North American Man-Boy Love AssociationThe North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) is an organization of pedophiles who claim that sex between grown men and boys should be legal. Many accused or convicted child molestors have been said to have been involved in the organisation, for example Rev. Paul Shanley[?], a Catholic priest from Boston accused of raping boys.The gay movement has been accused of having links to NAMBLA, especially by right-wing Christians, although the majority of gay rights organizations reject all these claims. In the early 1990s, the International Lesbian and Gay Association had its UN ECOSOC consultative NGO status withdrawn after it was revealed it had links to NAMBLA. ILGA then expelled NAMBLA from the organization, but still has not been able to get back consultative status. A small minority of the gay movement opposed ILGA's action as a witchhunt. The US Congress threatened to stop UN dues payments if the UN gave consultative status to any groups who defended pedophilia -- this was under the Helms amendment to the 1994-1995 Foreign Relations Authorization Act Fiscal Year 1994/1995 (Public Law 103-236) which stated in section 101(g):
The analogue of NAMBLA in The Netherlands is the association MARTIJN (for acceptence of pedophilia), which was founded in 1982. arbitrary? Did they never lay hands on the purses of their
