APA to correct manual: Pedophilia is not a ‘sexual orientation’
Pedophilia is not a “sexual orientation,” and erroneous use of that phrase will be corrected soon in its new manual on mental illnesses, the American Psychiatric Association said Thursday.
The APA’s statement came in response to media inquiries, including from The Washington Times, about an uproar on the Internet that the APA had designated pedophilia as a sexual orientation in its new Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, known as DSM-5 or DSM-V.

The Guardian speaks up for paedophiles, flirts with anti-Semitism and jumps on every crazy Leftist bandwagon in sight. What happened to quality control?
You know how mad conservatives always used to say, “Some day we’ll be told to emphathise with paedophiles?” Well, we’ve reached that day. The Guardian has published a piece that calls for more understanding towards those who are attracted to children. It’s written in the same “thoughtful” and abstract tone that one might use when discussing the tragedy of an ingrowing toenail. As printed on the page, the editors pulled out a particularly bizarre quote and set it in bold: “We can maybe avoid the hysteria. We should respect and value those paedophiles who choose self-retraint.” Yeah, right. Give those guys a medal.
