You are wrong to protect them without knowing what they're about, Jay. Their motto is, "Sex before eight, or it's too late."

I'll never understand the ability of Child Sex Hysterics to look at one thing and see another. "Sex Before Eight" was a slogan of the Rene Guyon Society, named after a deceased French world traveler who thought that American puritanism and prudery could be cured with a healthy dose of the kind of sexual openness found amongst primitive tribes. It has nothing at all to do with NAMBLA. Never has.

They are referring to grown men having sex with an under-eight year old little boy.

NAMBLA was formed to protest a witch hunt against gay teens. Like most gay organizations of its era, it calls for the repeal of all laws which criminalize sexual activity using age alone as the sole criteria for determining whether someone has been taken advantage of. Other organizations with similar platforms have been pressured by people like Jesse Helms to sell out, without which the current mainstreaming of gay sodomy rights for adults would not have been permitted. This has resulted in the current zoo of "adults only" alleged gay rights organizations, who run screaming in the opposite direction when anyone under 18 makes an appearance. Indeed, it is pretty nearly impossible today to do anything in the area of gay rights without having to pass some Fundie-authored litmus test on support of consent laws, and to be forced to pay lip service to the disempowerment of young people to make any sort of sexual decisions for themselves.

Surely you don't mean to suggest that a website promoting intercourse with a little boy should be protected speech, do you?

Well, since the alleged intercourse with little boys exists entirely in Jodi Hoffman's brain, and not on the NAMBLA website, I think we should take any and all measures to prevent people from coming in contact with the harmful material in Jodi Hoffman's brain, before more people are turned into idiots. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
