Why I think that Gay Rights have Gone Too Far.

Anybody who even dares, nowadays, to suggest in public that gay rights have been, or could be, taken too far, is automatically dismissed with the absurd term “homophobic”.
Let me say at the outset that the word “homophobia” is nonsense. The first half “homo” means “the same” - just as it does in “homophone”, “homologue” and “homogenous”. The second half, “phobia” means an irrational fear. So if the term “homophobia" meant anything at all, it would mean “fear of yourself” or “fear of the same thing”.
It is a pretentious, confused pseudo-word. Such terms are coined by ignorant people who are trying to stifle discussion and impose a form of bigotry that is no less bigoted for being relatively new and fashionable. Frequently people make a casual comparison between being black and being gay. It is a way of trying to short-cut the political argument, and hastily appropriate all the anti-racist laws on behalf of homosexuals. That, too, is nonsense. Nobody – except islamic extremists – wants to re-criminalize homosexuality. That is not what I am advocating. I am saying that recent moves to increase what are called gay rights have gone too far and are in themselves unjust.
The fashionable view is that "sexuality" is a right and that no country should be allowed to legislate regarding it. If so, then why do we have laws against polygamy, paedophilia or rape? They are all forms of sexual behaviour. What about stalking, flashing, or sending people obscene E-mails? That's sexual behaviour too.
Homosexuality (as Jean-Paul Sartre said) is simply a form of behaviour, not like being black at all. Black people could and did for thousands of years live independently on another continent, but homosexuals can only exist as a by-product of a heterosexual society. Homosexuals are completely dependent on heterosexuals to create them. Curiously they never express any gratitude for this, while complaining constantly of persecution. If I want to shock people I have only to point out that dear Oscar Wilde, the gay’s favourite martyr, witty though he was, went to gaol entirely through his own fault. He brought a false libel charge, which is a criminal offence, and he could have got five years for perjury, instead of merely two for making use of rent-boys. I wouldn’t like my son to be used as a rent-boy and I think Oscar got off lightly. The biography by Richard Ellman admits that Oscar and his friends gang-raped an under-age boy. People should learn to accept responsibility for their own actions.
Deciding how far to take one right invariably means considering how it might impinge on another. What is happening now is that “gay rights” have been so over-inflated that they are cutting into the rights of the majority. We have recently seen cases where hotel keepers have been forced by law to rent a double bed to a same-sex couple and adoption agencies compelled to place children with them regardless of the agency's religious affiliations. I think both decisions are wrong. To call that "gay rights" is infringing the right of the hotel keeper or the adoption agency to follow their own ethical and religious beliefs, a right which is actually enshrined in the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
When it comes to adoption, it makes no sense to argue for the “equal rights” of a homosexual couple because nobody has a right to adopt. Adoption takes place in the interests of the child, not the adults. Prospective parents have always been vetted and ruthlessly excluded on grounds of income, age, mental and physical health or family history. Nobody ever treated them as equal. The adoption societies have always acted in what they feel is the best interest of the child concerned. And what about the child’s rights? Surely it has a right to a parent of each gender? That, after all, is what Nature gives every child, and the point of adoption is to re-create as far as possible a natural family for that child. To talk about gays having a right to adopt is to treat the child like a form of merchandise. It is wholly unacceptable.
If fairness is the issue, it seems fair to me to give a child to couples who have experienced biological sterility or repeated miscarriage, because they really can’t have a child of their own. Their need is greater than that of those who simply choose a same-sex partner. The same cannot be said in the case of adoption by for example, a black couple with a history of infertility. Black and gay are not the same issue.
Undoubtedly in my view, it is wrong to force any adoption society to go against its ethics. What about the connection between homosexuality and paedophilia? Why hush it up? [* See note below.]
Amnesty International, the once-prestigious organization that campaigns for Human Rights all over the world, is now preoccupied with gay rights to what appears to me to be a disproportionate extent. I call it disproportionate because it gives so little attention, by comparison, to the appalling persecution of heterosexuals in countless countries of the world. There are dozens of places where heterosexuals cannot choose their own partner without facing violence, social exclusion, murder, torture or imprisonment by their families. A recent TV programme, Unreported World: Love on the Run, highlighted this problem in India where it is estimated that as many as 900 young couples have been murdered in the last few years, simply for wishing to marry without their families’ consent. There has been a wave of violence across the country’s northwest states.

