Someone just posted this and it came up in my facebook feed.
I don't know if someone's pulling my leg, if this is some sort of biased crap, or if this is real.
 
The article actually says pedophiles request the same rights as heterosexuals and homosexuals. The title of this thread is somewhat misleading.

In any case whatever your sexual orientation, it is in my opinion, all about consent. Children don't have the ability to consent. For young children their bodies are not physically ready for sex. Paedophiles might want and request the same rights - but this should never include the right to engage in the sexual practices of their choice if this involves children in any way.
 
Aghhhh! Sorry. But that is my response.

We get as far as the comment about the vast majority of men and women experiencing no negative affects from childhood sexual molestation followed by the merits of allowing child pornography and finished off by comment of how noone should be disadvantaged to do with sex by age and we get to the true centre of this.

Yes it is a sexual orientation for a small amount of those who prey on children and is probably fixed but the relevant part is the damage done to others.

Homosexuality does no harm to anyone and is the same in essence as other sexual orientations such as heterosexuality. This is so dangerous.

Another "phylia" is only being able to have sexual relations in the context of torturing someone else against their will such as in rape. Maybe we should defend their rights too. Then prosecuting them wouldn't be possible as it would be their human right.

Clever manipulation of some facts as usually happens. These organisations are continuously on this agenda with lies and distortions as their weapons and have been for a while. Why any "normal" place is giving them airtime is beyond me though.

I couldn't bring myself to read that article, but Lucycat and Abstract answered so well. Anything can be "rationalised" if people try hard enough. They just bring in the "facts" supporting their case, and conveniently ignore all the pieces that don't fit. It makes me both sick and angry.
 
I didn't read the article because I get triggered enough just studying in my criminal justice classes but I wanted to speak to a legislative argument I read about recently. I forget which State it was but there was a congressman that is opposed to same sex marriage and was attempting to criminalize homosexuality by hiding a vaguely worded clause in a bill intended to protect children from child abuse. The groups speaking out against marriage equality use groups like the ones in the article to lend support to their "slippery slope" argument that by allowing protection to LGBT people will lead to protection and normalization of other deviant behavior. Based on the assumption that homosexuals are deviants. It's an absolutely ridiculous argument of course. What offends me most is that by making those kinds of unfair comparisons, they lend credence to those sick perverts who contributed to the damage that I struggle with every single day.

Aghh! Thank you Dee. That makes so much sense. I was trying to see if the reporter linked to the article had connections to paedophilia and it seemed it was just a conservative which I couldn't get my head around but now all fits perfectly.

I think it is both beyond ridiculous as an argument and beyond disgusting. How appalling to use something like this and give it air time to try to force your own agenda through. Disgraceful.
 
I couldn't bring myself to read the article either but I have seen this kind of bullshit before. The subject actually brings up so much disgust and anger I can't really organize my thoughts about it. Grrr!

To me it is absolutely disgusting to make any kind of comparison between homosexuality and pedophilia. One is an orientation the other is a fetish because someone is sexualizing someone who is not yet sexual. That's why children cannot consent, no physical, emotional or mental capacity to, and why it causes so much damage. I'm not against fetishes just against acting on fetishes that cause harm. We can easily determine that harm is probable with a lack of consent. So no animals, children, or unwilling adults.

Whoever wrote that article needs to get over themselves and stop preying on people's fears to perpetuate hate of homosexuality. The comparison between the two is invalid.
