Pedopilia declared a “sexual orientation” by witnesses in House Justice Committee

We knew this was coming.

Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights

Dr. Hubert Van Gijseghem (Psychologist and Professor (retired), University of Montreal, As an Individual): When we speak of therapy or when individuals get therapy and we feel as though everyone is pacified, the good news is often illusory. For instance, it is a fact that real pedophiles account for only 20% of sexual abusers. If we know that pedophiles are not simply people who commit a small offence from time to time but rather are grappling with what is equivalent to a sexual orientation just like another individual may be grappling with heterosexuality or even homosexuality, and if we agree on the fact that true pedophiles have an exclusive preference for children, which is the same as having a sexual orientation, everyone knows that there is no such thing as real therapy. You cannot change this person’s sexual orientation. He may however remain abstinent.

...

Mr. Marc Lemay (Abitibi—Témiscamingue, BQ): I will try to focus on this subject. I have to admit that I was not expecting, on this Valentine’s Day, to be talking about this inappropriate type of love. It is not really love. It has more to do with violence and control. I am concerned, Professor Van Gijseghem—and I know you well as I have heard you testify on a number of other subjects—because you say, if I am not mistaken, that pedophilia is a sexual orientation.


Dr. Hubert Van Gijseghem: That is what I said.

Mr. Marc Lemay: Should it therefore be compared to homosexuality?

Dr. Hubert Van Gijseghem: Yes, or heterosexuality. If, for instance, you were living in a society where heterosexuality is proscribed or prohibited and you were told that you had to get therapy to change your sexual orientation, you would probably say that that is slightly crazy. In other words, you would not accept that at all. I use this analogy to say that, yes indeed, pedophiles do not change their sexual orientation.

Mr. Marc Lemay: In my opinion, society and no one around this table will accept pedophilia, even if it is a sexual orientation. I recall a period, not too long ago, when homosexuality was treated as an illness. It is now accepted, society has accepted it, and even if some refuse to recognize it, it is accepted. However, I cannot imagine pedophilia being accepted in 2011.(...)

Give it ten or twenty years.

But see, YOU CANNOT DISCRIMINATE  WITH REGARD TO SEXUAL ORIENTATION.

So if a pedophile wants to move into you apartment building where you live with your three kids, you cannot deny him.

If pedophilia is a sexual orientation like any other.

Sure, this is only coming out now. NAMBLA will be on this any time soon, making the apology for man-boy love.

But now leftists will be in a quandry. They will either have to accept pedophilia or accept that Christians can question homosexual behaviour and discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation.

I predict they will accept pedophilia. Maybe not now. But give it twenty years. There's a reason nobody in the artistic world gives a damn about Roman Polanski's crime against a 13-year-old. That kind of laissez-faire morality is chic.Getting a moral high horse about anything sexual would ruin their self-image.