How much do we hear about this issue in the news? Why have we not granted any of these people asylum? Why does Amnesty International consider it a lesser issue than gays being verbally insulted by policemen in downtown Chicago?

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/indian-couple-electrocuted-aafor-daring-to-marry-outside-caste-2001570.html

To get a sense of proportion, let us compare this to the issue of Christians being persecuted all over the world. Yes, thousands of people are subjected to a range of discriminatory behaviour world-wide merely because they want to practise Christianity. Some of them are imprisoned, sacked from their jobs, deprived of their property, driven out of their homes or killed. We curry favour with China and other non-democratic regimes, ignoring their record on religious freedom.
http://www.releaseinternational.org/pages/downloads/world-update-webcast.php

Campaigners here in England tell we must give legal aid to gay Nigerians who want to live here because they face persecution in their native country. What gives them priority over Christians who are persecuted in Nigeria – of which there is very good evidence? Why is there so much fuss made on Wikipedia and the like about gay rights and so little about heterosexual rights, or Christian rights?

Gay rights have got out of all proportion. Rather than claiming equality, homosexuals are in many respects now claiming privilege and special treatment. That is not fair. In fact, it is deeply unjust. It is time that we got our priorities back in order.

UPDATE
Since I wrote this, an employee of an adoption agency has been sacked for refusing to co-operate with gay adoption. A bishop protested that this is religious discrimination and he is right.
Our government bends over backwards to be fair to minorities - what is so fair about sacking Christians?

APPENDIX.
After I wrote this, some people had the cheek to accuse me of "ignorance" for pointing out the connections between homosexuality and paedophilia. So I offer some of the evidence below.
CONCLUSIVE PROOF THAT THE HOMOSEXUALIST MOVEMENT IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A PAEDOPHILE MOVEMENT.
The text of the 1972 Gay Rights Agenda as published by National Coalition of Gay Organizations of the USA Convention held in Chicago in 1972, demanded the abolition of all age-of-consent laws, (along with the legalisation of prostitution, public soliciting for prostitution and polygamy).
This definitive text of the “gay rights” movement did demand to legalize paedophilia and has never been amended or retracted.

“3. Repeal all state laws prohibiting solicitation for private voluntary sexual liaisons; and laws prohibiting prostitution, both male and female.4. Enactment of legislation prohibiting insurance companies and any other state-regulated enterprises from discriminating because of sexual orientation, in insurance and in bonding or any other prerequisite to employment or control of one's personal demesne.5. Enactment of legislation so that child custody, adoption, visitation rights, foster parenting, and the like shall not be denied because of sexual orientation or marital status.6. Repeal of all state laws prohibiting transvestism and cross-dressing.7. Repeal of all laws governing the age of sexual consent.8. Repeal of all legislative provisions that restrict the sex or number of persons entering into a marriage unit; and the extension of legal benefits to all persons who cohabit regardless of sex or numbers.”

