“And no, I am not suggesting that all homosexuals are pedophiles,...”
That’s a common and disingenuous argument. People will tell you that pedophiles prey on children of both ages and don’t typically have a functional adult sexual orientation, homosexual of otherwise. This is true, because pedophilia is defines as an inappropriate attraction to PREPUBESCENT children. Look at the age group involved in Boy Scouts and tell me what’s wrong with that argument. That’s right, the average US Boy goes through puberty around 10 years old. So discussions of real pedophiles are irrelevant to most of the BSA program. Now think about how old are gay prostitutes typically, how old was the boy Harvey Milk was involved with? Yes, exactly Boy Scout age. The pedophilia argument is a straw man, gay men are typically attracted to teen boys. If I tried to make a group that involved middle aged men taking a bunch of 16 year old girls out in the woods, would anyone think that was OK?
Ephebophilia.
I wonder how NAMBLA played into all this. I understand they may have played a role in helping the liberal gay community in establishing credence in our society. I also understand Nancy Pelosi marched along side with the founder of the San Francisco Gay Parade, who just happen to be a supporter of NAMBLA.
