Redefining ‘pedophilia’ as a ‘sexual orientation’
WDTPRS ^ | 10/28/2013 | Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

I have written more than once that a goal of homosexualists includes the elimination of the age of consent.  Goals like this are attained through creeping incrementalism.

I just read this, from the University of Southern California:

Pedophilia Now Classified As A Sexual Orientation

People can classify themselves as heterosexual, homosexual, asexual, metrosexual. There are endless sexual orientations under the sun, and now, pedophilia can be added to the list.
In the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM V), the American Psychological Association (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.  [First step, change the language, change definitions.]

APA’s decision has given rise to numerous pedophilia-advocacy groups, the chief of them being B4U-ACT, a non-profit grassroots organization based in Maryland. Created in 2003 primarily as a means for “minor-attracted persons” to be open about their sexual preferences in a supportive atmosphere, B4U-ACT is now widening the scope of their organization.

According to spokesperson and registered sex offender Paul Christiano, the pedophilia-advocacy group is “working towards de-stigmatizing the mental health community.” Christiano explained that negative societal attitudes towards minor-attracted persons “trickle down to policy-making and the mental health community.”

[...]

Read the rest there.

This is dreadful.

Good. Now that pedophilia is defined as a sexual orientation and the left says that you can’t ‘cure’ people of sexual orientations then can we skip to the chase and start putting child molesters to death instead of pretending to rehabilitate them?

The majority of us define pedophile as “target”.

Actually, they will assume protected class status like the homosexuals.

Homosexuality has always been about the vile molestation of young boys.

Who DIDN’T see this coming?

Those who wanted to advance the agenda at all costs, that’s who.

I will even say they probably saw it coming and didn’t care,
they just denied it so they could get the next step of the agenda advanced.

If Republican’s have a “War on Women” then the Democrats definitely have a “War on Children”. Born and un-born.

Watch how they drive this agenda. First it will be the social media, then “hip” media like MTV putting a more positive spin on it. Pop music and movies will make it seem more mainstream under the guise of being ‘edgy’ and ‘pushing the limits’. The old “not that there’s anything wrong with that” attitude will work it’s way in, just as with queers. They’ll start by trying to decriminalize the borderline cases like when a 18 year old guy has a 16 year old girlfriend and before long, we’ll be at the bottom of another slippery slope.

Only if done with baseball bat, blowtorch and box cutter.

Since I ride a motorcycle to work I’m just going to not bother changing into dress clothes and stay in my leathers, boots, etc. I’ll just tell my boss it’s a sexual fetish and the company has to let me dress how I please to be more inclusive.