Homosexual Behavior & Pedophilia.
A recent full-length Academic Study by Frank V. York and Robert H. Knight.
[Excerpt from introduction...]
Although most homosexual activists publicly deny that they want access to boys, many homosexual groups around the world are working aggressively to lower the age of sexual consent. Their cause is being aided by the professional psychiatric and psychological associations, which have moved
in recent years toward normalizing pedophilia, much as they did with homosexuality in the early 1970s.
Kevin Bishop, an admitted pederast (pedophile), is promoting the work of the North American Man - Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) in South Africa. Bishop, who was molested at the age of six, is also an admitted homosexual who is blunt about the relationship between homosexuality and pedophilia. “ Scratch the average homosexual and you will find a pedophile,” said Bishop in an interview with
the Electronic Mail & Guardian (June 30, 1997 ).1
http://us2000.org/cfmc/Pedophilia.pdf
In 1990, the Journal of Homosexuality produced a special double issue devoted to adult-child sex, which was entitled "Male Intergenerational Intimacy: Historical, Socio-Psychological, and Legal Perspectives," vol. 20, Nos. 1&2, 1990." One article said many pedophiles believe they are "born that way and cannot change" (p. 133). Another writer said a man who counseled troubled teenage boys could achieve "miracles... not by preaching to them, but by sleeping with them." The loving pedophile can offer a "companionship, security and protection" which neither peers nor parents can provide (p. l62). Parents should look upon the pedophile who loves their son "not as a rival or competitor, not as a thief of their property, but as a partner in the boy's upbringing, someone to be welcomed into their home..." (p. 164).
A few years later The Psychological Bulletin, 1998 (July), vol. 124 (1), 22-53, ran an issue by several of the same male homosexual contributors viz. Rind, Bruce, Tromovitch, Philip, and Bauserman, Robert. (Temple U. Dept. of Psychology, Phila., PA). It argued that the "harm" of adult-child sex is largely imaginary or caused by social disapproval.
There is actually an American journal of paedophilia, PAIDIKA, which appears regularly and is run by male homosexuals.

NAMBLA--the North American Man-Boy Love Association--was once the lone voice lobbying for the normalization of pedophilia. NAMBLA representatives march in gay-pride parades as a fringe element of the gay-rights movement. The website of NAMBLA, the organisation campaigning to legalize paedophilia, provides copious evidence of the existence of adult male homosexuals who had a pronounced taste for young boys:-
http://www.nambla.org/famousmen.html
Leonardo da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Christopher Marlowe and André Gide quite rightly figure in the hall of fame, along with Oscar Wilde and dozens of others.
Since homosexuals themselves are so explicit in avowing this, it is certainly odd that gay dogma at the present day denies the existence of adult homosexuals who are attracted to children of their own sex. The myth that paedophiles cannot be categorized as homosexual or heterosexual is at odds with most of the evidence I can find from around the world.

*Research done in Brisbane, Australia found that about 30% of gay men are paedophiles, or have at least some paedophile tendencies. 86% of all paedophiles actually described themselves as being either gay or bisexual. Gay men are 2 to 3 times as likely to engage in paedophilia as straight heterosexual men.
An article in the Independent newspaper for August 1st 1997 reported this piece of research. The Guardian handed this to a gay activist to review, and his response was to say that his partner had vomited on the article. He then made an offensive comparison between the researcher and Helen Keller. That was his idea of logical, scientific discussion.
There have been studies reaching opposite conclusions. Personally I think that the studies concluding No are flawed both in their choice of evidence and their interpretation of it.

>>Peter Tatchell, Gay Activist, Justifies Paedophilia and Calls for Lowering of Age of Consent.
In an article in The Guardian newspaper 26th June 1997, Peter Tatchell demanded that the age of consent for both sexes be lowered to 14. He asserted that sex between adults and children far younger than this was normal and did no harm.
"“The positive nature of some child-adult relations is not confined to non-Western cultures. Several of my friends – gay and straight, male and female – had sex with adults from the ages of 9 to 13. None feel they were abused. All say it was their conscious choice and gave them great joy. While it may be impossible to condone paedophilia, it is time society acknowledged the truth that not all sex involving children is unwanted, abusive and harmful,” said Tatchell, contradicting himself.
In 2010 David Cameron offered Tatchell a peerage for his tremendous contribution to tolerance and opposition to bigotry.

>>>Peter Tatchell in 1997 advocated legalizing pederasty:-
http://www.ipce.info/newsletters/e_22/2_16_Lee.htm
Tatchell uses the format of an interview with a probably fictional 14-year-old boy called Lee who supposedly approves of the policies advocated by Tatchell's group "Outrage". These policies are to lower the age of consent for everybody to 14 and to de-criminalize relationships involving consenting children far below that age. Sex with boys as young as eight is presented with approval and endorsed by Tatchell. The interview casually admits that this lifestyle is connected with drug-taking and prostitution yet denies that those have done any harm to Lee and asserts that any dangers can be eliminated through more "sex education" for very young children.

