<ref>(NB ''Abusing the word boyfriend to mean sodomitical partner''). 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.

“The positive nature of some child-adult relations is not confined to non-Western cultures. Several of my friends – gay and straight, male and female – had sex with adults from the ages of 9 to 13. None feel they were abused. All say it was their conscious choice and gave them great joy. While it may be impossible to condone paedophilia, it is time society acknowledged the truth that not all sex involving children is unwanted, abusive and harmful,” said Tatchell. He did not name these "friends" but left himself open to speculation that he could be one of them.

In 1998, Tatchell wrote an obituary in ''The Independent'' for '''Ian Campbell Dunn''', co-founder and leader of PIE, describing him as a hero. Tatchell wrote “''IAN DUNN was a pioneer for lesbian and gay human rights, remaining a central figure in the battle for homosexual equality - in Scotland and internationally - for 30 years... In 1974, he and Derek Ogg convened the International Gay Rights Congress in Edinburgh - the first post-war conference of homosexual emancipation movements from around the world. This congress led to the formation of the International Lesbian & Gay Association (ILGA). Now a global federation of 400 gay rights groups in 60 countries, ILGA has played a pivotal role in getting gay equality.''”  Dunn was jailed in 1984 in the UK for his pedophile activities.

In 2000, Tatchell's pressure-group Outrage succeeded in forcing the UK government to reduce the age of consent for homosexuality from 18 to 16. This was never legalized by a parliamentary vote, but was ordered by the European Court of Human Rights, and then forced through parliament by dint of using Government special powers. When their victory was announced, Tatchell's Outrage group demonstrated displaying banners saying "16 is just a start". There are photographs proving this. <ref> https://enzaferreri.blogspot.com/2013/06/peter-tatchell-age-of-sexual-consent.html

In 2013, Tatchell carried out a similar disruption at a concert given by the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican Hall in London, conducted by the distinguished Russian musician Valery Gergiev. Tatchell and some henchmen strode onto the platform, unfurled a banner and delivered a vociferous denunciation of the Russian government's prohibition of obscene homosexual parades or homosexual propaganda to schoolchildren. He had to be removed by the police.<ref>https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/10432221/Russian-conductor-Valery-Gergiev-hits-back-in-anti-gay-row.html</ref>
