The next homosexualist goal: elimination of “age of consent”, license for pedophiles
WDTPRS ^ | 10/21/2013 | Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

I have been writing for a long time now that the next step in the homosexualist agenda is to eliminate the “age of consent” limit.   They approach their goals through creeping (and creepy) incrementalism.  They will eventually rehabilitate even pedophilia, with the consent and aid of the mainstream media and liberals everywhere, even within the Church.

From LifeSite (I’ll cut some bits out, but read the whole thing over there):

The homosexual Left’s new crusade: Normalizing adult-child sex

by Matt Barber

Mon Oct 14, 2013 11:53 EST
October 11, 2013 (WND) – So much for the left’s “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.

[...]

Here’s the answer: There is no question. There is categorically a movement to normalize pedophilia. I’ve 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 child’s sexuality.”“
Children are not inherently unable to consent” to sex with an adult.
An adult’s desire to have sex with children is “normative.” [NB: Not "normal" but "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 Association’s 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: [Did I mention "creeping incrementalism"?] The reason “homosexuality was taken out of DSM is that people didn’t want the government in the bedroom,” he said.
[... some ugly stuff here...]
You may think that such abject evil simply represents the fringe of today’s sexual “progressivism.” It doesn’t. It represents the honest.

Consider, for instance, that during Obama’s 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.  [From the First Gay President!]

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.

[...]

Again, read the rest there.

Mark my words, dear readers.  Do you think this isn’t going on?  You are deluding yourselves.

For decades our society has been slowly but surely and purposely shifted by those in control of the mainstream media and entertainment industry.

At first, because of the rise of AIDS, active homosexuals were constantly portrayed as innocent, though perhaps quirky, victims. Once the notion of homosexuality was shifted from its moorings and a new status was created in the minds of the public, another shift took place in the media. Now, TV shows and movies are saturated with homosexuals who are far more sophisticated, with it, intelligent, good looking than their more dysfunctional heterosexual counterparts. Victim time is over. It is cool to be “gay”.

For years an artificial sub-culture has been carefully crafted.  It is busting out into a “new normal”.

The are more goals down the line.

You can see where this is going.

I also direct your attention to an article in First Things back in 2009.  Already this trend was being noticed by others.  HERE  One point in the article is that even through pedophila lost its “cool” aspect among elitists along the way, it is regaining it.  It was being rehabilitated in some circles.  That was in 2009.

Keep your eyes on this, friends.  It is going to get a lot worse.

The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the Bay
I left my heart in San Francisco...

this seemed to fit. NAMBLA would be right at home in Ancient Rome as it is in San Francisco

might as well call it live colon organ harvesting for them.

Our society is diseased and sick... and I am not talking about homosexuals, but these robots of liberal moderation who have allowed this to creep in their households somehow.

The homosexuals do not procreate; therefore, they need our children.

The government education spider web systems helps them.

Obama sends memos to staffers encouraging the hiring of LGBT candidates.

Years ago they attacked us as homophobes for saying it would lead to pedophilia and bestiality.

license for pedophiles

Pedophiles are only socially acceptable when they are hanging from a rope, right along side their supporters.

Because Woodrow Wilson had a dream for America, both domestically and internationally— a dream that has become our nightmare.

Many of us have seen this one coming for years. What concerns me is the extremely oblique line of attack I am seeing in this cause-namely trying to build a consensus that consent is determined solely by the parties involved. I've had several otherwise conservative people tell me that "why would you want to ruin somebodies life just for fooling around with a teenager? After all, it was consensual sex."

Once the definition of consent is made subjective rather than objective, Katy bar the door. If the word of a minor is all it takes to establish consentuality most children are fair game.

That's the point of it. The law accepts minors' consenting to sex under some conditions, such as with someone the same age. It can reasonably be argued that laws denying their capacity to consent in other situations are purely arbitrary.

And there are still some people who argue that the Slippery Slope is a logical fallacy.

We will have to slide all the way to Gomorrah before they open their eyes. Or not.

Remains to be seen, as the sign says. Tomorrow could be the day things start to turn around.

Or not.

I’m not holding my breath. I have yet to see any prog social “reform” rolled back after it became widely accepted. But it doesn’t relieve us of our obligation to bar the way.

Indeed. They say the slippery slope argument is a “logical fallacy” but then never actually refute it.
