GAY TRUTH

Memorial tributes are pouring in for  Frank Worthen , a faithful Christian pioneer who formed the first “ex-gay” ministry the United States in 1973, the same year “gay” militants pressured the American Psychiatric Association into  “normalizing” homosexuality . Worthen’s motto for ministry was simple: “Freedom from homosexuality through Jesus Christ .” He passed away February 11 at age 87. Survivors include his wife of 32 years, Anita, and his stepson. Godly Legacy "A great man has gone to God 's great reward. Frank Worthen, who is considered to be the father of the ex-gay movement , went to be with his greatest love, Jesus, this morning," said  David Kyle Foster , a former homosexual and  ex-male prostitute  himself. Foster, as the founder of  Mastering Life Ministries  and  Pure Passion TV , is one of many Christians continuing Worthen’s legacy in reaching out to “sexually broken” people across the world. Worthen’s father died when he was just 13. He look

Español: Intercambio de anillos entre los novios (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Are people born “ gay ” or do they choose to be gay? The answer to both questions is no—although in many passionate debates generated by this topic, we are quick to dismiss objectivity. In reality, these questions provide a smoke screen to a much bigger problem that is pervasive in our society, in religious circles, politics, and clinical settings. The problem I speak of is the idea that homosexuality is an identity. The  Catechism of the Catholic Church   states that every individual must “acknowledge and accept his sexual  identity ” (no. 2333). This refers to the “physical, moral, and spiritual  difference  and  complementarity ” of both genders which are “oriented toward the goods of marriage and the flourishing of family life” ( Ibid. ). At the most basic level, our identity is rooted in the fact that we are created in the image and likeness of God —”Male and female He created them” (Gen. 1:27).

(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

uality  ,  Illinois  ,  Reparative Therapy  ,  Video SPRINGFIELD, IL , February 27, 2015 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Not only would Illinois legislators not be protecting children by enacting a ban on “conversion therapy,” they would be engaging in “a form of child abuse,” according to a man who left the homosexual lifestyle three decades ago. Stephen Black of the  Restored Hope Network  told the  Illinois Family Institute  that reparative therapy helps minors who struggle with unwanted same-sex attraction . While opponents have said that psychological counseling to reduce sexual attraction violates truth in advertising laws and borders on torture, Black described it as little more than “pastoral care for people who want to come out of homosexuality.” The  Conversion Therapy Prohibition Act  (H.B. 217),  introduced  by Democratic State Rep. Kelly Cassidy , would ban such therapy for minors, subjecting medical professionals to discipline by the licensing or medical review boar
