This is for those that poo poo my statements about how NAMBLA is trying to push it's vile agenda. People can put their head in the sand about this but it's only a matter of time. They will do it the same exact way that homosexual activists did it. Below are some articles that SUBSTANTIATE my claim.
www.albatrus.org/english/lien_of_oz/homosexuality/homosexuality_normalised.htm
"A 9/11/1993 Human Events article said ILGA calls on all members to treat all sexual minorities with respect..." The recognition of pedophiles as a distinct 'sexual minority' is a key demand of advocates of adult-child sex. By making claims as a 'minority,' pederasts can essentially follow in the footsteps of homosexual activists and demand legal and societal changes to guarantee their 'rights.'"... "
"Six years later, a June 11, 2003 article from CNSNews.com said "Psychiatric Association Debates Lifting Pedophilia Taboo". In a step critics charged could result in decriminalizing sexual contact between adults and children, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) recently sponsored a symposium in which participants discussed the removal of pedophilia from an upcoming edition of the psychiatric manual of mental disorders. Homosexuality was once considered a crime but later declared by the APA to be a treatable "mental illness" is now considering pedophilia as natural. "

"Useful Idiot" Update (5 -- 2003)
In noting the passing of Harry Hay -- the man who first organized homosexuals as a political minority -- no mainstream media outlets reported that Hay was an advocate of pedophile rights and the notorious group NAMBLA.
NAMBLA is the North American Man/Boy Love Association, a group that advocates for the legalization of sex between men and boys, and an end to all "age of consent" laws.
Hay, who died on 24 October 2002, at age 90, formed the first American homosexual activist group, the Mattachine Society, in 1950. He conceived of the idea of organizing homosexuals at a time when most were afraid to even be discovered as such. Hay was also a committed Communist who married to hide his homosexuality so that he could join the Party.
He went of to found The Radical "Faeries," a shamanistic spirituality movement for homosexual men. "Gay pride" parades frequently include local contingents of "Faeries": -- semi-naked men prancing and dancing in variations of Native American rituals.
Hay strongly opposed the notion that "gays" should assimilate into [the] larger "straight" culture. Thus, in the eighties and nineties, when homosexual activists began banning NAMBLA from "gay pride" parades to clean up their public image, he and other "gay" liberationists were outraged.
In 1994, Hay, then in his eighties, was among the signers of a "Spirit of Stonewall" proclamation that argued that efforts to ban NAMBLA from the New York "pride" parade violated the spirit of the original Stonewall "rebellion," which is revered by homosexual activists as the spark of the modern "gay rights" movement. (In 1969, homosexuals and others then regarded as deviants rioted in response to a police crackdown of the Stonewall Inn in New York City.)
The Spirit of Stonewall (SOS) declaration read in part: "Stonewall was the spontaneous action of marginal people oppressed by the mainstream -- of teenaged drag queens, pederasts, transsexuals, hustlers, and others despised by respectable straights and 'discreet' homosexuals.
"SOS is an ad hoc committee of lesbian, gay and other individuals and groups formed to bring Stonewall 25 [celebrating the 25th anniversary of the riots] back to the principles of gay liberation. We focus on one of the most glaring departures from those principles: the attempt to exclude [NAMBLA].
"NAMBLA'S record as a responsible gay organization is well known. NAMBLA was spawned by the gay community and has been in every major gay and lesbian march. ... NAMBLA'S call for the abolition of age of consent is not the issue. NAMBLA is a bona fide participant in the gay and lesbian movement. NAMBLA deserves strong support in its rights of free speech and association and its members' protection from discrimination and bashing."
In 1986, Hay's pro-NAMBLA activism had a role in what became known in homosexual circles as the "Harry Hay incident." As part of a protest against the Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade, Hay taunted organizers for excluding the North American Man/Boy Love Association by wearing a sandwich board that read, "NAMBLA Walks with Me." This event is chronicled by Hay's biographer, homosexual writer Stuart Timmons in The Trouble with Harry Hay: Founder of the Modern Gay Movement. The book includes a photo of Hay in the NAMBLA sandwich board.
More recently, Hay wrote an essay for the pederasty magazine GAYME, according to a "queer" magazine Web site. GAYME is a magazine for men who are sexually "into boys," according to one Web reviewer. It is produced by former NAMBLA Bulletin editor Bill Andriette.
