Creating “Gay” Children http://www.rsvpamerica.org/crafting%20august%202001.htm<br />

The Gay Lifestyle Facilitates Boy Prostitution. After admitting, “sex abuse in childhood as<br />

a cause of male prostitution has become almost conventional wisdom,” and that, “the perpetrators<br />

are nearly always men,” homophile Donald West, in Male Prostitution protests that while his study of<br />

male prostitutes found high rates of child sexual abuse, he felt there was a high rate of consent. [194]<br />

Prior to M&K, the bi/homosexual movement was much more candid about pederasty and their<br />

articles, illustrations, and advertisements reflect that. The artist for the mainstream gay publication,<br />

The Advocate created the boy image above left, “this playful character,” as The Advocate’s “unofficial<br />

mascot” for years. However, while the “mascot” is the innocent, undeveloped face of a boy roughly<br />

10-years-old, his face has been presented upright by this author since the “mascot’s” face has been<br />

drawn onto a superman’s macho-male adult body—(a common girl-woman technique found as well<br />

in heterosexual pornography). Below left is the young boy “mascot,” (reduced here to 1/3 its size), as<br />

he is presented rump-up, offering more than just a suggestion of “consensual” sexual use to<br />

hundreds of thousands of avid adult Advocate male viewers. Addressing boy prostitution, West says:<br />

“Gay Search… comments on the fact that children are often given presents<br />

after cooperating with an abuser and writes: “it is easy to see how being rewarded<br />

for sexual favors can lead… very naturally to prostitution [195] …”<br />

“Boyer (1989) has argued that the culture of gay bars and meeting places,<br />

often referred to as a sexual market place (Read, 1980) by its emphasis on casual<br />

encounters and sexual conquest, holds out to young gays the expectation of<br />

patronage by older males and presents prostitution as a more or less normal aspect<br />
