The Manifesto of the Unapologetic MAP

There is no group in the western world more brutally and blatantly oppressed than MAPs. The problem is now so extreme that, shockingly, we see members of our community internalizing the most absurd of aspersions cast against us. Here you will find an unwaveringly proud and unapologetic manifesto intended as a reference point for aggressive pro-MAP activists.
There are no concessions made here. I don't believe that any consensual expression of sexuality is necessarily harmful, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. However, for advocacy purposes, I continue to recommend the Pro-Reform Framework I introduced last year, alongside the other proposals at the bottom of the manifesto.

I really liked the manifesto.
In the list of enemies of the MAP community, I would have included the case of Wikipedia, which is a rare example of explicit discrimination based on sexual orientation.
If I really had to find a criticism… I know it's a MAP manifesto, but it would also be nice to have a paragraph from the minor’s point of view — for any potential minor reading it — so as not to make it seem too one-sided.

I will add Wikipedia.
And I'll consider adding in a youth rights section, too.

I love it. I followed the link to the trolling article too. The main takeaway I had from that was to make the enemies angry (even if they have power over you and ban you); don't make them laugh. Oh, and being an open MAP is basically trolling anyway, so embrace being a troll.
I think what I did to Wikipedia that time (you would know) was a good troll!
Made them angry and offended. Didn't even get banned. The weakness is the lack of visibility, since it's just a talk page in the middle of nowhere.
