I must disagree here. Acknowledging that I am very fortunate in these things, I am out to most of my friends, and those who do not accept me slowly fall out of my circle. I think that the time is coming when pedophiles will be accepted widely, and that the only to move that time closer is to be open about it, not to be afraid to tell our friends. I commend Remo for his forwardness, for it is the same way that I would deal with things if I was married and had kids and friends with kids. I would tell my friends with kids, because that is what is fair, whether what they think about pedophilia is correct or completely insane, it is only fair to tell your friends the truth.

I have always had a strict policy of telling any YG who I become close friends with that I am a pedophile so that she can make a fully informed decision about her friendship with me. I have lost a few friends this way, but I've gained a closeness with many others that I could never have had if I hadn't made myself vulnerable in that way.
