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.”
The
White House praised the bill saying, “At root, this isn’t just about our laws;
this is about who we are as a people. This is about whether we value one
another – whether we embrace our differences rather than allowing them to
become a source of animus.”
Earlier
this year two psychologists in Canada declared that pedophilia is a sexual
orientation just like homosexuality or heterosexuality.
Van
Gijseghem, psychologist and retired professor of the University of Montreal,
told members of Parliament, “Pedophiles are not simply people who commit a
small offense from time to time but rather are grappling with what is
equivalent to a sexual orientation just like another individual may be
grappling with heterosexuality or even homosexuality.”
He
went on to say, “True pedophiles have an exclusive preference for children,
which is the same as having a sexual orientation. You cannot change this
person’s sexual orientation. He may, however, remain abstinent.”
When
asked if he should be comparing pedophiles to homosexuals, Van Gijseghem
replied, “If, for instance, you were living in a society where heterosexuality
is proscribed or prohibited and you were told that you had to get therapy to
change your sexual orientation, you would probably say that that is slightly
crazy. In other words, you would not accept that at all. I use this analogy to
say that, yes indeed, pedophiles do not change their sexual orientation.”
Dr.
Quinsey, professor emeritus of psychology at Queen’s University in Kingston,
Ontario, agreed with Van Gijseghem. Quinsey said pedophiles’ sexual interests
prefer children and, “There is no evidence that this sort of preference can be changed
through treatment or through anything else.”
In
July, 2010 Harvard health Publications said, “Pedophilia is a sexual
orientation and unlikely to change. Treatment aims to enable someone to resist
acting on his sexual urges.”
Linda
Harvey, of Mission America, said the push for pedophiles to have equal rights
will become more and more common as LGBT groups continue to assert themselves.
“It’s all part of a plan to introduce sex to children at younger and younger
ages; to convince them that normal friendship is actually a sexual attraction.”
Milton
Diamond, a University of Hawaii professor and director of the Pacific Center
for Sex and Society, stated that child pornography could be beneficial to
society because, “Potential sex offenders use child pornography as a substitute
for sex against children.”
Diamond
is a distinguished lecturer for the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human
Sexuality in San Francisco. The IASHS openly advocated for the repeal of the
Revolutionary war ban on homosexuals serving in the military.
The
IASHS lists, on its website, a list of “basic sexual rights” that includes “the
right to engage in sexual acts or activities of any kind whatsoever, providing
they do not involve nonconsensual acts, violence, constraint, coercion or
fraud.” Another right is to, “be free of persecution, condemnation,
discrimination, or societal intervention in private sexual behavior” and “the
freedom of any sexual thought, fantasy or desire.” The organization also says
that no one should be “disadvantaged because of age.”
Sex offender laws protecting children have been
challenged in several states including California, Georgia and Iowa. Sex
offenders claim the laws prohibiting them from living near schools or parks are
unfair because it penalizes them for life.
