NEW YORK – The underlying assumption that has led to the increasing legitimization of same-sex marriage is now fueling a growing effort in academic circles to mainstream pedophilia.
Once considered taboo, psychologists are beginning to walk down the same path LGBT activists established more than 50 years ago, insisting that pedophilia is an inborn “sexual orientation,” not a learned sexual behavior.
If people are born with a sexual attraction to minors, the argument goes, their “orientation” should be accepted as normative and not stigmatized.
James Cantor, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in the Law and Mental Health Program at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, a large mental health and teaching hospital in Canada and an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto, is regarded internationally as a leading “sexologist” studying pedophilia.
Cantor says his research concludes pedophiles share distinct characteristics of “brain wiring.” He contends some 1 to 5 percent of all men are predisposed to be primarily sexually attracted to children.
In a New York Times report on Cantor’s work Dec. 22, reporter Laura Kane noted pedophilia “has been widely viewed as a psychological disorder triggered by early childhood trauma.”
However, many experts now, she wrote, “see it as a biologically rooted condition that does not change – like a sexual orientation – thanks largely to a decade of research by Dr. James Cantor at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.”
Last fall, the American Psychological Association caused an uproar when the latest edition of its vaunted Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders called pedophilia a “sexual orientation.”
After inquiries from news organizations, the APA issued a “correction” stating “sexual orientation” is not a term “used in the diagnostic criteria

One cannot choose to not be a pedophile, but one can choose to not be a child molester.
So, in his contention, a pedophile is not a child molester, if he chooses not to be a child molester.
So, therefore, he is not a pedophile as long as he does not molest a child.
Or something like that.
False academia are sometimes obtuse buttheads, especially when they are defending something they like and are a passionate advocate and adherent of.
Methinks Mr. Cantor is a faggot with child-molesting tendencies.
No, I am not. I am quite old-fashioned in my cultural views (hubby and I are celebrating our 33rd anniversary today); mostly because all of the stuff that the Left has shoved down our throats has not made things better. Especially not for children.
I do have Libertarian leanings, especially in economics. I used to be a live and let live person; but, the Left, and especially this very noxious Gay branch, simply will not leave me alone. So, I have had to decide what I think about them, and, I don't like them. They are bullies. And, they are the ones who have made me think this way.
As Eric Erickson is fond of saying: "You will be made to care." So, I had to think about it; and, I don't like these people, at all.
Pedophilia and polygamy; and to a lesser extent, beastiality, must be “normalized”, to facilitate full Islamization of the West.
Islam: the cutting edge of the sword of ‘The Beast System’ that paves the way for The Beast, himself.

It makes sense to me!
We all kind of muse around here at FR about where the line is when we need to start shooting some of these liberal fascist jackboots...
I think we’ve found that line.
Anyone caught having relations with a minor should be terminated.
I should hope so. Vet bills are nuts. They charge whatever they want. Need the dog and cat covered under our family plan.
Makes it sound like a guy having a 'midlife crisis' trading in 1-40 for 2-20's, rather then it's true meaning.
Control the language....
They wouldn’t like my response as a Calvinist. If they are born that way, it simply means God has predestined them to damnation. It in no way excuses them of their predilection or their actions.
Jacob I loved, Esau I hated .... Romans 9:11-13
And authorities who fail to uphold laws that protect the innocent are as guilty as the perps.
Amazing...seems Uncle Joe got the libs to do his work for him.
Happy Anniversary! 33 years is awesome. Here’s to many more.
Your views sound almost exactly the same as mine.
At one point in my early 20’s, I was very tolerant of the homosexual point of view. Live and let live like you say, but that was before I forced myself to spend some nauseating hours studying the reality of their lifestyle. It is ugly and every freedom loving American owes it to themselves to understand the true homosexual perspective, not just the sanitized one they trot out to fool us.
I generally don’t mind (or even need to know) what people do to amuse themselves in their free time, but there’s one caveat. They cannot hurt anyone else or damage society in the process. The homosexual agenda is designed to do both. When kids get negatively affected, the line has most emphatically been crossed.
Well said.
Why do I have a suspicion that pedophelia will only be politically correct for homosexuals?
What about “Botanality” Sex with trees?
You’re probably spot on with that.
That’s Algore’s fetish...
Thanks for posting. It’s so sad to see Western culture deteriorated to this point.
Gonna be a lot of dead perverts showing up soon.
