NAMBLA is the North American Man/Boy Love Association, that promotes 'freedom' for men to engage in sexual acts with underage boys. You can find info on Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAMBLA ) or on NAMBLA's own website: ( 216.220.97.17 )

I think NAMBLA would probably be thrilled to be connected to the queer movement. But as a whole, we don't want them. There is some debate about what age of consent should be (between all people, gay or straight) in the professional community, but there definitely SHOULD be an age of consent, and it definitely should NOT be less than 16. The one thing you always hear from pedophiles is that the child in question wanted it. This group is repulsive.

XXON10 is just annoying and offensive. I wouldn't believe anything he says.
As for NAMBLA, can I just say "ew." They're paedophiles trying to justify their actions, much like some racist groups hide behind the first amendment, or a small child says "he started it."
NAMBLA's main argument is that in ancient cultures (they mainly site Roman/Greek culture) men would often have sexual relations with boys. What they don't seem to (or don't want to) realize is that, whereas this is true, those "boys" were usually around 12 or so. In those times, they were men in their own right, and sexual relationships were a form of teaching. It tied the two men closer together so that when they fought, as often the relationships formed between military men and their pupils, or were captured, they would fight harder for someone they cared more deeply about.
NAMBLA is a perverted dream that these men have formed to justify themselves. No one should support them and they should always be reported to the local authorities immediately.

No link between gays and NAMBLA that I know of but there seems to be a link between NAMBLA and the Greedy Old Perverts in DC.

I think any reference to homosexuality and pedophilia is sick. I was raped by 7 guys when I was 9 years old I was tortured by the rape for 29 years I refuse to have those men who by the way where all straight and as far as I know are still straight identified with homosexual. Their act was one of violence and power against a child they where all over 15 and therefore in this day and age could have been tried as an adult. I didn't even know what homosexual was then. I knew I was different and then they called me one I was appalled because if that was what gays did I wanted no part of it. I still don't do anal. I still associate it with an act of degradation and emasculation.
Pedophiles deserve to be locked in prison for the rest of their lives. If not then they need to be marked in some way, so society can see that they are not like the rest of society.

I am a gay man and a father, and I despise organizations like NAMBLA. They disgust me. Now for some education, most NAMBLA members are str8 not gay, so I guess now the question becomes, what do XXON10 and his followers think of that?

If gays were organized enough to be linked to anything as a segment of the population it would be madison avenue and cable TV. I think people get too excited when they talk about The Gays. They're a percentage of the population sort of like THE CHRISTIANS. They don't all so something or all oppose it.

I believe that there is nothing wrong with being gay, but it is wrong to be sexually active with children that are not yet ready to handle sexual activity. It's very damaging to the psyche to have sex before you have become mature. I know some cultures allow people as young as 13/14 to marry, (but I don't agree with that either).

People need to look at their statistics. Pedophiles are 95% heterosexual. This is a fact. Statistically speaking, heterosexuals are the great majority of all pedophiles.

Pedophilia and homosexuality are in no way related, so I'm not sure why you are directing your question to gays.
