Pedophilia Officially Classified as Sexual Orientation by American Psychology Association

 

A shocking announcement made by the American Psychological Association (APA) in its latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders caused an uproar among pro-family organizations and many others, as the APA states it now classifies pedophilia as a sexual orientation or preference instead of a disorder.

 

Sandy Rios, cultural expert and talk show host on the American Family Radio network, has issued a statement on behalf of the American Family Association in response to the APA’s position on pedophilia:

 

"Just as the APA declared homosexuality an ‘orientation’ under tremendous pressure from homosexual activists in the mid-'70s, now, under pressure from pedophile activists, they have declared the desire for sex with children an ‘orientation,’ too. It's not hard to see where this will lead. More children will become sexual prey.

 

"Sanity will never return to this culture until truth is reclaimed. It is not now, nor has it ever been acceptable for men or women to desire sex with children. Any who struggle with this must at least know that it is wrong before they can combat it and seek change."

I saw on the news this morning where Hawaii has just passed legislation in favor of 'gay marriage'. Now they're working to make it legal to abuse children. 

We may be in Lot's predicament soon.

I knew this was coming but I didn't think so soon!

In the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM V), the American Psychiatric Association (APA) drew a very distinct line between pedophilia and pedophilic disorder. Pedophilia refers to a sexual orientation or profession of sexual preference devoid of consummation, whereas pedophilic disorder is defined as a compulsion and is used in reference to individuals who act on their sexuality. 

 

 

So it's an orientation, but it's still a 'disorder' to act on it. Wonder how long that will last...

Its scary watching the world fall apart.

It will still be a while before they convince the general public of this although it is already  pretty much accepted between adult women and underage teens. Just listen to Geraldo Rivera talk about the issue and you'll see this. The first step was legalizing the morning after pill for all ages without parental consent. The more children are sexualized the more the barrier will be broken down.
