Read what I said.
Again, homosexual activity is between consenting adults. Pedophiles who act on their desires are raping children because children cannot consent.People felt the same way about homosexuality 40 years ago, this is a social stigma, not a disease. The parallels are mirror images of 1965.
That was one of the interesting things they found in the study, it was only harmful when they were told what they did was wrong. Sound like something you heard 40 years ago?
Sexual orientations arent diseases. Is liking chocolate more than vanilla a mental disease or a personal preference? I just find the parallels amazing, it surprises me that people in support of alternative lifestyle choices would be against this, really shows their bias.
Sema, what you stated was debunked in the article you didnt read
Wait, are you implying that touching a child wouldn't be harmful unless the person doing it was told they were wrong?
Let's classify heterosexuality as a mental disorder too, because straight people commit rapes. You cannot act on pedophilic desires without causing harm.
So we ban everything.
What's actually interesting is how you managed to read that from what the article actually says:
"Even now there is no academic consensus on that fundamental question (the lasting damage caused by consensual paedophilic relations)"
They why are you unable to cite a passage that actually "debunked" what I said? Right, because unlike you I have in fact read it, last month.Sema, what you stated was debunked in the article you didnt read

He's saying that children aren't harmed from being raped - unless we tell the children that it's wrong.

Meaningless adage that has no relevance in practical discussions of reality.
Considering that pedophilia and rape are the systematic products of a predominantly heterosexual culture and the religious and penal institutions to which it has given rise, I don't find it surprising that you're championing this "sexual orientation". Given, however, that it is indeed a product of your mainstream heterosexual lifestyle choice, it is grossly misleading to pretend it is any way aligned with so-called "alternative" sexual orientations such as homosexuality.
A case of hypocrisy at its finest...I hope she gets put away for a loooong time.
Q: Where the fuck is Xia Xia, SIU?!?!
A1: She needs to start making eggs for Easter...
A2: Drunk and sleeping somewhere.
I'll admit I set myself up for that, but my point still holds. You can act on homosexual desires without causing harm. You can't act on pedophilic desires without causing harm (no, loli manga doesn't count). If you took what I said in that quote as literal, then I don't know what to say. Fix your sarcasm detector.
The point I was making there was that it's silly to justify the stance that homosexuality is like pedophilia because people rape each other. Rape isn't inherent to homosexuality. People of all types do it.
Either my definition of harmed is all wrong, or that's straight up stupid.

While this is disgusting and horrible, I struggle to see what the point of this thread is. If you pretend to infer from "anti-gay person did bad shit" that "anti-gay people are universally awful" then you've just taken what is know as a logical jump. There's no connection. While I'm personally in favor of gay marriage and all that jazz, you can't tarnish all anti-gay people by the actions of one. We are all different, people of all different walks of life and opinions do bad shit. That's just life. Doing bad things isn't exclusive to whichever group you may not like.
