That article is from last year and isn't anything new. The American Psychiatric Association already considers pedophiliac urges a mental disorder, but hasn't yet called for decriminalizing acting on those urges.
I doubt anything in the ruling helps legalizing pedophilia. As for polygamy, close relatives, who knows.
Mentally and morally deficient gay bashers who continue to parrot long debunked 'smear and fear' propaganda and lies and false association fallacies are no better than members of the KKK or Neo-Nazi groups. Grow up and educate yourselves, it's embarrassing.
Margo Kaplan's Op-Ed was published by the NYT in October, 2014, eight months before the SCOTUS decision on SSM.
There has never been a shortage of people who view pedophilia as a mental disorder, a disability.
This has nothing to do with SSM.
And if one actually clicks on the link and READS it, they are saying that people who are afflicted with this sickness (Pedophiles) should have the right to GET HELP. They are not demanding rights to have sex with children.
So the OP here seems to be in favor of keeping pedophiles the way they are. Presumably at the expense of their victims, so they can "win" a point in a political discussion??? Un-freakin'-believable.
Can someone tell me why you WOULDN'T want to allow Pedophiles to get help to prevent them from committing this atrocity?
The mentality of some people is just mind-blowingly scary!!!!
I see that the article is completely foreign to what the OP claims in his title. As another poster said, it is more about getting these people treatment.

I agree with the bolded.
Pedophilia is defined as a sexual interest in prepubescent children. It is child abuse, plain and simple.
As the vast majority of men who sexually abuse children are straight, married, religious men who sexually abuse their own children or children they know, they can already get married. When are you going to protest that?
Well, we might begin by clarifying that any genital contact between two people of the same sex is homosexual even if not gay, which is now viewed more as a lifestyle than necessarily homosexual. And being married or religious does don't prevent someone from being homosexual either.

We might further clarify the difference between:
1) Sexual Orientation, and;
2) Sexual Acts.
A woman who is hired to engage in lesbian sex as a porn actress is not a lesbian or even bisexual if she otherwise identifies with being straight and just does it for a paycheck. She is a straight woman engaging in homosexual ACTS. Likewise, a homosexual who has shacked up with a woman for religious reasons and has to think of tight abs and dudes in order to have sex with his wife is a homosexual engaging in heterosexual sex acts. A nun who has never had sex in her life but has a crush on Brad Pitt is still a heterosexual woman.
Pedophilia is not an adult orientation. Adults with adult orientations are attracted to the secondary sex characteristics of their partners: mature penises, mature breasts, etc. Many (most?) pedophiles cannot and do not have any desire to sleep with grown men or grown women.
Their "preference" for a male or female underage victim cannot and never should be considered analogous to heterosexual or homosexual sex involving consenting adults.
The thing that full-stops ANY pedophile's "right" to marry, have sex with, whatever they want with pre-pubescent children is that children lack CONSENT. Always have and always will. There is no way to get around that. That's why its so abhorrent. It's rape in every instance.
This "movement" to nomaljze pedophilia, have it classed as a sexual orientation, decriminalization of their acts with children, etc, has been around d a while. I can't recall it being tied in with any mainstream "gay rights" groups. Must wacko stuff on the fringes. There is a pretty large, underground, network of these creeps. The internet has given them a target rich environment to hunt in and to connect with other of their verminous kind. Trading stalking tactics, kiddie porn and such.
I don't believe that gay men are the #1 offenders here, a d this drivel about heterosexual men being the big bad wolf is just counter smear response. These creeps are neither gay nor straight. They are child predators. Sorry to say, but you folks that are pointing fingers at gays/straights are just reactively trying to insult each other. Its counterproductive, at best .
Child molesters are child molesters. Anyone capable of sexually abusing a child is just a flea bit , verminous, diseased rodent. I don't care mantle they hide behind, be it religious leader, family type guy, or the ice cream man.
