Today a friend, a parent and non-MAP ally of mine told me he's concluded that pedophilia is a civil rights issue in regards to MAPs and a public health issue in regards to children:

"Anti-pedo hysteria prevents 0 crimes against children and is exclusively used to bolster reactionaries."

We have a long bloody march for our rights ahead of us. Allies like my friend remind me that no matter how treacherous the landscape might seem, we can forge new trails so long as we continue pushing forward.
