William Thornycroft

William Thornycroft, (1927-2017) known as Bill, UK homosexual, and open defender of pedophilia, he was also a member of the Gay Rights Committee of the British Communist Party in the 1970s. He was a founder member of Campaign for Homosexual Equality (CHE) and an active member of the Brixton Gay Community Centre. His career demonstrates the close connections between homosexuality, pedophilia and the LGBT movement.

## Connections with Pedophilia[edit]

Thornycroft responded to attacks on PIE by saying that “The sexual freedom of children was needed” – which has indeed become the current approach for pedophiles pursuing their agenda. In September 1977 he wrote a letter to Gay News no 128 protesting about the prosecution of Gay News for giving a platform to PIE. "‘Squalid Level’ from Bill Thornycroft, London SE27: “The victims are not only the adults who realise they have sexual feelings for children but children at large. At present children suffer extreme oppression — any expression by children that is seen by adults (especially parents, teachers, police) as being sexual, is slapped down unmercifully.”" Gay News was thereafter forced to publicly repudiate affiliation with PIE, as a matter of expedience.[1]

He was active in the South London Gay Liberation Theatre Group, which challenged the absurd norms of heterosexual society, such as the “nuclear family” and put on productions such as “Gents” a celebration of how homosexuals use public toilets for obscene acts.[2][3][4] Thornycroft became a veteran member of the British “gay” movement and was treated as a VIP when he attended Gay Pride events. At the London World Pride 2012 he was interviewed for an LGBT website RUCO (Are You Coming Out) about his lifelong involvement with the LGBT movement. The article shows a photograph of him marching in the London Gay Pride event, but makes no mention of his involvement with PIE or his pedophile views.[2][3][4]

When Thornycroft died in 2017 he got a laudatory obituary in The Guardian that avoids mentioning his unsavoury activities. It says that Thornycroft was born in Sussex and went to Bedales, an expensive private school. [5]
