As just another sexuality

How long before it becomes unfair to deny a pedophile his natural desires?

This may not fit your narrative, but sex with minors is punished harsher today than it was 50 years ago.

That's not what the article was about.

I know, just wanted to add that for perspective.

However one feels about potential ramifications that perspectives like the author's may lead us toward, it's at least worth noting that legislation has pushed us the other way over the past several decades (and obviously that's a good thing IMO).

Persecution is always strongest just before "enlightenment".

Yes, clearly Colorado and Washington state were prosecuting marijuana possession harsher than Georgia and Alabama immediately prior to their legalization movement.

And we just had a Marijuana tax holiday, because they made too much on taxes. They're fixing the loophole, because the state lost millions more because of the accidental accounting error.

The schools arsound here are doing good. We just aren't going to let pedophiles hang around them.

I don't support pedophilia, but marriage and sex with just barely pubescent teens has been culturally accepted and even encouraged for 1000s of years, even in western society. Point to a bible verse where having sex with a 13 year old as a 40 year old is a sin.

Part of the extreme measures we go to as a culture when it comes to sex laws comes directly from the puritans.

Where we are on sex and age appropriateness is a very unique place, and would have been considered not quaint, but silly by anyone in the western world just a few hundred years ago.

No, we aren't. Pedophilia will never be accepted. Children cannot consent to sexual activity. That's not going to change.

So just because a pedo wrote a blog you think the rest of the world is okay with it?

Sample size of one. Get serious, dude. What does Cosby have to do with pedophilia anyway?

A blog from Salon (of all shitty publications) =\= acceptance of pedophiles.

Working in education and as a psych major, I can promise you acceptance isn't coming down the pipeline. If anything the laws have been changed to include some things that would register someone as a sex offender that we have no business enforcing (such as pictures sent between teens of themselves).

An editor was OK with it.
A publisher was OK with it.
Clearly a majority of the websites readers are OK with it or it never would have been published.

Well.. this article convinced me. I have to support pedophilic rights now /s

Seriously. How do people even believe the shite they say? There is nothing CLOSE to a legal precedent allowing pedophilia. Or polygamy. In fact, in regards to polygamy it's quite the opposite.

There's a little something called strict scrutiny, intermediate scrutiny, and rational basis review. Basically, the Supreme Court can't just decide what they want to. They review laws and analyze them using one of those tests. If they deem it's a 14th Amendment issue, then it (usually) goes to strict scrutiny. The reason I say usually is because Justice Kennedy writes really strange opinions sometimes.

Anyway, in strict scrutiny, the state has to justify that it has a legitimate purpose for a law restricting behavior. That will NEVER be a problem. First of all, it would never make it to the Supreme Court. Secondly, if it can't even make it through strict scrutiny, it most certainly won't make it through rational-basis, which, if the SCOTUS did take the case, it would be subjected to
