As I said, they are going to build off of their success with homosexuality/transgenderism and the "tolerance/acceptance" movement. This means that pedophilia acceptance will begin with 16-18 year old homosexuals and transgenders. We will be told that traditional heterosexual expectations of sexuality are incompatible with the needs of "vulnerable" homosexual and transgender teenagers. They will be painted as victims of heterosexual oppression and bullying, and "intergenerational sex" (their term for pedophilia) will be sold as their right. Older lovers will be painted as mentors rather than predators.
The same arguments used for homosexuality and transgenderism will be deployed again:
"It doesn't affect you, why do you care?"
"Love is love, no matter the gender....or age."
"It's their body they should be able to do what they want."
Progressives are masters of getting a toe inside the door and then forcing their way in. Once it's legal for 16 year old homosexuals and transgenders to have sex with adults, the question will be asked: well, why not 14 year olds? Are they less human? Don't they have rights to enjoy their sexuality? And it will continue in this manner until the thing reaches its wretched end.

Quote:"Thus, a good man, though a slave, is free; but a wicked man, though a king, is a slave. For he serves, not one man alone, but, what is worse, as many masters as he has vices." – St. Augustine, City of God Writing at the time of the collapse of the Roman Empire, St. Augustine both revolutionized and brought to a close antiquity’s idea of freedom. A man was not a slave by nature or by law, as Aristotle claimed. His freedom was a function of his moral state. A man had as many masters as he had vices. This insight would provide the basis for the most sophisticated form of social control known to man.
Fourteen hundred years later, a decadent French aristocrat turned that tradition on its head when he wrote that "the freest of people are they who are most friendly to murder." Like St. Augustine, the Marquis de Sade would agree that freedom was a function of morals. Unlike St. Augustine, Sade proposed a revolution in sexual morals to accompany the political revolution then taking place in France. Libido Dominandi – the term is taken from Book I of Augustine’s City of God – is the definitive history of that sexual revolution, from 1773 to the present.
Unlike the standard version of the sexual revolution, Libido Dominandi shows how sexual liberation was from its inception a form of control. Those who wished to liberate man from the moral order needed to impose social controls as soon as they succeeded because liberated libido led inevitably to anarchy. Aldous Huxley wrote in his preface to the 1946 edition of Brave New World that "as political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends compensatingly to increase." This book is about the converse of that statement. It explains how the rhetoric of sexual freedom was used to engineer a system of covert political and social control. Over the course of the two-hundred-year span covered by this book, the development of technologies of communication, reproduction, and psychic control – including psychotherapy, behaviorism, advertising, sensitivity training, pornography, and plain old blackmail – allowed the Enlightenment and its heirs to turn Augustine’s insight on its head and create masters out of men’s vices. Libido Dominandi is the story of how that happened.

A "real man" would prefer a 45-year old with life experience over a 21-year old, you see, according to Maureen Dowd and her ilk. How will the powers that be maintain their disapproval of male preference for fertile young women, while adopting a more permissive attitude towards actual pedophiles?

The reason for the change is because the homosexual activists have sucessfully implemented the image that Lizard of Oz was using to describe what total's homosexuals are supposed to be like: "now they are just your most colorlessly stolid neighbors who are "married", walk their dogs and talk about "climate change"." In other words, they have managed to convince the public at large, especially those who are younger that gays really are no different from any other family that wants to live in the white picket fence, mow the law, and throw the football with their children in the afternoon.

I can't help but roll my eyes everytime I hear someone use "homosexuality" in the same sentence as "bestiality" or "pedophilia". Adult homosexuality is between consenting adults and is thus a victimless crime that harms no one. It concerns no one other than those involved. Child sexual abuse involves individuals who are incapable of giving or withholding consent. The psychological damage it causes to children is well known. The two things are in no way related.

Pedophilia is between consenting human beings and is thus a victimless crime that harms no one. It concerns no one other than those involved. Bestiality and necrophilia involves animals or dead humans who are incapable of giving or withholding consent. There is no psychological damage caused by sexual relations between two human beings if there is consent, this is well known. The two things are in no way related.
Quote:A Sydney judge has compared incest and paedophilia to homosexuality, saying the community may no longer see sexual contact between siblings and between adults and children as “unnatural” or “taboo”.
District Court Judge Garry Neilson said just as gay sex was socially unacceptable and criminal in the 1950s and 1960s but is now widely accepted, “a jury might find nothing untoward in the advance of a brother towards his sister once she had sexually matured, had sexual relationships with other men and was now ‘available’, not having [a] sexual partner”.
He also said the “only reason” that incest is still a crime is because of the high risk of genetic abnormalities in children born from consanguineous relationships “but even that falls away to an extent [because] there is such ease of contraception and readily access to abortion”.
Judge Neilson made the extraordinary and bizarre comments in the case of a 58-year-old man, known for legal reasons as MRM, who is charged with repeatedly raping his younger sister in the family’s western Sydney home in 1981.
The man had earlier pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting his sister when she was 10 or 11 years old in 1973 or 1974 after police recorded a telephone conversation between the siblings in July 2011 in which he admitted to having sexual contact with her when she was “a kid”.
