Original sentence: A small minority of the gay movement opposed ILGA's action as a witchhunt.ILGA then expelled NAMBLA from the organization, but still has not been able to get back consultative status.In the early 1990s, the International Lesbian and Gay Association had its UN ECOSOC consultative NGO status withdrawn after it was revealed it had links to NAMBLA.Many accused or convicted child molestors have been said to have been involved in the organisation, for example Rev.Paul Shanley, a Catholic priest from Boston accused of raping boys.The North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) is an organization of pedophiles who claim that sex between grown men and boys should be legal.The gay movement has been accused of having links to NAMBLA, especially by right-wing Christians, although the majority of gay rights organizations reject all these claims
Edited sentence: Because NAMBLA refused to limit their arguments to pederastic relationships only, that is with boys aged 12 and up, the organization was tarred by the right-wing Christians and the gay and lesbian community (one of the very few issues they agree on)as being a pedophile organization interested only in exploiting and raping children.The North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) is an organization of pederasts/pedophiles who argue that young people should be given the right to make decisions in their lives, including decisions about sex.The so called gay movement has been accused of having links to NAMBLA, especially by right-wing Christians, although the majority of them reject all these claims.This has proved to be an effective argument for all sides, except for pederasts and pedophiles
