Each chapter of the sexual revolution has featured an updated version of the same myth: Dont worry, the kids will be fine. Sex with anyone anywhere? The kids will be fine. Separate marriage from procreation? The kids will be fine. No-fault divorce? The kids will be fine. Graphic sex education in schools beginning in kindergarten? The kids will be fine. Same-sex marriages eliminating either a mom or a dad from the picture? The kids will be fine.
They werent.
Growing up in families without married parents, their well-being sacrificed for the sake of adult happiness, the kids have been the primary victims of our sexual experimentation. To cover our tracks, weve resorted to indoctrination, attempting to convince them of other myths, such as the idea that biological sex and their physical bodies are fully malleable. Kids today are literally taught to be skeptical of how they were made.
The kids are not fine. Theyve never been fine, in fact, not throughout this entire history of sexual redefinition. And Im afraid, that the next chapter just began.
Even before Netflix released Cuties, that French movie about an 11-year-old girl who joins a twerking dance group to escape her conservative Muslim family, it received wide-spread backlash. Many critics, including all of us here at the Colson Center, were horrified to think that a movie featuring pornographic footage of very young actresses would be permitted to air. But it was.
Even worse, once the director wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post attempting to explain her intentions, she and her film have been defended in mainstream media outlets such as the Washington Post and on NPR. She was warning us about the sexualization of children through online technology, we were scolded, even if in the process, she sexualized actual children. The lead character, who is sexualized throughout the film, is played by an actual 11-year-old girl.
At the risk of sounding like the old man who yells get off my lawn to the enlightened minds at NPR, no 11-year old girl should be sexualized for any reason. Their defense of this film makes me think weve entered new territory.
Every stage of the sexual revolution has progressed the same way. A morally questionable activity enters our culture, not through moral argument, but through the imagination, typically via entertainment or some form of artistic expression. Im old enough to remember how controversial Beverly Hills 90210 was, as it skirted the edge of our cultural moral boundaries, depicting teenagers talking about sex but never actually doing it.
In the end, the characters mostly came down on the right side of the moral question, but not because of any appeal to a stable moral framework. Rather, the teens just werent ready to take that step. Just a few years later, say, on an episode of Friends, the teenager is having sex, with a teacher even. This time, its supposed to be funny. Before long, its Glee, and the teens arent just talking anymore. Theyre doing, and theyre in Ohio, not LA. (We could trace the history of homosexuality from the not that theres anything wrong with that days of Seinfeld to Will and Grace to Modern Family.)
At the end of Cuties, Im told, the lead character leaves behind her twerking dance crew and returns to her conservative family. Her decision, of course, does not come from any moral framework, much less a condemnation of the pedophilia the film both portrays and commits.
The crisis is resolved through some weak notion like self-discovery, or being true to yourself. This means that in the next Cuties (and there will be a next one), the ending will be different. Maybe her fundamentalist parents learn to flex a little bit. Maybe in the one after that, she doesnt go home at all. Before long, none of us are alarmed by pornographic portrayals of children.
What happened with sexual promiscuity, adultery, homosexuality, and currently, with transgenderism is happening with kids. Weve already told them to determine their sexual identities. At the same time, the only ground left sexual morality is the flimsy notion of consent. Is it that much of a leap, really, from here to kids self-determining sexual behavior?
Just two weeks ago, Californias Governor signed a bill legally downgrading homosexual activity between an adult and a minor 14 or over, as long as theres less than a 10-year age gap between the two and consent was given. Lawmakers said the bill was necessary for the equality of LGBT people, because heterosexual sex between a minor and an adult has already been decriminalized along the same lines.
I hate to say this, but the train of pedophilia has left the station. The kids definitely wont be fine.
Note: The original version of this commentary stated that Californias new law decriminalized homosexual activity between an adult and a minor 14 and older, as long as theres less than a 10-year age gap between the two and consent was given. The California law we referred to, SB 145, does not fully decriminalize the activity but allows judicial discretion as to whether the offender should be added to the sex offender registry. Sexual conduct between adults and minors is still illegal in California. We remain concerned about lessening the restrictions on offenders, but we regret any misunderstanding caused by our error.

We joke about women and children hardest hit but they are.
I know we are also the ones advocating for this disintegration. But the men who truly do run society should not allow it.
Just like I didnt allow my kids to self harm even though they sometimes agitated for it.
Now these same lawyers are advertising to find boys who were molested by homosexual troop leaders so they can sue the now bankrupt BSA.
These people are in a lifelong crusade against decency and must be stopped and held to account for their actions.
Yes, this is just the latest phase in the natural progression of “acceptable” sexual perversion in mainstream cinema to normalize it.
They seek to normalize their behavior to achieve easier access to MOLEST YOUR CHILDREN!

On page 37, the other relevant result relates to men.
The 13th research question addressed, of homosexual men who have been molested, what percentage were molested before self-identification as homosexual men, and what percentage were molested after self-identification as homosexual? Of homosexual men who were molested, 68% were molested before self-identification as homosexual, and 32% were molested after self-identification as homosexual.
The Left's Push For Pedophile Acceptance
If you want my Word Doc. with links to 20 other studies supporting this position, Private Message me.
I've been posting this message for over 10 years and it is no longer arguable.
Like the law that Grusome just signed into law concerning kids.
Bingo. Seeing those trial lawyer commercials make me sick to my stomach.
After pedophilia they’ll be after bestiality.
Bestiality not far behind. The rot of a nation usually destroys it
