The American Family Association, a certified hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, was busy earning that designation again today.
The original story published by Charisma News can be seen here.
According to the American Family Association, a shocking announcement made by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in its latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders caused an uproar among pro-family organizations and many others, as the APA states it now classifies pedophilia as a sexual orientation or preference instead of a disorder.

Charisma later reported that the AFA statement was inaccurate. There is now a disclaimer that:
The AFA cannot substantiate its research on this issue.
Of course, that is because they didn't do any.
The APA recently published its revised DSM V, the Diagnostic and Statisitcal Manual of Mental Disorders, but there was no change like the one described.
I am sure the AFA will raise some money on this and its followers will have one more reason to hate science, and I am sure that was the purpose.
