Peter Tatchell: How I have tried to expose the truth about his child abuse apologism

I have no idea why he is viewed as a hero

Since 2001, I have written about Peter Tatchell’s pro ‘paedophile’ views. I need to add a qualifier here: I don’t actually use the term paedophile to describe those that choose to sexually abuse or take part in the exploitation of children, because it is often considered to be a medical term, and therefore something the person doing the abusing is not responsible for. It also suggests that there are distinct groups of men (because they are almost always men), that have a predilection for sex with children, and that they are a unique group. This isn’t the case. Anyway, you can read my views on this by googling my name and the term ‘paedophile’.

Back to the business at hand. Tatchell has long rewritten the sexual abuse of children as something that can be enjoyed - in particular by boys who later identify as being gay as adults. I won’t go into any more detail, but below are some of the articles I’ve written.

Just to say, there have been times when Tatchell has emailed me asking me to stop making such allegations, claiming that I have completely misunderstood him.

Over to you.
