Debate Guide: MAPs are invalid
- "No attraction to minors is a valid sexuality, whatever label you put on it. Your age is not your sex! Child or Teenager are not genders, invalid!"
This argument is often made (but not exclusively so) by LGBT people who like to claim that MAPs can not be gay or queer under any circumstances, and should voluntarily distance themselves from the LGBT Movement.
The first thing that should be pointed out, is that nobody actually uses the term "MAP" to denote a sexuality. It is in fact an identity; an umbrella term used to unify people with differing attractions, who have been put in the same boat as a result of political/cultural circumstances. Pedophilia and Hebephilia are examples of sexual "orientations" that fall under this umbrella term.
