I would like to answer a few:
1. If it is an Islamic country, there is no place for homosexuals. Do you have place for Child Pornography? No! How did you draw line between a homosexual and child pornographer? Your drawing this line is based on what you think right and what you don't. Likewise, Islam also thinks in certain way.

I'm sorry, but this is the single most disgusting thing I have read in this thread.
You are comparing two consenting adults in a loving relationship to the often violent sexual abuse of exploited children?
No, you are comparing two completely different things.
Most homosexual couples, like most heterosexual couples, are in a relationship based around a love they feel for each other. In most cases they do not wish to cause any harm to their partner, they can have all the love and respect that any heterosexual couple would have.
Child pornography on the other hand is a sexual desire which only breeds violence and abuse which ruins the lives of the exploited children. It is almost always (as in 99% of cases) like this.
If homosexuality came with the abuse, exploitation and suffering that child abuse came with, then it would be banned in a second and everyone would be against it. But it doesn't.
Fair enough a moral line is hard to draw, morals are a relative thing, but you have chosen two things that are far removed form each other.

I am not comparing two different things. This was for example. And also I asked in a later post, whether a girl of 16 years old does possess understanding of having sex or not? Don't think that I gave example of a 5 year old girl. A girl of 16 years does have understanding yet it is illegal to have sex or even take naked picture of her even if she gives her consent.
WHY?

You are comparing two different things.
I really don't care about your attempt to shoehorn this into an argument about the age of consent. You can't just say "I'm not comparing two different things, because this part of my comparison is a grey area".
You said "how do you draw a line between a homosexual and a child pornographer?", you can't just pick part of that definition because it's a grey area, you have to stick by all of it. I showed you why we draw the line because of the high potential for abuse (and Farmland gave a few more reasons too) and the age of constent is a guide (backed by law obviously) to stop this kind of abuse happening.
In homosexual relationships this kind of abuse is not common. And if they are in an abusive relationship then they are likely already mature enough to understand the situation and are mature enough to take action, just like with a heterosexual couple.
I just see you as trying to draw a comparison between two things that are far removed from each other.
