I can almost smell the fear of public discourse on pedophiles... Why oh why, would that be...
Who has heen running the biz so far? Where do all these desperate women abandon their unaborted kids at?

First, i pointed out that the LGB... lobby or movement or whatever you might call it has been hijacked by those who want to use it to promote the perverted sick agenda of normalizing pedophilia.

From what I understand, the issue was an attempt to help those who struggle with the attraction for reasons they don't understand and never acted on it because they knew it was wrong and illegal. But they struggled with trying to understand why their brains were wired the way they were but were afraid to seek therapy and counseling for fear of being incarcerated for something they couldn't understand, but never acted on.

I know this seems hypocritical because I value the sanctity of life and go to extreme lengths to try and come up with various alternatives to just killing people. But some folks are so pathologically ingrained to their behaviour that no amount of therapy will help them and it's a lost cause.

I'm partially responsible for letting the thread drift. My OP was about the woman's admission that the LGB... movement has really been coopted by pedophiles and that much of the community is supporting that, either actively or passively.

Pedophilia is VERY often the result of the perpetrator being abused as a child themselves. As I said, if someone is attracted to children and wants therapy for it, they should be able to get it. Digging up and facing their own past trauma very well could "convert" them, for lack of a better term. Cure maybe?
Lust is a desire for sexual gratification. The brain's hypothalamus influences the production of the hormones testosterone and estrogen. This drives our feelings of sexual desire. When we are attracted to someone, our brains release high levels of dopamine and norepinephrine. www.verywellmind.com...

... but for some reason or another the LGBTQ community feel like they need to defend it and as for the Pedophiles they are just hiding behind the LGBTQ community and like I said they are quick to defend even if they don't fully understand what they are defending .
This points to what I said previously, that one you remove the boundaries and moral anchors, you end up adrift and have no point of moral reference. Then, anything and everything becomes acceptable.

I appreciate your perspective. As to your "rights," have any of your fundamental rights ever been denied due to your sexual orientation?
As a point of reference, I firmly believe that any sexual activity outside of traditional hetreosexual marriage is wrong in that it is damaging both to individuals and to society as a whole. I do not feel, however, that this means that I have a right to deny you your essential rights as a human.
What you practice in the privacy of your own home is your business, just as what I practice in mine is my own business. In the context of a personal conversation, I might express my belief to you and explain why I feel that way. Some people would see that as "threatening" or "unloving," but in a free society it is a crucial party if the exchange of ideas. Much of the social tension that exists today is because so many want to parade what they do in public and force people like me to approve of it. I don't parade my relationship with my wife of almost 40 years in public (notwithstanding a remark I made in the previously mentioned thread) and I don't care for others doing it.

Oh, I'm sure it occurs naturally. I'm just saying that it could be the product of them suffering past abuse themselves, and that could possibly be cured via therapy.

I once spoke to a sicko pervert on the old days of yahoo chat private messaging who bragged about his predisposition who lived in a tightly controlled gated community for offenders.
Children were not permitted on the premises.
He was not allowed outside the gates, his food was delivered by parcel but was still allowed internet access to collect and solicit imagery.
He was making requests of single mothers online for certain "staged scenes" and compensating them financially.
Where he's getting his financial fund from, where these communities are located and who's funding them I have no idea.
That's all I can offer.

WOW! Sounds like a wealthy family coverup -- unless it's some kind of social experiment.
That they continue to let him solicit is not OK. There's still a victim.

I propose a new acronym. ALGBTQ, the A stands for adult because apparently it needs to be underlined.

I am 100% on board with ethical restrictions in the education industry where underage students are at risk, but what you just admitted is prejudice against healthy adult sexuality.

But saying it could be naturally occurring does not go over very well.
