政治右派往往將MAP們（喜歡未成年人的人）視為涉及LGBTQ+權利的「文化戰爭」的下一階段。政治左派則常將MAP們視為4chan上的騙局，意在詆毀LGBTQ+群體。雙方都錯了，本文將說明原因。
今年五月，奧爾巴尼市議員Thomas Brough因聲稱「LGBTQ+」縮寫中的「+」號也包含戀童癖者而遭到斥責。他在市議會會議上深思熟慮地表示：「我鼓勵大家去了解何謂『minor-attracted persons』。」結果，Brough因此遭到Albany Pride等各LGBTQ+團體的嚴厲批評，這些團體聲稱此類關聯純屬捏造。在引發公憤後，他已被要求接受「敏感度培訓」。
現代的LGBTQ+團體當然有權表達自己的觀點，而且許多現代酷兒確實與MAP保持距離。然而，歷史告訴我們，他們否認與MAP之間存在任何聯繫是錯誤的。酷兒社群中一些最傑出的思想家其實是 MAP，或是對喜歡未成年持中立或積極的態度。同志權利運動之父Harry Hay曾堅決主張，應將那些倡導未成年愛好者群體權益的組織（例如NAMBLA）納入更廣泛的酷兒解放鬥爭之中。但這僅是MAP與同志群體之間眾多連結的其中一例，這類連結的數量之多，絕非可以忽視。
本文將探討同志權益運動與MAP之間的歷史，並試圖釐清「酷兒」一詞在當今...
Mu is an international organization representing MAPs around the world. A recent survey of various MAP communities revealed a number of key concerns. One of the biggest issues was the misunderstanding of minor-attraction and all it entails. Let's take a quick look at some of the major misunderstandings.
Attraction is not action
Most people attracted to adults act on their feelings by having sex with other adults. Therefore, everyone assumes that most people attracted to minors must inevitably act on their feelings by having sex with minors. This is far too simplistic. First of all, there are widespread disagreem...
In September 2024, Mu surveyed a number of MAPs on our own MAP Forum, B4U-Act's message board B4um, and the popular GirlLover board Visions of Alice.
We asked ten questions about the feelings and experiences of participants. In this two-part article, we will summarize trends, provide key quotes from the survey, and finish with a brief analysis of key findings.
This is Part 2 of 2.
Question 8. What changes are needed?
Responses varied, but awareness and understanding of the true nature of minor-attraction and MAPs was the most common de...

Mu thanks the administrators of B4U-Act and Visions of Alice for supporting our survey of their communities.
Question 1. When did you first realize you were a MAP, and how did you feel?

This post deals with themes of suicide, MAP phobia, and incarceration. If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts, we understand that calling for support can be an intimidating experience. Please consider these resources on B4U-ACT to see if there is something appropriate. You deserve life.
September is Suicide Prevention Month. You might have noticed links to various mental health hotlines appearing more frequently as you browse the internet. Or maybe you have seen people wearing teal and purple ribbons as they go about shopping. Suicide is a problem for all segments of the community, but particular demographics are especially vulnerable. Indigenous people, men, people...
Mu is an umbrella organization for MAPs that has no official connection with MAP Camp. Following social media fallout over our prior press release and contact with media organizations, we issue the following response.
First of all, we are concerned that certain people have been labeled as responsible for hosting the event. Their personal information has been broadcast on social media, despite those individuals denying any association. We believe that such doxxing is dangerous, especially on an issue as sensitive as minor-attraction. People have been killed over accusations of "pedophilia", whether those accusations have been...
Mu is an international umbrella organization seeking to represent the MAP community. While it supported the MAP Camp event being held, it has no ties with MAP Camp itself, nor with the organizers of the event.
MAP Camp was a planned social gathering for minor-attracted people (MAPs) that was scheduled to be held this weekend at a campground in Vermont. It was first organized in July of this year by civil rights group MEDAL (MAP Equality, Dignity, and Liberation) but soon after became independently run. Preparation for the camp seemed to be going smoothly until bullies on X (formerly Twitter) caught win...
Celebrity "pedophilia" is again making headlines this summer, causing considerable embarrassment and a sense of deja-vu for a public-broadcasting institution.
When the news first broke, the British public were apparently shocked to hear their 'national treasure', BBC bigwig, and royal reporter Huw Edwards apparently had some kind of interest in teenagers. Never mind that he had not been accused of sexual interaction with anyone under the local age of consent (16). Having any sexual interest in minors, under the age of 18, was itself a cardinal sin.
The star presente...
One of the key stories of the Olympics and its buildup has been the participation of Dutch volleyball player Steven van de Velde. Branded a 'child rapist' in the majority of news and social media articles, it is easy to assume that he forced himself upon an unwilling child. That is not the case.
In many countries - including the UK where the incident occurred - oral, vaginal, or anal sex with a person under a certain age is automatically treated as 'rape...
