I remember that at least until the late 1980s, it was absolutely normal that homosexual lobbyists would advocate lowering (or even remove) the age of consent. Not just the NAMBLA people, all of them. I wonder when that changed, and if that change was only of tactical nature..
Massmike has a link to the original “Gay Rights” platform in which they demand a repeal of ALL age of consent laws. I thought I saved it and can’t find it so I’m pinging him. They have sinced removed that “demand” and yes, it is only tactical. In fact a couple of aggressive homosexuals I discussed that with (when they banged on my door at 10 PM because they didn’t like my bumper sticker) told me that they realized that “people weren’t ready” for that particular demand.

I think this “the people aren’t ready for this so we have to lie about it” thing has become a standard excuse for a lot of things among leftists. It has become so bad that you can’t trust any of them anymore. You never know if they aren’t lying about their beliefs because they think you’re “not yet ready” for the truth…
Here it is.....
