It is just the author in this article, but there also have been other articles of late regarding this issue, especially in light of the new DSM V that the American Psychiatric Association is releasing soon, that is rumored to have some major changes in it regarding sexual issues and personality disorders. It's the diagnostic tool used by everyone in the mental health field, and by many in the educational and criminal justice fields, too.

And that's another reason why these kinds of "determinations" are inherently dangerous. From a layperson's POV, this smacks of "well, we can't figure out why the peds are attracted to kids, so the only thing left to do is reclassify the condition so that it's not an illness any more -- it's a choice."
Now, someone go ahead and tell me that there isn't an agenda here. Shrinks in academia. Shrinks in private practice. Shrinks who actually diagnose mental illnesses and whose reputations are staked on accuracy of same. Oh, and the Bible they use is the DSM.

I have a moral duty to correct the incorrect.
Make up your mind: is it a slippery slope (ie relevant) or non sequitur (ie irrelevant) ?
How clever.
And has no more to do with the acceptance of pedophilia, child molestation, or statutory rape than heterosexuality. In fact it has less, made witness by the case of Debra Lafave. Normally I don't argue in the hypothetical, but I don't think it's speculation that had she been male regardless of good looks and charming personality would still be in prison. You certainly wouldn't have geezers on bulletin boards wondering out loud , "Where were teacher like that when I was 14?"
Where in the article did it say that something being a "sexual orientation" meant that it got the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval? Are you under the mistaken impression that homosexuality is legal because it's a sexual orientation? Read the court's opinion. No where does it say that laws against homosexuality are unconstitutional because it's a sexual orientation.
That's a pretty important distinction and one which the laws of the various states generally take into account. Scientifically, it's a legitimate question why a sexually immature person is attractive to a sexually mature person. The stages older than sexual maturity are legally somewhat arbitrary lines which as the article states have and do indeed vary over time, culture, and location.
You haven't demonstrated that.
Again, you haven't demonstrated that. One of the favorite accusations against Mohammed was that he was a pedophile. In truth, he probably wasn't out of step with surrounding cultures. We don't hate Thailand, but the King of Siam had many wives. Were any of them what we would consider children? In the US we have had 12 year old brides, and in Mexico they apparently still do. We don't approve of this, but what precisely has it to do with gay rights or homosexuality? Homosexuality was a felony or a capital crime while all of this was going on.While you were hanging yourself , on someone else's words

I guess you missed a lot since one of the advocates for kid diddling is quoted throughout the article. The original article appeared in the U.K. Guardian.
And if it did, it would be rather idiotic to claim that this was somehow the result of the slippery slope of equal rights for gay people. The stereotype of child molestation is father on daughter not mother on daughter.
Secondly...Pedo's can also be mother molesting song or grandchild. Lose they streotype mindset.
Third...10 years ago most people would have said that gay marriage was nonsense and would never happen.
Now look what's going on in this country.
Right now we're saying that normalization of pedophillia will never happen...but the inroads are already being made.

Nova understands that pedophilia is abhorant and he doesn't want it linked to his sexual and social preferences but to state that no one is saying that pedophilia is on its way to normalization because of the door opened by same sex marriage is delusional. They have been saying this since the idea of same sex marriage became a social concern. It has been mentioned that same sex marriage was opening the doors to normalization of pedophilia, incest and bestiality since this whole debate started and now we are starting to see these abominations as the ensuing fruits of the normalize of same sex marriage.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

I share that same concern with Nova, that people will start to classify pedophilia with homosexuality. There needs to be a clear difference in the way society treats consenting adults who are attracted to the same sex from how society treats someone who chooses victims who are either unable to resist or unable to give consent due to age or capacity. The sexual abuse of children always needs to be treated as a crime, the same way raping an adult victim at gunpoint is a crime. Homosexual relationships between consenting adults should not be criminally sanctioned.

You just need a smaller noose.
At a minimum. I think that our whole concept of parole is flawed. We should require parole board members to share the remainder of a sentence of any perp that they release who repeats the offense. If you aren't sure enough to risk you own life and liberty, then you should be exoposing the rest of us to risk.