Timmons' sympathetic biography of Hay reveals that he had his first homosexual sexual encounter at age nine, with another boy. At age 14, in a grove of trees, he "discovered his first [homosexual] lovemaking" with a 25-year-old sailor named Matt. Hay refused to describe the experience as "molestation," according to Timmons, "to make the point of how sharply gay life differs from homosexual norms." The account continues: "As a child," [Hay} explained, "I molested an adult until I found out what I needed to know." ... Far from being an experience of "molestation," Harry always described it as "the most beautiful gift that a fourteen-year-old ever got from his first love!"
A Nexis database search of Harry Hay obits in over 30 print news outlets -- including The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Associated Press and Time Magazine -- turned up no mention of his pro-NAMBLA advocacy.

AFA Journal, June, 2001How the homosexual agenda is targeting children
If there is one area of the debate over homosexuality that seems to make pro-family groups squeamish and homosexuals indignant, it is the issue of molestation. Do homosexuals pose a direct danger to children?
It is probably safe to say that, for most of this century most Americans intuitively saw homosexuals as a threat to their children. After all, homosexuality was by definition a sexual perversion, and where there was one perversion (homosexuality) there would likely be another (molestation).
But by the mid-1990s homosexual activists had succeded is hijacking the public debate on sexual orientation issues, and a new creed had replaced the old: homosexuals posed no danger to children.
Is this true? Are children safe in the presence of homosexuals, or are they in danger of sexual abuse that may, in fact, lead them into the homosexual lifestyle?
Homosexuality and pedophila
It should be said from the outset that a homosexual orientation does not automatically lead to pedophilia, and most homosexuals do not abuse children. Moreover, most homosexual activist groups publicly denounce pedophilia.
But that is not the end of the story. Psychiatrist Jeffrey Satinover says in his book Homosexuality and the Politicis of Truth that there is a "substantial, influential, and growing segment of the homosexual community that neither hides nor condemns pedophilia."
One reason for this may be that the homosexual movement is based on the rather simple ethic of individual sexual freedom. In the activist magazine Gayme, writer Bill Andriette said, "The only standard for moral sex… is that it be freely and equally consented to by the persons involved."
From that sexual ethic to one which includes intergenerational sex is but a short leap. Andriette said, "There is no question that blacks, whites, women, men, children, and adolescents can consent to sex … . If we want really to respect the authenticity of individuals we have to let people take risks, explore different values, and recognize that we will be challenged and threatened by what they discover." (Emphasis added.)
This homosexual perspective was in full view nearly three decades ago, with the release of the 1972 Gay Rights Platform. Activists in Chicago, representing the fledgling homosexual movement, demanded the "[r]epeal of all state laws prohibiting private sexual acts involving consenting persons," and the "[r]epeal of all laws governing the age of sexual consent."
Such homosexuals see society’s disapproval of adult-child sex as the transgression, rather than the adult-child sex itself. In The Age Taboo: Gay Male Sexuality, Power and Consent, lesbian author Pat Califia said, "Boy lovers and the lesbians who have young lovers … are not child molesters. The child abusers are priests, teachers, therapists, cops and parents who force their staid morality onto the young people in their custody."
Moreover, for many homosexuals, this same-sex attraction to minors may stem from their own sexual experiences. Research shows that very often homosexuals had their own initial same-sex encounter with an adult while children. (See AFA Journal, May 1999.)
Writing in The Advocate, a magazine for homosexuals, Carl Maves agreed. "How many gay men, I wonder, would have missed out on a valuable, liberating experience – one that initiated them into their sexuality – if it weren’t for so-called molestation?" he said.
Perhaps the most notorious group advocating adult-child sex is the North American Man/Boy Association (NAMBLA). An unashamedly pedophile organization, NAMBLA wants society to appreciate, rather than deplore, intergenerational sex, and to abolish laws banning sex between adults and minors.
While most homosexual activist groups publicly denounce NAMBLA and its agenda, the pedophile group is still allowed to march in "gay" pride parades in New York, San Francisco and Boston under its own NAMBLA banner.
Furthermore, some suggest that public disavowal of NAMBLA by homosexual groups is a smokescreen. David Thorstad, a founding member of NAMBLA and former president of New York’s Gay Activists Alliance, says homosexual activists have supressed pedophilia in order "to sanitize the image of homosexuality to facilitate its entrance into the social mainstream."
Do homosexuals molest children?
