Continued misconceptions of adult homosexuals being paedophiles



I cannot write enough about this continued twisted belief that we as MSMs and by extension same gender loving individuals are somehow hell bent on transforming pubescent children into homosexuals or force them to commit homosexuals acts without consent. The belief has been allowed to fester over the years in this country and has been hardly challenged by the pro gay movement or advocates for that matter, the tabloid press has been allowed to run roughshod basically through sensationalist stories about supposed gay life in Jamaica, one wonders by reading some of the articles that some of the authors' deep dark fantasies don't find their way in somehow.


In todays Gleaner an article appeared called Lesbianism A Concern for educators and several comments followed on the thread below however one particular comment drew my attention as it seem to have encapsulated all the mostly negative ones there, it read:




by Man of Justice


"People wake up!!! These Sodomites are just the same as pedophiles, rapists and sex offenders in general! They prey on the vulnerability of the young and the innocent children and rob them of sexually normal behaviour for the rest of their lives because of their desire to fulfill their selfish & perverted lusts, not caring about the long term psychological damage they are creating just to satisfy their abnormal short term desires.



Most of them can be found in places where children gather and act friendly towards them in order to entrap the innocent minds! I know all of this because my stepdaughters & their female friends regularly complain to me about these incidents of female to female sexual molestation taking place at their schools & places that they & their other friends go to. They even drive up to them on the road & blatantly make sexual advances towards them!



Whether male or female, homosexuality is wrong, and must not be forced upon our children subtly or otherwise by persons of influence in their schools or anybody else who plays a part in developing their minds. It is well known in Jamaica that the lesbians are not dealt with as harshly as their male? counterparts when found out. Their actions are more tolerated..



We as a country need to weed out these people from positions of influence that they now occupy, especially in areas where the welfare of our children are concerned. If they want to do their foolishness with another grown fool, then that's their business, but whereever our children gather to learn or play, then we need to root them out of these places so that they cannot use their position of authority to influence or coerce our innocent children into joining their morally barren behaviour & lifestyle. Rid our schools of these perverts!!!"


So I asked why do we believe homosexuality is some disease and that we are predatory beasts hell bent on getting into the panties and pants of pubescent children? and I linked my blogs to it, I am expecting mostly negative responses as per usual as I have commented on previous articles but when are we going to get it? here are some previous entries on the subject of paedophilia etc


Ephebophilia or hebephilia refers to the sexual preference for adolescents around 15-19 years of age. Experts use specific terms for age preferences: ephebophilia to refer to the sexual preference for late adolescents, hebephilia to refer the sexual preference for pubescent persons, and pedophilia to refer to the sexual preference for prepubescent persons. The term paedophilia, however, has also been used colloquially to refer broadly to sexual interest in minors, regardless of their level of physical development.



Ephebophilia is not listed as a paraphilia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR), unlike paedophilia, which is categorized as a disorder in the manual.



Pedophilia or paedophilia has a range of definitions as found in psychology, law enforcement, and the popular vernacular. As a medical diagnosis, it is defined as a psychological disorder in which an adult experiences a sexual preference for prepubescent children.According to the DSM, pedophilia is specified as a form of paraphilia in which a person either has acted on intense sexual urges towards children, or experiences recurrent sexual urges towards and fantasies about children that cause distress or interpersonal difficulty. The disorder is frequently a feature of persons who commit child sexual abuse.



Nicholas Groth is a pioneer in the scientific study of sexual offenders against women and children, who has treated over 3000 child molesters over the course of two decades. A former director of the Sex Offender Program at the Connecticut Department of Corrections, Groth is the author of Men Who Rape: Psychology of the Offender, a work widely regarded as a classic textbook on the psychology of sexual violence.



He concurred in a recent debate on homosexuality vs paedophilia that Homosexuality and homosexual pedophilia are not synonymous. In fact, it may be that these two orientations are mutually exclusive, the reason being that the homosexual male is sexually attracted to masculine qualities whereas the heterosexual male is sexually attracted to feminine characteristics, and the sexually immature child’s qualities are more feminine than masculine. . . . The child offender who is attracted to and engaged in adult sexual relationships is heterosexual. It appears, therefore, that the adult heterosexual male constitutes a greater sexual risk to underage children than does the adult homosexual male.



The general belief in the stereotype that "Homosexuals are dangerous as teachers or youth leaders because they try to get sexually involved with children" or that "Homosexuals try to play sexually with children if they cannot get an adult partner." is very real in our scenario. Another category of persons that has helped to cement this belief are Priests in the christian faith and especially under the Catholic church where several public cases have brought shame to the priesthood.

Paedophiles and female priests supporters are one?


One other important piece of the puzzle we have also left out everytime there is talk of paedophilia is the reverse, Teleoiphilia which is the erotic or sexual interest in adults usually by teens. Teleiophilia is not restricted by the teleiophile's age but has been slotted at 16 to 19 years as we see in our illegal buses where older men on bus crews have open sexual relations with young girls to include "no panty days" and sex on buses while in transit.


Let us begin to challenge this paedophilia belief levelled against us and separate the issues for clarity and progress.
