely insulting anyone.
4. Majority of them I have met have atleast some interest in anime/manga and Japanese pop-culture in general.
5. Majority of them I have met are heterosexual.
6. Majority of them I have met happen to be white males with average age of 18.
7. Almost ALL females with such interest I know are heterosexual.
8. Majority of males with such interests I have met occasionally fap to lolicon.
9. Many of them I have met like both real and fictional children.
10. All of them I have met know that in real life having sex with child is wrong and they condemn child abuse.
11. Non of them I have met watch "child pornography" as it's defined by American and local(less strict) laws.
12. Almost all of the pedos I have met never call themselves pedos and might be even offended to be called one(what a surprise indeed!).