Tatchell has now removed this link from his own website as he is said to be angling after a peerage.

Dutch Homosexuals Paedophile Group ruled legal in Holland.
The group called Association Martijn, run by the 67-year-old Ad van den Berg, campaigns for the acceptance of paedophilia and the removal of "prejudice and stigma" associated with it.
They complain about "pedo-phobia".
Although several of the homosexual men running it have been prosecuted for molesting under-age boys, police are unable to close the club itself as the illegal activities it advocates take place outside its meetings.
One of its members, 27-year-old Robert Mikelsons, was found to have carried out sexual abuse with 87 children at nurseries in Amsterdam between 2007 and 2010. Mikelsons is "married" to a 37-year-old man who is also a former member of the Association Martijn.

Dutch Homosexual Founded Political Party to Legalize Paedophilia.

Ad van den Berg, a convicted molester of boys, formed a political party in Holland whose agenda included lowering the age of consent to 12. It calls itself the Party for Neighbourly Love, Freedom, and Diversity.(PNVD) Berg is only one of a number of Dutch homosexuals involved in this sort of campaigning, which is perceived by some as being "left-wing" or "progressive".

Professor Ashley Tellis of Department of Liberal Arts at the Indian Institute at Hyderabad wrote an article in 2010 entitled "Man-Boy Love Can Be a Beautiful Thing". He argues that far from wanting to deny any connection with paedophilia,
"homosexuality may sometimes have a lot to do with paedophilia, and, further, that if it is based on mutual consent, it is no big deal."

Stonewall Origins Connected with Paedophilia.

The Stonewall organization exerted a strong influence over the Labour government of Blair and Brown in the UK. It purports to be a gay "rights" movement crusading against unjust victimization. However, even in its origins, Stonewall is deeply implicated in paedophilia and corruption.
The group takes its name from the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York. These riots were claimed by gay activists to be a protest against police harassment of innocent homosexual patrons in a gay bar. However, the riots actually were the result of a police raid on a center for drug trafficking, boy prostitution, and pederasts.

British Gay Activist in Favour of Legalizing Paedophilia
‘TIME TO NORMALIZE PAEDOPHILIA'?
The paedophile group B4U-ACT held a conference at the University of Baltimore, Maryland in August 2011.
Around 50 individuals were in attendance including a number of admitted
pedophiles – or “Minor-Attracted Persons” as they prefer to be
identified in value-neutral terminology.
Jacob Breslow a self-identified homosexual and gay activist who graduated from the London School of Economics spoke in favour of legalizing adult-child sex.
Speakers asserted: -
• Pedophiles are “unfairly stigmatized and demonized” by society. •
There was concern about “vice-laden diagnostic criteria” and “cultural
baggage of wrongfulness.” • “We are not required to interfere with or
inhibit our child’s sexuality.” • “Children are not inherently unable
to consent” to sex with an adult. • “In Western culture sex is taken
too seriously.” • “Anglo-American standard on age of consent is new
[and ‘Puritanical’]. In Europe it was always set at 10 or 12. Ages of
consent beyond that are relatively new and very strange, especially
for boys. They’ve always been able to have sex at any age.” • An
adult’s desire to have sex with a child is “normative.” • Our society
should “maximize individual liberty. … We have a highly moralistic
society that is not consistent with liberty.” • “Assuming children are
unable to consent lends itself to criminalization and stigmatization.”

Gay Marriage Advocate Founded Paedophile advice website:-
American Judge Richard A. Kramer (born Boston, Massachusetts, July 22, 1947) of the San Francisco County Superior Court is best known for his championing of gay "marriage".
In 2005 he ruled to strike down Proposition 22, a California ballot initiative defining marriage as only valid when between a man and a woman.
Kramer is also the founder of the Web site MHAMIC.org, the “Male Homosexual Attraction to Minors Information Center,” which he established in 2003.

