Paedophiles are trying to gain acceptance to the LGBT community by rebranding themselves.

In a bid to gain acceptance, they have rebranded themselves as MAPs or “Minor Attracted Persons” and have gone so far to even create a rainbow “Pride” flag for Gay Pride, but Twitter user, Communist Fish, posted a picture back in June to warn children to stay away.

They wrote: “PSA TO MINORS: IF YOU SEE THIS “””PRIDE””” FLAG ANYWHERE BE WARNED this flag is for MAPS, which stands for minor attracted person (s) THIS IS A FLAG FOR PEDOPHILES [sic]”

The group attempt to claim that paedophiles are misunderstood people and if they do not act upon their attraction to children, they shouldn’t be marginalised.

Sites like The Prevention Project have started to post testimonials from paedophiles who are seeking help with their attraction, claiming everyone “needs support”.

One of the testimonials reads: ““John” was suicidal. He had been bullied by trolls on social media for most of his life for being different.

“The bullies were primarily people who claimed, based on their religious beliefs, that “John” was going to hell and deserved to die.

“They described how they would kill him on his twitter page and people supported their hate.

“Desperate for help, John sought treatment for his shame, depression, and suicidality. Although he was scared to share about himself with a stranger, he felt desperate for help as he had NO desire to harm anyone, ever.

“Once he shared about his attraction to children, his therapist told him, “I don’t treat sex offenders.””
