Or, maybe you're just in denial and too heavily invested in the pop culture ideology of all gays being more chaste than the virgin mary and incapable of evil?
Either way!
I would point out that NAMBLA didn't hide behind the LGBT community. It was the other way around & it happened in an era when sodomy was still technically illegal in many places and the gay rights movement was virtually non-existent. There was no gay rights movement to hide behind = what you're saying makes no sense.
