GAY TRUTH

Image via Wikipedia Lesbian gay couples need to note this research. Research at Montreal ’s Concordia University has shown that fathers who actively engage in raising their children make important contributions to their children’s cognitive abilities and behavioral functioning. The study carried out by Erin Pougnet, a PhD candidate in the Concordia University Department of Psychology , and associates, used data from the Concordia Longitudinal Risk Project, an intergenerational longitudinal data set collected in inner city areas of Montreal. “This topic is particularly relevant in Québec , a demographically and culturally unique province in which female lone parenthood is relatively common,” Pougnet explains in the preface to the report. According to recent Statistics Canada figures, 22 per cent of Quebec families are comprised of households where biological fathers are absent, compared to a national average of 13 per cent. “This pattern is related to socioeconomic disadvantages th

Why have gay activists instigated media attention over ex-gays and the husband of Presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann ? Apparently, Mr. Bachmann, who has a PhD in clinical psychology, operates several counseling centers which also offer services to homosexual clients seeking to overcome unwanted same-sex attractions.   But because even one ex-gay proves that homosexual behavior is not innate or immutable, the gay lobby’s fear of their former members results in false claims and attacks aimed at preventing homosexuals from exercising their right to self-determination.

The ex-gay community includes thousands of former homosexuals like myself who benefited from counseling.  We did not choose our homosexual feelings, but we did exercise our right to

Decrease of suicide risk with delay of self labeling By Neil E. Whitehead, PhD September 2005 Summary : Remafedi et al. state in a study of attempted suicide among gay and bisexual youth that the risk diminished by 80% per year. I show this is a misprint and should read “diminished to [bolding added] 80% each year” The paper under consideration is Remafedi, G, Farrow, JA, Deisher, RW, (1991) Risk factors for attempted suicide in gay and bisexual youth. Pediatrics 87:869-875. The 137 male subjects mostly lived in Minnesota and Washington states. In it the authors state (p74): For each year’s delay in bisexual or homosexual self-labeling, the odds of a suicide attempt diminished by 80%. This is a dramatic statistic, but immediately suspicious. The ages involved were 14-21. If he risk is taken as 100% at age 14, it would be 20% at age 15, 4% at age 16, 0.8% at age 17 and about 0.15% at age 18. After that anyone who self labeled as gay or bisexual would essentially never commit
