What Does Doug Wilson Believe?

LGBTQ+ Issues

The “+” in LGBTQ+ Includes Pedophilia, and Consensual Gay Sex Is as Sinful as Child Rape

Does it include pedophiles?

In Douglas Wilson’s own words: 3 quotes from 2005 to 2026, from UNCLOSETED with Spencer Macnaughton, Black & Tan and The Young Turks, each cited to the source.

[Spencer Macnaughton: “Right, that’s pedophilia though, which is of course different than homosexuality.”] Well, it’s a species of homosexual behavior. So let’s say it’s a Roman Catholic priest and a 15-year-old boy... [SM: “So you see pedophilia as an element of homosexuality, is that right?”] Yeah, if we’re talking about the alphabet people. Right? ... LGBTQ+. What’s under the plus? [SM: “Not pedophilia. Would you consider adding a ‘P’? Do you think a P is meant into that umbrella of LGBTQ?”] Absolutely. [SM: “You do? Because you conflate lesbians and gay people with, like, kind of akin to pedophiles. People who rape children?”] I don’t think that I’m making that association. I think the LGBTQ+ acronym, that whole chain, is sort of a sexual alliance of people who are defying traditional biblical norms. And pedophilia is one of those things that defies those norms. [SM: “Do you see two men having sex as equally sinful as a man raping a girl?”] Yeah, they’re both violations of God’s law.

Sodomites parade in the streets, claiming that if we do not appropriate more money to study why people with foul sexual habits get sick, we are somehow violating their civil rights.

A homosexual man has as much right to marry a woman as I do. So, it's not, in one sense, it's not uneven at all... I don't think the law should say that anybody's sexual choice, whatever their predilection is, should be honored or recognized by the state as an acceptable manifestation of our sexual impulses, because we're now dealing with minor attracted persons, right? MAPs. When you look at the LGBTQ plus community, I want to know what's underneath that plus. Who are we talking about there? Does it include pedophiles? Does it include people who are attracted to minors?
