My exact claim, which has been consistent and clear, is that they are at higher rates. You're the one intentionally dodging context. Of course given their much smaller number they can easily be much more predisposed to such acts and still make up a minority of those who actually commit them. Why do you keep trying to muddy the waters like this? It's a pure strawman, a hallmark of bad-faith argumentation.

> This paper was published in 1992. Back then, societal attitudes towards homosexuality were far worse. Given that, I don’t buy the argument that this was any kind of standard deferential nonsense towards liberalism. Even many liberals didn’t like queers back then; you didn’t need to walk on eggshells.
Academia is very different from real life, especially the fluffier "sciences".

> In the preceding section you say that posting a link doesnt make a claim; and now you say it does make a claim.
More rhetorical nonsense. I've never said either. I have personally made claims, and posted a few links related to said claims.
> Did you have any comment about that?
Cool. This is your one actual substantial criticism.

I'll summarize. The humor unfortunately gets lost in the process.
Foucault, who provided the philosophical foundation for Queer Theory, wanted to abolish age of consent laws all the way down to infants. (Not mentioned: his alleged rape of Tunisian boys).
Gayle Rubin, author of the founding text of Queer Theory, Thinking Sex, dedicated half of said document to defending pederasty and compared pedophilia to a preference for spicy foods.
And Queer Theorists ever since (he specifically provides examples for Pat Califia and Judith Butler) have consistently reaffirmed this defense of pedophilia.
Aside from Queer Theory, which the video focuses on, on the more conventional gay rights side of things, you have celebrated poet Allen Ginsberg, Harry Hay (mentor of Will Roscoe, inventor of "two spirit"), David Thorstad, &c. all involved with NAMBLA. That's quite a resumé. But I know, as I'm sure you do, how frankly such topics are acknowledged and discussed internally within the gay community. How commonly such things as nonmonogamy and pederasty are understood to be inherent to the condition, how much trauma is widely acknowledged as a contributing factor, how well it's understood that the "Will and Grace" pop culture personas and the "born this way" slogans were just pretty lies that were necessary to placate those evil Others.
After writing this up, I did stumble across a transcript of the video here: https://borazansesli.com/2020/12/16/queer-theory-pedophilia-...
