<ref>http://www.ipce.info/newsletters/e_22/2_16_Lee.htm</ref> Tatchell claims he has interviewed a 14-year-old boy named Lee who is quoted as saying that he is “having sex with” older guys and the only problem is that it’s illegal. Lee confesses that he has been involved in homosexual activity in toilets, parks and bushes since he was eight, has been used as a prostitute by men who sometimes tied him up and raped him, has taken drugs, but still thinks there is no problem and it should all be legalized. Tatchell maintains that his acquaintance with these fourteen-year-old rent boys is in a purely professional capacity, as an interviewer and researcher.

On June 26, 1997, Peter Tatchell wrote a letter to ''The Guardian'' newspaper defending a book that advocated pedophilia, ''Dares to Speak'' edited by Joseph Geraci, (who also edited the European pedophile magazine ''Paidika'') and published by the Gay Men’s Press. Tatchell wrote that the book was ‘courageous’. It documented ‘examples of societies where consenting inter-generational sex is considered normal’. He gave an example of a New Guinea tribe where ‘all young boys have sex with older warriors as part of their initiation into manhood’ and allegedly grow up to be ‘happy, well-adjusted husbands and fathers’. <ref> In the tribe described in this book, the men live apart from the women and have the minimal contact with them, regarding them as inferior and so disgusting even their smell must be avoided at all costs. The ethnic group is very small in numbers, and has remained extremely primitive, living at a stone-age level of civilization.</ref> Tatchell’s letter asserted that sex or sodomy between adults and children as young as nine was normal and did no harm.
