The progressive effort to roll-back laws against pedophilia.
So much for the lefts consenting adults" rhetoric on sex. Forever the consummate conservationists our self-described progressive" friends at the ACLU MSNBC and elsewhere have been ramping-up efforts to downsize from consenting adults" to merely consenting" a far less cumbersome qualifier in the noble struggle for unrestrained sexual license.
Tolerating intergenerational romance" for minor-attracted" adults is all the rage these days.
Ever hear of Kaitlyn Hunt? Over the past year or so this poor misunderstood lesbian womans anti-gay persecution" has become a cause clbre among gay rights" activists and other left-wing purveyors of perversion.
Despite mass rallies and online petitions signed by hundreds-of-thousands of the uber-"tolerant" the clearly homophobic" Florida criminal justice system has nonetheless convicted Ms. Hunt of multiple felonies for sexually assaulting repeatedly a 14-year-old girl.
Puritans.
Oh sure her minor victim allegedly consented" to what the Free Kate" crowd has portrayed as a harmless tryst but of course by law children below the age of consent cannot consent to sex with adults. Period.
Still the progressive" establishment evidently felt that for whatever reason this was their hill to die on this was the case that might help them realize the historical gay rights" goal of rolling-back most if not all age of consent laws statutes designed to protect children from adult sexual predators like well Kate.
Veteran journalist Robert Stacy McCain has covered the Hunt case extensively. In a recent piece for the American Spectator headlined Kaitlyn Hunt is guilty and yes there is a movement to normalize pedophilia" McCain writes: Kaitlyn Hunt is a criminal. We can state that as a Neutral Objective Fact now that the 19-year-old former cheerleader has pleaded no contest to multiple felonies related to her sexual affair with a minor. What remains is the question of what her plea in a Florida courtroom Thursday means for what Rush Limbaugh has called the movement to normalize pedophilia."
Heres the answer: There is no question. There is categorically a movement to normalize pedophilia. Ive witnessed it firsthand and despite progressive" protestations to the contrary the pedophile rights" movement is inexorably linked to the so-called gay rights" movement.
Two years ago I along with the venerable child advocate Dr. Judith Reisman attended a Maryland conference hosted by the pedophile group B4U-ACT. Around 50 individuals were in attendance including a number of admitted pedophiles (or minor-attracted persons" as they euphemistically prefer).
Also present were a few self-described gay activists" and several supportive mental-health professionals. World renowned sexologist" Dr. Fred Berlin of Johns Hopkins University gave the keynote address opening with: I want to completely support the goal of B4U-ACT."
Here are some highlights from the conference:
- Pedophiles are unfairly stigmatized and demonized" by society.
- We are not required to interfere with or inhibit our childs sexuality."
- Children are not inherently unable to consent" to sex with an adult.
- An adults desire to have sex with children is normative."
- These things are not black and white; there are various shades of gray."
- A consensus belief by both speakers and pedophiles in attendance was that because it vilifies MAPs pedophilia should be removed as a mental disorder from the American Psychiatric Associations Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or DSM in the same manner homosexuality was removed in 1973.
- Dr. Fred Berlin acknowledged that it was political activism similar to the incremental strategy witnessed at the conference rather than a scientific calculus that successfully led to the declassification of homosexuality as a mental disorder: The reason homosexuality was taken out of DSM is that people didnt want the government in the bedroom" he said.
- The DSM ignores that pedophiles have feelings of love and romance for children" in the same way adults love one another.
- The DSM should focus on the needs" of the pedophile and should have a minimal focus on social control" rather than obsessing about the need to protect children."
- Self-described gay activist" and speaker Jacob Breslow said that children can properly be the object of our attraction." He further objectified children suggesting that pedophiles neednt gain consent from a child to have sex with it" any more than we need consent from a shoe to wear it. He then used graphic slang language to favorably describe the act of climaxing (ejaculating) on or with" a child. No one in attendance objected to this explicit depiction of child sexual assault. There was even laughter.
You may think that such abject evil simply represents the fringe of todays sexual progressivism." It doesnt. It represents the honest.
Consider for instance that during Obamas first term the official website for the Department of Health and Human Services linked to parenting tips" that referenced children as sexual beings" and suggested that they should experiment with homosexuality and masturbation.
You may also recall that Mr. Obama appointed Kevin Jennings founder of the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network" or GLSEN to the post of safe schools czar." The position is now defunct ostensibly due to national outrage over Jennings appointment.
In keeping with the thinly veiled goals of B4U-ACT GLSEN seems to be running interference" for pedophiles having tacitly advocated adult-child sex through its recommended reading list" for kids.
This of no surprise when you consider that one of Jennings ideological heroes was Harry Hay the founding father" of homosexual activism. One of the people thats always inspired me is Harry Hay" he has said glowingly.
Was Harry Hay fringe? No not among gay" activists. Hes an icon. Again he was just honest. In 1983 while addressing the pedophile North American Man/Boy Love Association or NAM/BLA Hay said the following:
It seems to me that in the gay community the people who should be running interference for NAM/BLA are the parents and friends of gays. Because if the parents and friends of gays are truly friends of gays they would know from their gay kids that the relationship with an older man is precisely what 13- 14- and 15-year-old kids need more than anything else in the world. And they would be welcoming this and welcoming the opportunity for young gay kids to have the kind of experience that they would need."
If he were alive today Harry Hay would likely have led the movement to free Kate."
And by free Kate" he would have meant and they actually mean free us."
And by free us" of course what they really mean is free children."
