        The point is, do folks wake up and select their sexual interest?

        Do you believe that lgbt conversion therapy works? Because when you say “just stop being attracted to kids, you sicko” you’re essentially saying that you can train someone out of their base sexual attractions. I don’t think lgbt conversion therapy works, do you?

          Pedophiles have no place in LGBT+. Those who say otherwise are conservatives trying to undermine LGBT+ by associating them with pedophiles.

            Listen, pedophilia is a sexual attraction. Hard stop. That’s the definition and nothing you can say will change that. It is natural then to compare it to other sexual attractions that are outside the norm such as LGBT+

            The huge difference here is that LGBT+ is celebrated not only as an attraction but as a lifestyle because everyone involved in that lifestyle is a consenting adult. Pedophilia can never have that.

            So yes, it it within reason to compare the two. No, there will be no pedophile parade or inclusion in a flag or celebration of pedophilia.

            This is not about LGBTQIA+! To strengthen the argument, one could also say “stop being hetero” or “stop being attracted to your preference”. It’s just not possible, same as with pedophiles to change their preference.

            The crucial difference to most other forms of sexuality is that they can’t engage in sexual acts with consenting people, which makes the acting on it morally and legally wrong. But Just being a pedophile isn’t it they don’t act upon it.

            And noone is calling for pedophilia to get a place in LGBTQIA+ btw… Don’t know where you got that from smh…

            Stop parroting your lines and actually respond to the content of the comment ffs. You’re acting the same as a conservative who ignores what folks say and yells abortion is murder until they’re blue in the face. If you want to be that guy, you do you, I just won’t bother wasting my time.
