An assistant professor at Old Dominion University claims that it’s okay for people to be sexually attracted to minors as long as they don’t act upon their disgusting urges.
Allyn Walker, who identifies as “queer, nonbinary trans,” posited that people can’t control who they’re attracted to, but can control their actions, so unless those people choose to abuse children, they should not be considered depraved.
“There is no morality or immorality attached to attraction to anyone because no one can control who they’re attracted to at all,” the sociology and criminal justice professor explained. “In other words, it’s not who we’re attracted to that’s either OK or not OK. It’s our behaviors and responding to that attraction that are either OK or not OK.”
Walker seemingly believes that there’s a difference between child sexual abusers and “minor-attracted persons (MAPs),” and attempted to reason that the latter should not be criminalized for their degenerately inclined predilections.
The Old Dominion University employee said that many MAPs never commit sexual offenses against children, and that society shouldn’t assume that just because they’re attracted to kids, means they’ll commit a crime.
“We start to criminalize a population just because of their attractions,” they said. “Not only is this a problem in terms of criminalization, but it also serves to heighten stigma against MAPs in general.”
They detailed that stigmatizing MAPs in an attempt to protect children is “hugely problematic,” because it makes the pedophiles believe they’re “destined to commit an offense against a child,” rather than realizing they have a choice to not engage in criminal behavior.
“Stigma against MAPs is a problem, in part because it makes MAPs think that they’re monsters. That’s really problematic in terms of MAP well-being,” Walker added. “It’s really hard to cope when you think you’re a terrible person, because you have attractions that you can’t change.”
Disturbingly, Walker shared their beliefs in an interview with the Prostasia Foundation, an organization that claims they have “zero tolerance” for child sexual abuse, but also promotes ‘civil rights and sex positivity.”
Critics crushed Walker for “considering pedophilia just one more “sexual orientation” and attempting to “normalize pederastic desire.”

And it’s okay for non-deviant people to lock up DEVIANTS to protect our children from DEVIANTS like you. Right? You betcha!
globalist puppet, chester libby snow flakes are just like their god globalist puppet, chester biden .
I want to ask Tranny if they mean attracted to the energy of the youth etc. or was it more like the opening of a gift package of unknown origin ?
NOT in the deviant porn scene NO
It should not be allowed to teach. Is it okay to let people think about stealing or killing others?, NO!! Because sooner or later, it becomes an obsession, and people will act on these.
I agree with the professor, the Church teaches us that there are four ways mankind sin, 1- by our thoughts 2- words 3- deeds 4- omission. If we could say/add 5th way, by our feelings, it would be this one, the man experiencing attraction for minors(pedophilia). If the man go raping a child, then; has committed 4 sins! At this point the man becomes property of satan/hell! Time to ask God to rescue him!, same goes for the whole lgbtqb mess!; a mess that only God can clean it up!
Oh, So it’s Only the Perverted Queers that aro the problem???????????????????
We were meant to reproduce, and that’s the law of nature. The other law of nature is to protect
our offspring against harm to continue the reproductive cycle that keeps us going.
If the cycle is broken it causes the natural world to collapse, and that’s becomes a problem.
Leave the children alone, and get out of town.
Confused . Why do we need to support MAPS?
Many people think about committing crimes but do not carry them out and do not try to normalize what would be a crime if acted on. Keep those thoughts to yourself .
God have mercy!
Of course it’s alright to be attracted to children. Evolution (or God, if you prefer) has designed them to be visually appealing, provoking both an attraction and a parental/protective response. Look at any baby animal – oversized heads, round faces, large eyes but otherwise small, stunted features, short, chunky arms and legs. And it’s true not just for mammals. Bird chicks show the same combination of traits. More remarkably, so do reptiles, despite their less involved association with their offspring – a baby sea turtle has that same big head, big eyed, small featured, round faced look as a kitten or a puppy even tho’ its mother will be long gone by the time it hatches out of its egg in the sand and makes its scurry toward the water. So, it is hardly surprising that adults (whatever their sexual orientation) would be attracted to children, it’s the way Nature inten… WAIT, WHAT? This professor is talking about being SEXUALLY attracted to children? What kind of sick s**t is THAT?!?! Those neotenous features I described are meant to evoke a protective instinct, not get the adult animal all hot and bothered! Good grief. These sickos should be removed from the planet.
This is where approving the LGBT agenda is taking us; more and more promiscuity with boundaries being moved, blurred and even removed. This is an ungodly path that will only result in great unrest among the population, even those who say they want this. We need moral boundaries just like the children who push their boundaries. STOP this madness and let’s move back to our Judeo-Christian morality, laws and basis for life!
Well, clearly academia has no problem with pedophilia. Nothing has been done about this individual. Apparently, we’re supposed to take the thoughts of a clearly sick mind as the guideline for the acceptance of our moral compass.
What a creep!
How about attracted to sheep?
That would be good, sheep tend to carry syphilis, let em get it and join Al Crapone in hell
Note: the business of sociology another one of those educational creepy entities that cropped up and is in the news because they have no business telling anyone anything about what they think in most cases it is a required course to graduate from a college program because if not req’d it would die out and then another brainiac would be on the public dole.
It’s long overdue to wipe out these perverts. No more talk. I never fell for their we just want to be accepted crap. I will NEVER accept you or your perverted sick ways. Come to Christ before you end up in HELL.
Our education system has hit a new LOW
about twenty five years ago it hit that low
Do you really want teachers like that teaching your kids
Or your great-Grandkids,…. Thankfully mine are in Cristian-Charter schools,…. and not Catholic.
Does anyone believe this person?
This is a true member of the communist democrat pedophile racist cult party and all should be removed and exiled to Afghanistan!
Progressivism continues. Next year it will be, “ nothing wrong with acting on the pedophilic impulses if the encounter is consensual.” Then, “sexual expression and experimentation at any age is a fundamental human right!!” With California leading the way. Sound familiar?
