In 1972, when the homosexual activists first got together for a big meeting to decide on their political goals (probably described in "And the Band Played On" - the book scripter has put links to elsewhere), one of their demands was ABOLITION of age of consent laws. Then they realized that wasn't going to go over yet, so the decided to do it incrementally.
Getting homosexualists into the professions, especially academia, was part of the plan, to gradually normalize sexual exploitation of children.
While I have the book And the Band Played On by Shilts, that's not the book I've recently linked to. That book was After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the 1990s by Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen. Anybody can read an accurate summary of the book if they're interested. Both books are excellent reads.
Wow. Homosexuals are so clever. No wonder the Illuminati were no match for us.
