1. This book is neither a manifesto nor a set of demands, it is a plea for reasonableness and understanding.
2. While those militants who rant and rave against boylove are able to capture the public’s attention from time
3. to time with emotional appeals to blind hate and intolerance, this book attempts to reach out to intelligent
4. humanity with truth, facts, logic, and enlightenment. The only requirement to profitably read this book is an
5. open  and  inquiring  mind,  a  mind  that  is  capable  of  grasping  the  fact  that  the  generally  perceived  and
6. accepted wisdom is not always correct. But those with closed minds, those who do not wish to hear facts,
7. those whose bigotry and prejudices preclude any rational examination of an unpopular viewpoint, these will
8. not profit by what is said here.
