  • It actual is a recognised mental disorder paraphilia, it is also classified as a gender identity. DSM IV is the mental health standard that addresses this.

  • This guy is claiming that pedophiles could be protected under the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which defines as a federal crime acts of violence motivated by prejudice against people with disabilities, among others. But pedophilia is not considered a "disability" under current federal law.

    Stop with the falesoohds and fear-mongering, Steve King!

  • I would tell you what id do to a pediphile if i cought him/her in a sex crime against a child but i cant anylonger becouse it is illegal..

  • Overall, this hate crimes bill is a piece of crappy legislation, and the Chairman deliberately set it up for a quick vote without listening for any other comments!!!

  • According to the American Psychological Association and the DSM IV, pedophilia is one of the many definitions of sexual disorders which could ultimately be covered undered the Americans with Disabilities Act. And what Rep. King said is absolutely true! Why don't you do your own homework

  • Which still doesn't fall under "sexual orientation" or "disability" and is thus not covered under the legislation.

  • What? That Steve King would fear-monger in such an obvious fashion? I agree; unreal indeed.

  • un fucking real
