About the possibility of NAMBLA seeking him out
Now the books dont really matter to me at all anymore because the "crazy pedophile" having only 2 books dedicated to naked boys among his larger art book collection (books that were gifted to him nonetheless by a fan OR Nambla members and ones he didnt seek out)
But why would NAMBLA particular want Michael to get a hold of these books? Why did they have an interest in him? The books were gifted to him in the early 80s, but I can't recall Michael being that openly fixated on children and childhood before/up to that point.
There are some possibilities
- Michael and Tatum's relationship in the 70s. Not anything serious nor did they have sex but the age gap is striking to someone in mote recent times. But seeing how the tavloids talked about it i dont think their age gap was seen as necessarily pedophilic in the public's eye considering now one pointed it out as problematic.
- Michael and Emmanuel Lewis' relationship. Platonic friends and was shown in the public as such but NAMBLA may have looked at it another way. Still this was before his open innocent fixation on kids was prominent for a pattern to be noticed. Not writing it off entirely though
What do you all think? I'd love to discuss about this or to learn about/remind myself about certain info
