Preferred term
North American Man/Boy Love Association
Definition
- The North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMLBA) was founded in New York on December 2, 1978, on the principle of supporting “the rights of all people to engage in consensual relations,” which in practice equates to the elimination of age-of-consent laws for sexual activity. The group formed at a time when concern was rising over child pornography and pedophilia, specifically as connected to homosexuality and made popular by individuals such as Anita Bryant.
