Re: My answer...

PeeJ makes a lot of pro-gay statements because they know that it's not currently popular to diss gay people. So they try to say that we are "delusional" for stating that our situation is similar to the situation of gay people when there are so many parallels between what we currently go through and what the gays went through in previous decades that it's startling. I remember seeing one article from PeeJ quoted over here ages ago where they said the reason we are not comparable to gays is because homosexual behavior doesn't hurt anyone but pedophilia and hebephilia DO hurt people. Of course, they offer no proof that mutually consensual romantic love and sexual activity between two people of disparate age groups is automatically harmful to the younger person, they simply quote it as gospel and make all types of morality-based claims that have no science behind it at all.

They also say that we are "delusional" when we say that we are persecuted. Then how do they define the word "persecution?" Considering all of us to be pure evil and subhuman simply because of who we are attracted to, trying to out us in this climate of hate, trying to make us lose our jobs and split us up from our families, posting our phone numbers and addresses online...all of this is NOT defined as persecution? Can all of this truly be done simply to "protect" kids and the rest of society, or do I see more than a little bit of pure spite and hatred at work here, i.e., hurting people just for the sake of hurting them?

Any gay or lesbian who attacks MAA's and jumps onto the bandwagon of the hate-mongers in defiance of the way the gay community used to be treated by the mainstream should be ashamed of themselves. I do not believe that ALL of them truly believe that they are protecting kids by doing this...I think several of them know full well that intergenerational relationships are not unequivacably harmful but they make themselves look more respectful in the eyes of the public by attacking the newer scapegoat. Remember how many people used to believe that gay people abused kids to make them become the next generation of gays? How quickly people forget when it serves their purpose.

I am also very suspicious of atheists who are also antis, because they seem to be either purposely or unwittingly following Judeo-Christian edicts about sex negativity, which implies that their thought processes are a lot more influenced by religion than they are willing to admit.
