Once again, I haven't read the book. My guess is that the people who are raising accusations of pedophilia in the book haven't read it either.
According to the author:
He said that, contrary to allegations circulating online, the book does not describe or contain pedophilia. The scene people seem to be upset about, Evison said, involves an adult man recalling a sexual encounter he had with another fourth-grader when he was in fourth grade.
To further distance Pedophilia from Homosexuals/Transgenders every major organization that supports both of these causes has uniformly
come out against pedophilia.
Just because these groups are using the same tactics doesn't mean that they will have any success with it. Let's say I wanted to start a movement to give citizenship to dogs. I may be completely committed to the cause. I may write books about it to try and get people on my side. I may even follow the strategies of other successful legislative efforts. At the end of the day, however, I have to get people on my side. Guess what, it's a non-starter. No one wants to give a cavapoo the vote, just like no one wants to say its OK for a 60 year old to start dating at an elementary school.
Congress just successfully passed an infrastructure bill that they have been trying to get through for decades. We literally have bridges falling down and water systems poisoning cities, and it still took decades for it to get approval. Even given the nature of the need, members of congress still received death threats for voting for this bill.
How in the world do you think that A) enough members of congress would come together to vote for the "It's OK to molest Children act"? and b) how long before someone put a bullet in the head of everyone who supported it? Heck it might be members of their own staff or party who pull the trigger. Pedophilia is a psychological disorder that effects a very small minority. Most people are hardwired to protect children. That isn't changing. There is no local, regional or national desire to make it OK to sexual abuse children. How, or where, this nonsense got started is beyond me, but can people start using just the smallest amount of common sense before they start believing everything they read on the internet?
