After years of bullying, intimidation and activist pressure by the militant homosexual lobby, the American Psychiatric Association caved in, and took homosexuality off its list of mental disorders (DSM) in 1973. Of course we all knew that this was bad news for many reasons.
Not only was it another step in normalising what can be only described as an abnormal and unhealthy behaviour, but it opened the door for every other kinky sex group in the country to follow suit. And that has indeed been happening apace. The most recent example has to do with the paedophile activists.
We knew it would just be a matter of time before the social engineers at the APA would cave in to paedophilia. And that has now occurred. The newest (fifth) edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders now informs us that there is a ‘paedophile orientation,’ just as there is now a ‘homosexual orientation’.
The rest of course will be history. If you are born that way and can’t help it, we will then move to legalisation, protection, promotion and endorsement of the paedophile lifestyle, just as was done with homosexuality. There we saw the law move from prohibition to permission to promotion.
So now it is time to start promoting paedophilia. In the DSM V the APA “drew a very distinct line between pedophilia and pedophilic disorder. Pedophilia refers to a sexual orientation or profession of sexual preference devoid of consummation, whereas pedophilic disorder is defined as a compulsion and is used in reference to individuals who act on their sexuality.”
There are of course plenty of activist groups out there which are tickled pink with this new development. Consider the advocacy group B4U-ACT. This is a group dedicated to assisting “people who are emotionally and sexually attracted to minors”.
“Minor-attracted people” is the term they prefer. Paedophiles in other words, but hey, MAP has a nice euphemistic ring to it. The motto of the group is “Living in Truth and Dignity”. Yep, let’s all just come out of the closet and proudly affirm who we are and what we are into.
After all, we have seen the tremendous success in getting the homosexual lifestyle out of the closet, so now it is time for paedophiles to hold their heads up high, be very proud of who they are, and of course, demand their rights. No more unjust discrimination against MAPs.
Their love is just as valid and wonderful as anyone else’s, so stop the inequality now. Child-lovers of the world unite: you only have your chains to lose! It is time that societies recognise us. We demand our rights. And we of course insist on marriage equality now!
Now I have written elsewhere about this dodgy outfit:

Simply looking at the B4U-ACT website is quite revealing. In their FAQ section there is plenty to choose from. Let me offer you a few of them here:
Are you talking about pedophiles?
Yes, but not only pedophiles. The American Psychiatric Association defines a pedophile to be a person at least 16 years old who is sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children and has either engaged in sexual activity with a child or feels distressed by the feelings of attraction. The term “minor-attracted person” includes not only pedophiles, but also adults and adolescents preferentially attracted to children but who have not interacted with them sexually and do not feel distressed by their feelings. It also includes adults who are preferentially attracted to adolescents (rather than pre-pubescent children), and who may or may not have engaged in sexual activity with them.
Why do you say that minor-attracted people are stereotyped?
Popular beliefs about minor-attracted people are not supported by the evidence. Research shows that they are no more violent or aggressive than the general population, nor do they suffer from psychopathology or personality disorders. As a group, they do not share any particular characteristics or behaviors other than their feelings of attraction.
Why are you focused on the well-being of minor-attracted people? What about children?
Forcing minor-attracted people to remain secretive and without access to mental health care does not protect children. Stigmatizing and stereotyping minor-attracted people inflames the fears of minor-attracted people, mental health professionals, and the public, without contributing to an understanding of minor-attracted people or the issue of child sexual abuse….
Finally, no person should be denied their dignity and humanity because of feelings of attraction that they did not choose. Some experts have estimated that 0.5% to 7% of all males are attracted to minors, although there is no solid research to confirm this. If they are correct, it is likely that most Americans, without realizing it, have a good friend or loved one (possibly their own child) who is attracted to minors.
If I seek mental health services, does that mean I’m saying that my attraction to minors is a sickness?
No. We are trying to make services available to minor-attracted people who want them to work through issues unrelated to their sexuality, to deal with society’s response to their sexual feelings, or to develop satisfying and productive lives while living within the law. We are not advocating treatment to change sexual feelings.
Hmm, makes it sound oh so normal and acceptable, doesn’t it? In fact, they are even born that way and can’t help it! They must not be discriminated against but fully accepted, embraced and given special rights by the government. Now where did I hear all this sort of talk before? Oh yeah, when the activist groups sought to normalise and make fully acceptable homosexuality. The very same concepts and rhetoric were used back then.
But hey, if it worked so good for homosexuals, then why not see how effective it can be with paedophiles? Since the homosexual lobby has so very kindly opened the door – indeed, pushed it wide open – then all of the other sexual aberrations can get their public endorsement and promotion as well.
Whoopee! Free at last! Come out of the closet all you MAPs. Demand your full rights and enjoy your freedom to do your thing! No more oppressive and judgmental hatred of your lifestyle. No more right wing religious nutters telling us our love for kiddies is somehow wrong or immoral.
It is of course 100 per cent natural, normal and even biologically-based. We are simply born that way and can’t help it. So stop being so hateful and judgmental, and let us do our thing freely, openly, publicly, and with full social and legal acceptance and promotion. Equal love for paedophiles! End the discrimination! Stand up for your rights! Say no to the bigots! Marriage equality now!
Gee, all that was just so easy. Thanks to the homosexual activists, the job of the child lovers has been made so much easier. We all owe the homosexual militants our eternal gratitude. No more oppressed and repressed paedophiles cowering in the closets.
I guess I will see all of you at next year’s inaugural Paedophile Pride March. Be there or be square.
