GAY TRUTH

Cheri DiNovo. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Ontario New Democratic MPP Cheri DiNovo was apparently so taken aback to be talking to a reporter who questioned her tyrannical bill to prevent teenagers getting psychotherapy for same-sex feelings, she abruptly hung up. Media coverage of DiNovo’s “Affirming Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Act” has been as soft as marshmallows melting over an open fire. So talking to a LifeSiteNews reporter was probably her first encounter with informed criticism. “What about a teenager who  wanted  treatment for same-sex attraction ?” I asked. “Would your bill prevent that?” “Absolutely,” responded DiNovo proudly. “Because it’s abusive. Every professional organization has acknowledged that it is, from the nurses, and doctors to psychiatrists and the psychologists.” “But those who do such therapy argue that her bill is a restriction on the freedom of choice and of conscience of teenagers who don’t want to have same-sex feelings,” I pers

Under heavy pressure from homosexual activists,  Psychology Today  magazine has banned all advertising for practitioners who offer services to help people rid themselves of unwanted same-sex attraction and develop healthy sexual desire for the opposite sex. The therapy, known as "sexual orientation change efforts” ( SOCE ), has been under fire by gay activists who assert it promotes the “dangerous” idea that sexual preference is a choice, not an inborn trait.  So far, three states and the District of Columbia have been persuaded to ban the practice outright for minors, and gay activists are working to convince additional states and the federal government to do the same. In the meantime, the homosexual advocacy group HRC ( Human Rights Campaign ) has been pressuring  Psychology Today , which lists tens of thousands of therapists in its directory, to bar SOCE practitioners from advertising their services there.  “By offering a venue for these medically-debunked practices

Australia, April 30, 2014 – A radical feminist gender theorist is making the case that  transgenderism  is a “hugely harmful phenomenon” – but not for the reasons you might expect. The American Psychiatric Association   classifies  gender dysphoria – defined as “a marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and assigned gender” – as a mental illness , and  studies show  41 percent of people who suffer from it will attempt suicide at some point in their lives. Many people who suffer from the disorder have their bodies mutilated by surgeons in an attempt to look more like the opposite sex, and  substance abuse  and  risky behaviors  are rampant. Sheila Jeffreys However, in her new book  Gender Hurts , Sheila Jeffreys, a professor of sexual politics at the University of Melbourne , argues that transgenderism is damaging not because it is a devastating mental illness – although she admits the condition “is invariably born of severe psychological distress” – bu

Gay Couple with child (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Especially distressing to some people was what they viewed as my abandoning Mark Regnerus, the Texas sociologist who was thoroughly defamed in a court decision written by an obviously unprofessional and biased judge. Let me clarify and respond here: First, Mark Regnerus's work was exceedingly important and I do not endorse, nor do I deem acceptable, the attacks on him by people who have engaged in widespread academic negligence. Mark Regnerus, along wtih Loren Marks and Douglas Allen, played an important role in debunking a false and dangerous "consensus" that had been thrown around by gay rights advocates for twenty years. As I stated three months ago in this post , the legal arguments based on a "consensus" about same-sex parenting put forward by groups like the American Sociological Association and the American Psychiatric Association are critically deficient. The studies they cite do not meet the basic sta

School officials are being increasingly pressured by pro-homosexual organizations to integrate homosexual education into school curricula. These organizations recommend promoting homosexuality as a normal, immutable trait that should be validated during childhood, as early as kindergarten. These organizations also condemn all efforts to provide treatment to gender confused students, advocating instead the creation of student groups that affirm homosexual attractions and behaviors. One of the most coordinated efforts to convince school officials to embrace this position was launched by a coalition of 13 organizations which produced a brochure entitled, Just the Facts about Sexual Orientation and Youth . This coalition, which includes the American Academy of Pediatrics , American Psychiatric Association, and the National Education Association , mailed the brochure in January 2008 to all 16,000 public school superintendents in the United States .  The purpose of the brochure is to:

The homosexualist movement lobbied hard in the late sixties, at the height of the sexual revolution , to have homosexuality removed from psychiatric diagnostic manuals. This goal was accomplished in 1973, when the  American Psychiatric Association  (APA) became the first to remove it from the  Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders  (DSM-II). Since then, activists in the movement have used their success to good effect in many jurisdictions. Colegas a gay zealot group made  a similar threat  against Professor Gloria Maria Tomas of the Catholic  University of Murcia , who told a conference audience that homosexuality is “intrinsically disordered” and that it was only removed from the lists of psychological pathologies after political pressure from gay lobbyists.  Related articles Psychiatrists From Another Dimension (Part 1) (blogs.discovermagazine.com) Meet the DSM: Big Pharma's Psychiatric Bible (cchrint.org) How the Feds Plan to Use the APA, NSA and

ROME, – Archbishop Fernando Sebastián Aguilar is under fire from a Spanish homosexualist group who have launched legal action against him for comments that it is “not an insult” to say that homosexuality is a psychological disorder. The Archbishop, a retired theologian who was recently named as one of Pope Francis’ new batch of cardinals-elect, was blasted by the international press when he  told a Spanish newspaper  last week, “ Homosexuality is a defective manner of expressing sexuality, because [sex] has a structure and a purpose, which is procreation.” Cardinal -elect Fernando Sebastián Aguilar with Pope Francis “A homosexual who can’t achieve procreation is failing,” he said. “Our bodies have many defects. I have high blood pressure, a defect I have to try and correct in whatever way I can.” “To say that homosexuality is a defect is not an insult,” he added. “It helps because in many cases of homosexuality it is possible to recover and become normal with the right t
