❌ False. Pedophiles are not rebranding themselves as MAPs ('Minor-Attracted Persons') to gain entry to the LGBT+ community, nor did they release an official “MAPs Pride Flag.”

” picked up on this alleged “MAPs Pride Flag” and reported that pedophiles were “rebranding” themselves as “Minor Attracted Persons” in an attempt to be accepted by the LGBT community:In a bid to gain acceptance, they have rebranded themselves as MAPs or “Minor Attracted Persons” and have gone so far to even create a rainbow “Pride” flag for Gay Pride, but Twitter user, Communist Fish, posted a picture back in June to warn children to stay away.

Pedophiles did not coin the term “minor attracted persons” to rebrand themselves in 2018 in order to gain entry to the LGBT community. Organizations such ashave been using the term “minor attracted persons” for years to refer to “adults who experience feelings of preferential sexual attraction to children or adolescents under the age of consent.”

We also found no evidence that this flag originated in earnest as a MAPs Pride Flag. We reached out to the “, who told us they had never heard of this pride flag: “We’re experts in treating MAPs who have zero desire to harm anyone but want support to deal with the stigma of being a pedophile, hebophile or ephebephile. MAPs encompass these 3 terms. None of the MAPs we know have talked about this [flag].

The inner stripes are yellow to represent childhood and general attraction to minors, regardless of their gender.Please feel free to use this flag and make icons out of it etc! Hope you enjoy
