Original sentence: Currently both illegal and legal forms of pederasty are strongly condemned.In general usage and the news media, the term tends to be used as a synonym for pedophilia.The North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), was the most prominent public advocate for pedophilia and pederasty, which is why both terms are associated with pro-pedophile activism in the public mind, whatever their theoretical differences
