Verdict: False

There is no proof that anyone involved with the WEF stated this.

Fact Check:

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is an international think tank based in Geneva, Switzerland that states it’s mission is “improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic, and other leaders of society to shape global, regional, and industry agendas.” Despite being founded in 1971, it has come under fire in recent years and been the subject of many conspiracy theories. with Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk calling it an “unelected world government.”

A post on X claims that the WEF declared pedophilia to be a sexual orientation, and it should be represented in the LGBTQ+ acronym by adding a ‘P’ to it. The user that posted it has the handle “BGatesIsaPsycho” says in the text “they’re the part of the same Big Club & want to normalise it before the entire World finds out…..”

The post does not link to an actual article because it doesn’t exist. The image seen as proof of a news article stating the WEF’s decree was faked. (RELATED: No, Michelle Obama Using IVF To Give Birth Doesn’t Mean She Is Transgender)

There is no proof that the WEF has stated this or has any plans to. Their official website and social accounts say nothing about this, and a Google search turns up no results.

The article shown in the viral post is from is “The Village Voice,” a site known for fake news. This story was first fact-checked by USA Today.