Prominent Advocate of Gay Marriage admits he is a paedophile and defends paedophilia:

One of the directors of the pro-paedophile group B4U -Act is the lawyer Richard Kramer, who advocated and carried out some of the earliest same-sex "marriages" in the USA. Kramer spoke at the prop-paedophile conference in Baltimore, Maryland in August 2011 and asserted that paedophiles were harmless and misunderstood. Moreover, he has previously admitted that he himself identifies as a paedophile:-
He wrote "We need to confront the stigmatization, demonization, and stereotyping that exists due simply to our attraction to children or adolescents, regardless of our behavior. To do this, we need to be honest about our sexuality"

http://theothermccain.com/2011/08/20/who-is-richard-kramer-director-of-mental-health-professionals-group-admits-his-own-attraction-to-minors/
Curious then that some of the public still professes to be unaware of this connection.

Homosexual Founded Pro-Paedophile Group in America.
The late Mike Melsheimer who started B4U-Act was a convicted child molester, first caught in 1984 when he was the director of Pennsylvania YMCA. He befriended the two young sons of a Nicaraguan immigrant and began producing child pornography using the boys. In 2002 Melsheimer made the news in Maryland by publicly demanding the state provide him lists of comprehensive mental health services for his pedophilia. At the same time, he was a frequent poster on pro-child rape forums using his own name or sometimes the handle “Lek” where he spoke at length of the time he spent in Thailand. In one 2009 discussion on a forum called Boychat, Melsheimer is taken to task by other child molesters for B4U-ACT’s claim they want to help stop “minor attracted adults” from offending. Melsheimer’s final answer is this:

The report was dated 2007. It is part of our history, but the passage that offends you is no longer relevant to our site today. I can’t change what is in our history and would be dishonest to try. It would be like BC editing their archives. Our site changed in December 2008 because of the statement you quoted.
And Melsheimer added:
"Be assured you will find no current reference to prevention of offending. You can take that to the bank."

ANOTHER GAY ACTIVIST DEFENDS PAEDOPHILIA.
In a talk given last month at Trinity College Oxford, the gay activist Eric Anderson claimed “the damage caused by child molestation is socially constructed by the western world”.

Anderson was invited to give his talk by the university's LGBT society in May. It was entitled “Why gay sex is better than straight sex,”.
Anderson, a sociologist in the department of sports studies at the university of Winchester, says of himself "He said: “I like sex with 16, 17, 18 year old boys particularly, its getting harder for me to get them but I’m still finding them…"
Anderson's skills as a public speaker are evinced by his description of Archbishop Rowan Williams as an “arsehole”, “a total bigot” and “a fucking liar”.

Larry Brinkin, S.F. Gay Rights Icon, Arrested on Child Porn Charges
By Erin Sherbert Mon., Jun. 25 2012
Police say they arrested 66-year-old Larry Brinkin, the high-profile gay activist, on possession of child pornography on Friday night.
Brinkin, a community icon who led the fight for the city to recognize same-sex partnerships, was arrested and booked into San Francisco County Jail, police said.
He posted bail and was released Saturday, according to a jail spokesman.
Police Spokesman Officer Albie Esparza would only say that the case was still under investigation, and would give no more details at this time.
Brinkin retired from the Human Rights Commission in 2010, and has been a beloved member of the gay community, with the Board of Supervisors even declaring the first week of February as "Larry Brinkin Week." At the time of his retirement, he earned more than $135,000 yearly.
SF Weekly has obtained the search warrant, which details the items police seized from Brinkin and his husband's home. Those items include computers, videos, VHS tapes, and a floppy disc. According to the search warrant, SFPD acted after receiving a tip from the Los Angeles Police Department, which obtained from AOL an e-mail exchange between a Los Angeles user and zack3737@aol.com. Police say they linked the AOL address to Brinkin's IP address; he is owner of the account and paid for AOL service with his credit card.
The warrant claims these e-mails contained images of children as young as perhaps a year old being sodomized by and performing oral sex on adult men. Zack3737@aol.com -- whom the police allege is Brinkin -- provided graphic commentary on the photos of interracial adult-child sex. Comments included "I loved especially the nigger 2 year old getting nailed. Hope you'll continue so I can see what the little blond bitch is going to get. White Power! White Supremacy! White Dick Rules!"

