Long Dark Shadow Quotes

“And so, here we are, in an age where we tell each other that MAPs are evil and destined to hurt children. In an age where we keep MAPs afraid of coming out to family and friends, even if they need help to keep from committing an offense. In an age where we keep MAPs from supporting each other online, where we keep MAPs from asking for help from mental health professionals, where we ask children to protect *themselves* from sexual abuse. To move beyond these problems, we have one clear path to take: remove the stigma of attraction to minors and place it solely on the behavior of sexual offending against children.”
― Allyn Walker, Long Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity
