Ashman demanded to see evidence that sex or deviant relations between adults and children had ever done any harm, and denounced those who disapproved of pedophilia for “prejudice, ignorance and bigotry”. | + | On September 25 1976, Ashman wrote an angry letter to ''[[The Guardian]]'' newspaper complaining about the criticism of CHE for endorsing PIE and allowing it to campaign at its conference.

| − | In 1978, Ashman "was contacted by the Dutch gay rights group, COC, to discuss setting up an international gay rights association. It was agreed to hold a meeting in the margins of CHE’s annual conference in Coventry in August 1978. Activists from 14 countries attended. The group split into two working parties, one to formulate the broad aims of the organisation, chaired by the late Janherman Veenker of the Netherlands, the other, chaired by Peter, to set out how it would work and develop a list of political actions. It was typical of his quiet effectiveness that his working party emerged at the end of the day with a workable operating structure, and an extensive and concrete list of actions. The latter included far-seeing campaigns that were to become the standard fare of international advocacy work for LGBT rights in the next decades". | + | In 1978, Ashman "was contacted by the Dutch homosexual rights group, COC, to discuss setting up an international homosexual rights association.

| | COC NEDERLAND is a Dutch organization campaigning for pro-homosexual and pedophile legislation. COC originally stood for Cultuur en Ontspanningscentrum (Center for Culture and Leisure), which was intended as a “cover” name for its real purpose, which is to promote homosexuality and pedophilia. It is quite open about this, and working with other LGBT organizations it has succeeded in getting the age of consent in the Netherlands lowered to 12. This makes it very difficult for police to take action against the child prostitution business that flourishes in the Netherlands. COC gets public funding and is allowed to teach classes to children in schools, promoting homosexuality and encouraging underage sex. | | COC NEDERLAND is a Dutch organization campaigning for pro-homosexual and pedophile legislation.

| | COC has publicly stated: "The liberation of pedophilia must be viewed as a gay issue . . . [and that] ages of consent should therefore be abolished . . . by acknowledging the affinity between homosexuality and pedophilia, the COC has quite possible made it easier for homosexual adults to become more sensitive to the erotic desires of younger members of their sex, thereby broadening gay identity.” | | COC has publicly stated: "The liberation of pedophilia must be viewed as a gay issue . . .
