Forum libero

Ginsberg also spoke out in defense of the freedom of expression of NAMBLA. He saw that organization's right to exist as a civil liberties issue and joined to make a statement. According to Ginsberg in "Thoughts on NAMBLA" published in Deliberate Prose: "NAMBLA's a forum for reform of those laws on youthful sexuality which members deem oppressive, a discussion society not a sex club. I joined NAMBLA in defense of free speech." This was a controversial decision: many who supported his gay rights advocacy could not support this decision.

Ginsberg was labeled a pederast, and while there is much evidence in his poetry and his journals that Ginsberg (like his friend William S. Burroughs) loved beautiful teenage boys (see for example, "Sweet Boy Give Me Your Ass"), there are no indications that he ever had relations with underage persons. Ginsberg saw his attraction to youths as the celebration of the beauty and holiness of youth (a celebration of "lambs" or "angels"). As Camille Paglia put it, "Ginsberg's celebration of boy-love was pure and sinless." [1] Like much of his political activism, Ginsberg saw this as a demystification of a baseless taboo. In "Thoughts on NAMBLA" Ginsberg claims that this stigma on the sexuality of those under 18 exists only because America has an archaic and fear-ridden view of sexuality in general. He says that appreciation of youthful bodies and "the human form divine" has been a common theme throughout the history of culture, "from Rome's Vatican to Florence's Uffizi galleries to New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art."
