Using
the same tactics used by “gay” rights activists, pedophiles have begun
to seek similar status arguing their desire for children is a sexual
orientation no different than heterosexual or homosexuals.
Critics of the homosexual lifestyle have long claimed that once it
became acceptable to identify homosexuality as simply an “alternative
lifestyle” or sexual orientation, logically nothing would be off limits.
“Gay” advocates have taken offense at such a position insisting this
would never happen. However, psychiatrists are now beginning to advocate
redefining pedophilia in the same way homosexuality was
redefined several years ago.
In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association declassified
homosexuality from its list of mental disorders. A group of
psychiatrists with B4U-Act recently held a symposium proposing a new
definition of pedophilia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Health Disorders of the APA.
B4U-Act calls pedophiles “minor-attracted people.” The organization’s website states
its purpose is to, “help mental health professionals learn more about
attraction to minors and to consider the effects of stereotyping, stigma
and fear.”
In 1998 The APA issued a report claiming “that the ‘negative
potential’ of adult sex with children was ‘overstated’ and that ‘the
vast majority of both men and women reported no negative sexual effects
from childhood sexual abuse experiences.”
Pedophilia has already been granted protected status by the Federal
Government. The Matthew Shephard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes
Prevention Act lists “sexual orientation” as a protected class; however,
it does not define the term.
Republicans attempted to add an amendment specifying that “pedophilia
is not covered as an orientation;” however, the amendment was defeated
by Democrats. Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fl) stated that all alternative
sexual lifestyles should be protected under the law. “This bill
addresses our resolve to end violence based on prejudice and to
guarantee that all Americans, regardless of race, color, religion,
national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or
disability or all of these ‘philias’ and fetishes and ‘isms’ that were
put forward need not live in fear because of who they are. I urge my
colleagues to vote in favor of this rule.”
