He must have missed this, rather significant, line:
“Such parallels between sexual interest in children, and same-sex attraction, have long been rejected by LGBTIQ+ organizations and communities, and such comparisons are generally agreed to be discriminatory against LGBTIQ+ people.”
Or this one from the conclusion:
“Controversies over academic use of the term MAPs have had a role to play within right-wing anti-LGBTIQ+ movements, including the claim that LGBTIQ+ people are “grooming” and sexualizing children (Shah, 2023). Such despicable accusations have been fueled by the confident assertions of some MAPs scholars that pedophiles are “queer” or otherwise belong under the LGBTIQ+ umbrella. The opportunistic right-wing capitalization on such claims illustrates the irresponsibility of academic parallels between pedophilia and same-sex attraction, which not only undermines and delegitimizes the project of sexual abuse prevention, but it is also feeding into politically extremist rhetoric against LGBTIQ+ people.“
