Homosexuality refers to erotic attraction towards the same sex, whether expressed or not. Those preferentially attracted in such a way are homosexuals; gays if they are male, and lesbians if they are female. Preferential gay boylovers and lesbian girllovers can therefore be described as homosexuals. Minor Attracted People are nevertheless generally excluded from discussions of homosexualities, and the gay/lesbian (LGBTQ+) community - particularly in the post-1994 western world (see below section on "gay").
Genetics
Despite many attempts to locate (and politically mobilize) a "gay gene", it appears that genetics are unable to accurately predict homosexuality, since it is a complex phenomenon with social, cultural and behavioral components.[1] Support for gay rights has (among other political traits) been correlated with genetic factors.[2]
Gay
"Gay" is a term now used to describe roughly same-age attracted homosexual men. Gay is also used in reference to cultural identities and political movements which have now diverged from the radicalism of queer and pederastic politics. Today, gays and most of the modern LGBTQ+ Movement are generally associated with moderate liberal attempts to assimilate with mainstream society and enhance their status as a socially acceptable minority, for example, the modern LGBTQ+ lobby has even attempted to criminalize comparisons with pedophilia in the UK as hate speech.
Central to the mainstreaming/assimilation attempts of modern gay activists is the denial, if not outright revision of their movement's former manifestations against the Age of Consent, which often went well beyond simply equalizing the gay age of consent.
Victims of Pedophobia
Anti-MAP prejudice has been disproportionately used against gay men and queer MAPs, meaning that while queer people may stand to benefit from educating the public about MAP issues, the risk of doing so is high.
Numerous vigilante groups such as Predator Poachers have been known to use anti-MAP prejudice as cover for their homophobic motivations.
