To ensure the protection of children, we must end the secrecy and lack of knowledge surrounding the attraction to children and adolescents. B4U-ACT's goals are to make accurate information about it widely available, and to make research-based mental health services available to people with such feelings of attraction. The mental health of minor-attracted people ensures the well-being of children. B4U-ACT works toward these goals by holding workshops for clinicians, speaking to university classes, providing peer support, disseminating information through email, and facilitating other means of discussion and collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and minor-attracted people.
B4U-ACT's name refers to the fact that it is crucially important for minor-attracted people, therapists, researchers, and citizens to think before they act in ways that could harm children, society, or minor-attracted people. Obviously, minor-attracted people should abide by the law because of the potential risk to children and themselves of doing otherwise. In addition, all people should recognize that no one chooses to be attracted to children, that these feelings typically begin in adolescence, that many, perhaps most, do not act on these feelings, and that minor-attracted people can and do live law-abiding lives and contribute positively to their communities. Therefore, vilifying them for their feelings is unjust and harmful; it forces them into lives of secrecy and prevents them from getting help when needed, ultimately putting children at risk.
This is from the group that is organizing the event.
Notice the name of the group?
B4UACT.
The mission is to get people help BEFORE they molest children. Help them deal with their attractions, so that they DON'T molest children.
What is so wrong with removing the stigma of getting help for pedophiles BEFORE they molest children?
How is this a bad thing?
If people are to embarrassed or afraid to get help, or have a support group, they are more likely to victimize children.

I think it's bad because I believe it's dishonest....I think pedophilia IS a behavioral and environmental problem but this is just a poorly veiled agenda to lend credibility to sexual orientation being genetically expressed. By presenting it as "natural" but needing to be treated because of social norms, it stays consistent with their agenda.
Of course they are endorsing it. It is the next step in the LGBT agenda. It was ALWAYS a part of it.
...and there it is...
Inevitable and ignorant.
