Activist behind LGBT guide for schools in Scotland convicted of child abuse – LifeSite

(LifeSiteNews) — The LGBT movement in Scotland has been rocked by yet another scandal. Last month, 39-year-old Andrew Easton was convicted at the Aberdeen Sheriff Court after being caught by cybercrime officers on an internet chat talking to someone Easton believed to be a 13-year-old boy. 

Easton referred to the boy as “baby boy” and was soliciting explicit photographs from him. He is now a convicted pedophile. He is also, as it turns out, an LGBT activist who co-authored a taxpayer-funded guide on coming out as transgender for children… as young as 13. According to the Daily Mail: 

Easton, who was convicted at Aberdeen Sheriff Court last month, helped to produce a guide for LGBT Youth Scotland (LGBTYS), which receives thousands of pounds from the Scottish Government and local authorities. He contributed to an early version of ‘coming out’ guidance issued by the controversial organisation, whose former chief executive James Rennie is serving life for sexually assaulting a baby boy. Schools, local authorities, the Care Inspectorate and government-run health and social care authorities have been given an updated version but LGTBYS admits the original guide, co-written by Easton, may still be in use.

Note well: two people associated with the guide on “coming out” have now been convicted of pedophilia. Educational psychologist Carolyn Brown told the Sunday Post that the guidance co-authored by Easton is “manipulative and influencing” and is packed with “misinformation.” According to the Sunday Post: 

LGBT Youth Scotland boast they have “trained” thousands of teachers over LGBT inclusivity. Schools, local authorities, the Care Inspectorate and government-run health and social care authorities made the guide available to children from the age of 13. LGBT Youth Scotland attempted to distance themselves from Easton, who demanded to be called “daddy” and used secure messaging to send messages to his schoolboy victim, and photographs of his private parts.

Easton, who hails from Kennethmont in Aberdeenshire, also distributed 32 videos of children between the ages of four and eight years old to other pedophiles (the photos were considered to be in the serious “category A”). For those crimes, he was sentenced to a paltry Community Payback Order, 200 hours of unpaid work, supervision for three years, and has been put on the sex offenders’ register – for only three years. 

As Tory Member of Scottish Parliament Meghan Gallacher stated: “This is a deeply disturbing situation. It is long overdue that we audit just how much money this organisation receives and seek assurances over what safeguarding assessments are in place.” The Scottish government responded by stating that “education authorities are responsible for ensuring visitors undergo disclosure checks and LGBTYS’s safeguarding policy is an operational matter for the organisation.”

Alba MSP Ash Regan concurred, stating: “Serious questions must be asked about why Scottish children’s educational guidance is being shaped by unqualified lobby groups that not only overreach their published remit but operate without any apparent oversight.” 

We know the answer to that, of course. In many countries, the sexual education of children has been outsourced to radical LGBT groups who create content designed to normalize virtually all sexual practices 

Our “sex education” is actually a calculated agenda of corruption in which the innocence of children is deliberately subverted, and they are introduced to a wide range of sex acts as well as gender ideology. Parents have been cut out of the process by the public schools; instead, groups like LGBT Youth Scotland have been given free access to tens of thousands of young minds.
