- throwanem 9y agoI don't see why it should be a matter of controversy to state that Anglin is to the cause of free speech advocacy as NAMBLA was to the early gay movement - only much more so, and deliberately besides. Of course, the early gay movement eventually had the good sense to jettison the pedophilia advocates who attempted to ride its coattails into public legitimacy.
