    Who exactly is this directed at that thinks pedophilia is “just a sexuality?”
    Seems like he’s just trying to sew the seed that LGBT activists support pedophilia, which they don’t

      ah well you see unlike you and me who when we say paedophiles mean people who have sexual relationships with children he means gay people for reasons of being a terrible person

      No, the guy holding the poster is saying that paedophilla is NOT a sexuality. And if you think paedophilla is a trivial as sexuality (I.e you’re paedophile or enabler/minimiser), then burying your body in my garden is as trivial as gardening.

      Nugent retweeted this like he agreed that paedophilla is absolutely not a sexuality and (it’s implied) if you think it is, we can to bury your body and call it gardening. The hypocrisy being that Ted Nugent is a paedophile.

        That’s what I’m saying. Who is the supposed target? Show me the guy saying “I stand up for pedophile rights, actually!” I don’t believe they exist in any meaningful quantity that you have to “protest” about them.

          I mean songs about having sex with underage girls are pretty common. Aside from Ted Nugent, there’s kid rock, the Beatles, the knack, the police, winger, R Kelly, nirvana, korn…. So so many. Then there’s everyone named in operation yewtree and the me too allegations. Plenty of those people would claim it’s just who they’re sexually attracted to, and it’s not paedophilia. I don’t think you have to dig too deep to find straight people who commit these crimes or try to minimise their impact.
