If you’re a “MAP” (see: pedophile) stay the fuck away from me thanks I do not trust people who call pedophiles MAPs don’t use their destigmatized version of the word. Miss me with that bullshit, pedophilia is pedophilia. They say “don’t use pedophile as an umbrella term” They go by lots of terms, like NOMAP and SOMAP and stuff like that, saying if they’re “non offending” or they ask for consent from the child, that it’s okay. Watch out for these PEDOPHILE FLAGS /lvo2l53kIGĪ “MAP” is a “Minor Attracted Person.” Basically a pedophile. The first one is the lesbian flag and lemme just say lesbians you deserve so much better. THIS IS A FLAG FOR PEDOPHILES /agx2ryySqxĪnyway folks both of these flags are for MAPS aka pedophiles. This flag is for MAPs, which stands for minor attracted person(s) PSA TO MINORS: IF YOU SEE THIS “””PRIDE””” FLAG ANYWHERE BE WARNED Additionally, many also called out the problematic nature of using a term like ‘minor attracted persons’ to normalize pedophilia. Many on social media are warning LGBTI people and allies to be wary of the MAPs flag during Pride season. After all, isolation and depression are known to increase one’s risk of doing something they might regret.īy the way, we have talked to “Janes” who are women who identify as anti-contact, non-offending pedophiles and like “John”, they have no desire to sexually harm children.’Ĭonsidering the long-standing trope that LGBTI people are rapists and/or child molesters, the fact those who actually have attraction to children are attempting to co-opt LGBTI spaces is disturbing.

“John” deserves support as do others who have a minor attraction. He is also fervent about helping prevent child sexual abuse by speaking out against it and by showing his support of global child sexual abuse prevention programs on his social media. “John” is not a child molester nor is he a sex offender. Once he shared about his attraction to children, his therapist told him, “I don’t treat sex offenders,”’ a passage on The Prevention Project about MAPs reads. 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. Desperate for help, John sought treatment for his shame, depression, and suicidality. They described how they would kill him on his twitter page and people supported their hate.

The bullies were primarily people who claimed, based on their religious beliefs, that “John” was going to hell and deserved to die. He had been bullied by trolls on social media for most of his life for being different. MAPs attempts to soften the idea of pedophilia by insisting it’s not wrong if there is no contact. "That moment when you see it in the sky - HOPE!" he said.Groups of pedophiles are attempting to be part of the LGBTI community.Ī group known as MAPs (or Minor Attracted Persons, not to be confused with the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) has been circulating its own version of the Pride flag.

Up to the very end, Baker never stopped working on the flag and its message of acceptance. I like to think of those elements as in every person," Baker said in that 2017 interview. Pink is for sex, red is for life, orange for healing, yellow for sun, green, nature, turquoise for magic, blue for serenity, and purple for the spirit. "Hand-dyed, big mess, cotton, oh my God you don't even want to know, stitch, stitch, stitch on the little Singer. In that Mainterview, Baker described his work and what the flag meant to him. The first flag created by Baker had more colors than the ones we are used to seeing, eight instead of six. "In this phone call, he asked me whatever happened to that fragment of the original flag and I said, 'What fragment?' and he started to describe this thing to me and the hairs on the back of my neck goes up and I'm like, 'He's talking about this thing in my closet,'" Beal said.Īfter examining the grommets, rope and stitching, they were able to verify that it was the original flag.
