You make a good point.
I will note, however, that we already had a phase of pseudo-acceptance in the early 1970s, which did not last. Possibly there will be another such phase, but possibly that phase has already passed.
One point I consider important is that acknowledgement that sexual attraction to children can be a good thing is not the same thing as saying that there should be a sexual free for all. On the contrary, I think it would be a very bad thing if children tried on sexual partners as freely as they tried on new pairs of shoes.
As always, there is much to be said for balance - or as Aristotle would have said, we should try to find the golden mean. Heedless promiscuity and obsessive prudishness are both our enemies; just because we hate one does not mean that we should love the other.
