Such parallels with the 1970s. Thanks for highlighting this issue.

Excellent piece. Can you point us to an explainer on the children's rights movement in the 1970's? I have no context for this and a brief google search hasn't given me any leads.

Please research the work of early queer theorists such as Gayle Rubin. Also the justifications that were published in support of NAMBLA.

excellent. alex renton's mini series should be a warning to us all.

these predatory men operate in the places where peoples imaginations dont want to go.

we all need to shine as much light as possible on this subject. but without sounding like q-anon lunatics.

your tone is absolutely perfect here, as is alex's.

thank you for this.

I see that Nettie Pollard and Peter Tatchell both contributed to Attitude magazine's article marking the 50th anniversary: https://archive.is/HXzzM

Yes. Attitude supports the ridiculous notion of “male lesbians” and in general favors “queering” (blurring and/or trashing) all boundaries.