The AOL e-mail account was also linked to Yahoo! Groups centering around discussions of child porn, according to the search warrant. Investigators say they additionally found e-mails sent from Brinkin's now-defunct city e-mail account to zack3737@aol.com.

Psychologist says pedophilia is sexual orientation similar to homosexuality
Some homosexual activist groups a "dream" to pedophiles
by Jack Minor
Canada 30th March 2011
Two psychologists testified before a parliamentary session on a bill related to sexual assault on children that pedophilia is a “sexual orientation” just like homosexuality.
Lifesitenews reported on the testimony at a parliamentary session in Canada regarding a bill intended to increase mandatory minimum sentences on child sex offenders for particular crimes. Dr. Vernon Quinsey and Dr. Hubert Van Gijseghem were testifying on how offenders responded to treatment.
Van Gijseghem, psychologist and retired professor of the University of Montreal, said, “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.”
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.”
Van Gijseghem and Quinsey’s views are not unique. Harvard Health Publications said in July 2010 that, “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, “There have been blips on this in the United States for the last decade.” She went on to say, “We will see this trend accelerate as homosexual, transgender and ‘children’s rights’ intersect.”
Harvey explained that the concept of children’s rights movement is based on the idea of letting children at younger and younger ages make their own choice regarding health care and choice of lifestyle.
Harvey said the problem is, “When a person says they agree to something that implies consent and the trend is to expand that definition to children in sexual matters.” She said this is an open door for pedophiles to exploit.
”Gay rights groups are attempting to open up sexuality to children at younger ages. There are also gay community centers around the country that accept children as young as 10 or 11 without parental consent.” She mentioned a parent in Ohio who asked if her 11 year old nephew would be able to attend one of the centers. The parent asked what was the cutoff age and was told the center tried to cap the age at 22. “This is a pedophile’s dream” Harvey said.
Her opinion is supported by the facts in the case of James Rennie, chief executive of LGBT Youth Scotland, established in November 1989 as the Stonewall Youth Project by members of the LGBT community in Edinburgh. In 2007 he and his associates were arrested and convicted or running one of the biggest child abuse and child-pornography rackets in legal history, according to the Guardian newspaper:-

Incredibly, despite this, Stonewall is still classified as a "charity" for tax purposes. Yes, a charity!

American homosexual author David Reigel published his book "The Philosophy of Responsible Boylove"(SafeHaven Press) in 1997. It argues that relations between adult men and boys are neither harmful nor immoral, and documents examples of societies where consenting inter-generational sex is considered normal, for instance in New Guinea where he claims young boys routinely engage in homosexual acts with older warriors.
Reigel wanted his book categorized as "academic research" but he has never denied having a personal interest in the subject. He is a regular contributor to male homosexual websites such as "the Boylover" where he conducts his research by looking at pictures of typical laboratory specimens.

Geoffrey Leonard, Australia's most notorious homosexual paedophile, boasts about his enjoyment of raping boys:-http://encyclopediadramatica.se/Geoffrey_Leonard

Despite several prison sentences, Leonard says, "He is not not not not not NOT sorry."

FLASHING AT CHILDREN IN GAY PRIDE MARCH
http://www.seattlerex.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/gay-pride-flasher-06-24-2012-600x427.jpg
This photograph of the Gay Pride March in Seattle, USA, is one of many that clearly shows adult homosexuals deliberately displaying their genitals at children. Nudity, S&M and bondage are also popular themes. It is increasingly common for children to attend these events all over the Western world.

Elton John and the Boy Scouts.
Elton John, regarded by some as a "singer", starred in December 1999 in an entertainment at the Albert Hall to celebrate the tenth birthday of Stonewall. He and the group "Pet Shop Boys" put on a terribly funny dance in which they dressed as Boy Scouts and then proceeded to strip on stage.
The Boy Scout Association later described this as "deplorable and in bad taste".