Such talk of molestation enrages homosexual activists, eliciting charges that pro-family groups paint the entire homosexual community with too broad a brush. They argue that such pro-pedophile views are simply the perspective of fringe groups.
Homosexuals additionally charge that most molestation cases involve heterosexuals. One frequently-cited study (Jenny, Roesler, & Poyer, 1994), published in Pediatrics, supposedly demonstrated that 98% of men who abused children self-identified as heterosexual.
But in a review of the Jenny study, Dr. Paul Cameron of Family Research Institute said the researchers merely examined hospital charts: "[N]either the victims, perpetrators, nor even those who prepared the charts were interviewed" to discover their sexual orientation.
In fact, said Cameron, in the only study (Erickson, Walbek, & Seely, 1988) in which perpetrators were asked to declare their sexual orientation, almost the opposite was found to be true: 86% of child molesters identified themselves as homosexual or bisexual.
But if heterosexuals make up the preponderance of child molesters in raw numbers, it is not surprising. Heterosexuals, after all, make up more than 97% of the population.
A more accurate assessment, however, would compare ratios of population size to incidences of involvement in pedophilia. In this regard, according to the National Association on Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH), in proportion to their numbers, homosexual men are more likely to engage in sex with a minor.
Citing a study (Freund & Watson, 1992) which was reported in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, NARTH found that homosexual males were "three times more likely than straight men to engage in adult-child sexual relations."
Cameron’s own research shows even higher rates of homosexual molestation. In the Nebraska Medical Journal Cameron said that when data from both genders are combined, homosexuals are at least 8-12 times more likely to molest children than heterosexuals.
In the face of such overwhelming evidence, homosexual activists resort to a circular argument: since true homosexuals only desire sex with another adult, then pedophiles cannot be homosexual. In effect, activists have simply defined homosexual molestation of children out of existence.
But the words of homosexuals themselves betray them. Writing in the homosexual magazine Out, columnist Dan Savage mentioned that he lives near a park where some local high school soccer teams practice. "Some of the boys are really something else, and during practice they play shirts and skins. Any gay man who tells you he can walk by a boy’s soccer team without looking is a liar…," Savage said.
Homosexual access to children
Such evidence has chilling public policy implications. The momentous changes in Americans’ attitudes towards sexual orientation is giving homosexuals unprecedented access to the nation’s children.
Parents, for example, were mortified when New York City’s WNBC-TV uncovered the existence of pedophiles within the public school system. According to an article by John Leo in U.S. News & World Report, the City Board of Education had known about at least one pedophile – teacher Peter Melzer – since 1984, but did nothing about it.
Melzer, as it turned out, is on the NAMBLA steering committee and the editorial board of the organization’s periodical, the NAMBLA Bulletin. In the past, the Bulletin has recommended the best tactics to its pedophile readers for seducing children into sexual encounters.
Leo said, "Child molesters don’t just hang around playgrounds. They apply for jobs at schools, camps, the Boy Scouts, Big Brothers, YMCAs. ‘Boy lovers’ love to work where the boys are."
When pedophiles strike, the results are often disastrous. A recent review (Holmes and Slap, 1998) of the research on the molestation of boys, published in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), showed that adolescent boys who were abused by men were up to 7 times more likely to identify themselves as homosexual or bisexual.
Furthermore, research also provides a strong link between the sexual abuse of a child and that child’s later pedophilia as an adult. At the Connecticut Correctional Institution, for example, clinical psychologist A. Nicholas Groth, director of the sex offender program, said 85% of the pedophiles were themselves sexually assaulted as youths.
This casts certain parts of the homosexual agenda in a more sinister light – such as the drive to lower the legal age of sexual consent and to expunge sodomy laws from the books. It might also cause parents to wonder why homosexual activists are tireless in their efforts to use the courts as a crowbar to pry open the doors of the Boy Scouts to homosexual troop leaders.
Again, it would be unfair to imply that all – or even most – homosexuals are a threat to children. Nevertheless, there are some elements of the homosexual movement which openly endorse pedophilia. And opening the social "doors" to all homosexual groups will allow pedophile groups in as well.
What will research show in ten years? twenty years? Will we discover that we have handed over an entire generation of young people, only to discover that the percentages of homosexuals in this nation has doubled or tripled?
If it is true, as evidence suggests, that children can be recruited into the homosexual lifestyle, what will history say about a generation of adults that swallowed – hook, line and sinker – the lies fabricated by the very ones who abused their children?
