    That’s where it gets into the super-mega-tricky politics.
    You’ve got to advocate for helping to reform someone doing something harmful (diddling kids).
    While also defending not doing a similar thing to other people who are not causing harm (being gay).
    While a third group is trying to conflate the two, because they want them both to suffer.
    And a fourth group (unrepentant diddlers) try to conflate in the opposite direction to normalise their diddling.

    Absolute fucking minefield, so the upshot is people who could be helped, don’t get helped.

      Exactly what I’m thinking. If you could cure paedophilia (which would be a good thing) then you may be able to cure homosexuality (which could and would be abused quite a bit). Although it is worth mentioning that Huw Edwards wasn’t diddling, but I assume you were just talking about in general
