We cannot normalize pedophilia. Like
@exoduscry
says below, WE REJECT any attempt to normalize the desire to sexually abuse a child.
We cannot emphasize enough that the acceptance of pedophilia as a sexual orientation is the first step down a very dark path. It’s a path that leads to the abuse of children. And quite obviously, it puts children everywhere at risk
