The Flag That Pedophiles Are Trying To Legitimize

The Flag That Pedophiles Are Trying To Legitimize

A group of pedophiles are attempting to be part of the LGBTI community.

This group known as MAPs (or Minor Attracted Persons) has been circulating its own version of the Pride flag.

MAPs attempts to soften the idea of pedophilia by insisting it’s not wrong if there is no contact.

‘“John” was suicidal. He had been bullied by trolls on social media for most of his life for being different,’ a passage on The Prevention Project about MAPs reads. ‘The bullies were primarily people who claimed, based on their religious beliefs, that “John” was going to hell and deserved to die. They described how they would kill him on his twitter page and people supported their hate. Desperate for help, John sought treatment for his shame, depression, and suicidality. Although he was scared to share about himself with a stranger, he felt desperate for help as he had NO desire to harm anyone, ever. Once he shared about his attraction to children, his therapist told him, “I don’t treat sex offenders.”

‘First, let’s be clear. “John” is not a child molester nor is he a sex offender. He has an attraction to children. He is also fervent about helping prevent child sexual abuse by speaking out against it and by showing his support of global child sexual abuse prevention programs on his social media. “John” deserves support as do others who have a minor attraction. After all, isolation and depression are known to increase one’s risk of doing something they might regret.

‘By the way, we have talked to “Janes” who are women who identify as anti-contact, non-offending pedophiles and like “John”, they have no desire to sexually harm children.’

Considering the long-standing trope that LGBTI people are rapists and/or child molesters, the fact those who actually have attraction to children are attempting to co-opt LGBTI spaces is disturbing.

And there has been a furious backlash on the social media, with many users warning LGBTI people and allies to be wary of the MAPs flag during Pride season. Additionally, many also called out the problematic nature of using a term like ‘minor attracted persons’ to normalize pedophilia.

    This was expected. And they are going to use same line of argument LGBTs used and are using.

    Jesus Christ. I never knew LGBT people could be so hateful? WTF? Hey, I don’t support pedophilia. More accurately, I know nothing about pedophilia. I just know that it’s an attraction to children. But could y’all just pause for a second and listen to what these folks have to say?

    I just read, “Have you ever heard of the following words used in the same sentence: anti-contact pedophile? How about a non-offending pedophile? Some don’t believe that a person who has pedophilia can actually avoid being a child molester or a sexual predator. But, it is possible. After all, this is an UNCHOSEN CONDITION. Just because someone is attracted to a child does not mean they are automatically going to sexually abuse them.”

    If I can remember correctly, a lesbian story was posted here some weeks ago, and the author said that she always preferred girls a bit younger than her? Isn’t that just pedophilia at a lower degree? I know I felt a slight itch in my tummy when I read that confession, but I would never HATE on such a person.

    Yes, child molesters are responsible for a lot of the hate that we–the LGBT–receive(d), but if we’re going to relay that hate onto another group of people, then fuck y’all. I can’t mask my disappointment.

      Of course you’re right. We’re working on flag too for sociopaths who haven’t made a kill yet.

      I believe in freedom, equity and rights and minors have a right not to be sexualized by adults. Imagine allowing Boko Haram sympathizers acquire arms just because they’re yet to kill anyone.

      Psychologically, anyone below 13 can’t give consent to sex (esp with an adult). Some 15, 16 & 17year olds may be aware enough to know what they want, but if we can’t let them vote, get into politics, get married, sign contracts, etc. we certainly can’t find them sexually attractive.

      The thing you should educate yourself about is this; for every human sexuality it almost always takes people in the same wavelength to tango. Minors aren’t attracted to pedophiles.

    I wish more people would comment on this post so we can have an idea of the general thoughts concerning this. My questions are on what exactly “pedophiles” are fighting for and how far they want to go physically with “children”; what age definitions do they give to “children” and what qualifies as “consent.”

    Then we can have a conversation about this baby elephant in the room.

    This is nothing but an attempt by some homophobes to hijack the LGBT community. Anybody can create a flag and claim it represents something. You know it is fake, by the simple fact that it appears during LGBT Pride month. There are already people marrying children, based on it being acceptable in their religions. There is no way the LGBT community condones, acknowledges or has any association with those kinds of people, and attempts to try to connect a community of oppressed people, fighting for their rights to exist and live, with people who want to take advantage of children, makes absolutely no answer.

    Stop perpetuating this homophobic trope. That flag is a red herring and there is no way anyone inclined towards potential child molestation, is looking for a flag. Stupid people like Bee making daft arguments, is disgusting and this conversation should not even be given any traction. Too many lives have been destroyed by paedophiles, for there to be any debate legitimizing child sexual predation. This site is filth for even entertaining such a stupid article.

    Unless you have such inclinations, why would anyone consider this a topic of discussion, relevant to LGBT people, beyond the fact that paedophiles exploit and assault vulnerable young LGBT people, more than they do straight infants who are afforded more social security?

    You want more comments. This is concerning. Nobody should have ever made this flag it is disgusting. Really the representation of attraction toward CHILDREN GUCKING CHILDREN. that is called pedophilia should not be supported. Anyone using this flag needs to be locked up and put in therapy. I do not care if u aren’t acting upon it u are still secualizing and looking at children our children with the look of I want to have sex with that child. Fuck u and ur fucking gross.

    I completely give some credence to this. I mean if you have insane people walking around, not knowing what a woman is, it’s going to be like a ball of snow gaining traction and getting bigger. And if you have people actually trying to make allowing children to get trans surgery and pills legal of course it will go to the next logical step well if they can choose their gender why can’t they choose to have sex? I don’t care if you’re an adult who wants to be trans, nobody truly does. But a woman is a human being born with a vagina and a uterus. Males are born with penises and testicles. Those are obviously truths now if you want to be a trans man or woman that’s fine. But if you’re going to try to muddy the waters of truth of course you will create a situation where people ask well what is the truth? Can’t my truth be as valid as your truth? The answer to that is no, truth is truth there’s only one. Plus to everyone who uses phobe like homophobic or transphobic or pedophobic, phobia means to be afraid and nobody is afraid of you or your truth. You are not that important or scary.
