[1] Andriette was the Art-Director for the LGBT periodical Baltimore Outloud,[2] and was previously the Features Editor of The Guide, a gay travel and entertainment magazine published in Boston.

He expressed differences with some earlier NAMBLA directors' views regarding legalization of what is now considered to be statutory rape, finding room for compromise with government and societal concerns.

He expressed frustration that the LGBT rights movement had ostracized NAMBLA, because he regarded the moral condemnation of pedophiles as a "reactionary ideology which the gay movement has happily adopted to burnish its own particular identity category".

[1] During the 1993 International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) controversy, he defended NAMBLA's membership in ILGA, and to a greater extent NAMBLA's place in the gay rights movement, by claiming that "'the main tradition' of homosexuality" is consistent with supporting the abolition of laws prohibiting statutory rape.

[citation needed] He was interviewed by Daniel Tsang on KUCI radio on June 15, 1999.
