There is an inordinate amount of stigma in this debate with the antis.

I understand that you all don't feel we should "see our souls" in this fight, but the fact of the matter is we are 'perceived' as dangerous. Period. Think about this witch hunt in progress. The ONLY way to get anywhere in this fight is for people like us to make the case that we pose NO THREAT. If, and only if, we can accomplish this small step will we be able to gain legitimacy in society. Only after we gain some legitimacy will our voices be heard. As it stands, I do not believe anyone is going attempt to listen to an admitted pedophile. At best they only going to patronize our "dribble" as they see it.

Reason amounts to jack-shit in this evil empire. Its the way people feel emotionally towards an issue that will ultimately determine its fate. We have made no concessions...we have been forced into hiding. At the moment we pretend to agree with 'everything' they say just by remaining in the shadows. We're saying "its not okay to be a CL, that's why I won't tell anyone who I am." I want to change their minds about one point at a time. One step in the right direction is better than this.