One more bit of evidence for the denialists to dismiss:-
Allen Ginsberg, the gay beat poet, was an active pederast. He bragged publicly about masturbating to images of young boys and was a founding member of the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA).
One critic writes of him "Allen Ginsberg was a liar, pederast, child abuser, hypocrite, & thoroughly despicable person"
http://www.cosmoetica.com/TOP102-DES99.htm

Ginsberg even wrote a poem called "Sweet Boy Give Me Your Ass".

The Harvard Gay and Lesbian Review interviewed poet Allen Ginsberg, a homosexual pedophile, shortly before his recent death. In a generally flattering article, they report Ginsburg's philosophy (not mentioned by the mainstream press) about sex with children, and offer no judgmental comment about it. The article is entitled, "The Liberation is the Word" (Summer 1997):

(Allen Ginsberg): "Like the whole labeling of pedophiles as 'child molesters.' Everybody likes little kids. All you've got to do is walk through the Vatican and see all the little statues of little prepubescents, pubescents, and postpubescents. Naked kids have been a staple of delight for centuries, for both parents and onlookers. So to label pedophilia as criminal is ridiculous."[Quoted in http://www.narth.com/docs/arguecase.html]

Michael Munson of Hard Places Community is an American who has worked rescuing children exploited for sex tourism in Cambodia. He reports that boys are targeted as often as girls, and Ruth Elliott, founder of Daughters of Cambodia, agrees.
“In Ethiopia, Brazil, Peru, India and other sex-tourism hot spots, boys are as likely as girls to be victimized by travelling sexual predators. Some research even suggests that boys are more likely to be exploited.” http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Part+Four+Boys+forgotten+victims+with+video/6350524/story.html

A constant stream of evidence confirms that paedophiles have a strong preference for one sex or another.

One notorious offender in the USA molested more than 500 boys. The idea that paedophiles have no gender preference and therefore cannot be categorized as homosexual or heterosexual is a myth.

The French academic sociologist Francois de Negroni has done a lot of in-depth research into the sex-tourism phenomenon, particularly in the Far East, where it often involves exploitation of children. The customers are western males who usually have a very clear preference for girl or boy victims. The number of girls and boys exploited is roughly equal. If anything, boys are more likely to be targetted. A similar picture is given by several other recent investigations. Given that male homosexuals are only 2% of the population, it is surprising that they are responsible for 50% of the paedophile tourist trade. It suggests that they could be as much as 25 times more likely than hetoerosexual males to be paedophiles.
>>In Brasil in 2007, a leading homosexual activist called Luiz Mott, the leader of Brazil’s homosexual movement, was prosecuted for paedophilia. Mott ran a blog advocating and defending man-boy sex, which was spotted and denounced by journalist Julio Severo. Gay activists in Brasil then ran a malicious campaign against Severo, claiming that he was "homphobic" and threatening violence against poor little gays. The eminent Brazilian philosopher Olavo de Carvalho blasted the campaign against Severo in his regular column for the newspaper Jornal do Brasil.
It was revealed as a slanderous attack to retaliate against Mott being "outed" as a paedophile.

Since my article was written, new research has appeared indicating that children who are brought up by homosexual parents are disadvantaged.
Washington DC 10th June 2012.
“The empirical claim that no notable differences exist must go,” Mark Regnerus, a sociology professor at the University of Texas at Austin, said in his study in Social Science Research.
Using a new, “gold standard” data set of nearly 3,000 randomly selected American young adults, Mr. Regnerus looked at their lives on 40 measures of social, emotional and relationship outcomes.
He found that, when compared with adults raised in married, mother-father families, adults raised by lesbian mothers had negative outcomes in 24 of 40 categories, while adults raised by gay fathers had negative outcomes in 19 categories.

While such a conclusion may be unwelcome or unpopular in some circles, that does not justify suppressing research or gagging people who want to discuss the facts.
