Your thread title pretty much describes the use of such attention getting headlines by the media that exists to inform, but has morphed into a business that puts profit above principles.
How can anyone continue to feel outraged after reading the article? Is reading comprehension that poorly developed, or scarcely used?
The opinions expressed by the psychiatrists of the fringe group B4UACT are not shared by the rest of their peers, so how does that equate to 'society poised to accept' pedophilia?
Our society will not accept the abuse of children as anyone's 'right', no matter what rights belong to consenting adults - that is a line that cannot be crossed, period. Like the line that forbids killing someone just because you feel like it, it is an 'eternal truth' that doesn't change with new discoveries [there is a LOT that is yet to be learned about the human brain] or the times we live in.
Pedophilia is NOT related to homosexuality, despite the many efforts to portray the two as equivalent - a pedophile may be homo or hetero sexually oriented, same as the rest of us. And they need to be kept from harming children, whatever it takes.
When the author casually states that homosexuality is a 'lifestyle choice', his agenda is clear. He can cling to his cherished beliefs for as long as he likes, but scientists [particularly neurobiologists] are adding more and more evidence to prove that homosexuality is not a choice.
I wish the concern actually were for protecting children [because pedophiles don't respond to any known treatments], but it looks like the intent is to whip up some outrage to reinforce the author's chosen beliefs.
