Summary:A disturbing poster displaying a grown man holding a child’s hand over a rainbow background reminiscent of a LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) pride flag, reading “Paedophiles are people too, love is love” was briefly posted near a school in Oregon on July 2018 (Jackman, 2018). An image of this poster had spread like wildfire across the globe through social media, sparking anger all over the world. Apart from trying to piggyback off the LGBT pride background, this poster also tried to normalise paedophilia among the society. There are movements by adult men and women trying desperately to regularise paedophilia by labelling themselves as “Pedosexual” or Minor Attracted Persons (MAPS). This misleading euphemism is trying to blur the lines between right and wrong by adding confusion and depravity into the social order.
