GAY TRUTH

The Illinois House has passed a controversial bill requiring public school history textbooks to include “the roles and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in the history of this country and this state.”   Known as HB 246, the measure passed by a comfortable 60-42 margin, largely along party lines, with three Democrats joining Republicans in opposition to the proposed legislation. No Republicans voted in favor of the bill. The bill aims to amend the state’s textbook block grant program, mandating the purchase of textbooks that highlight the contributions of all groups protected under the Illinois Human Rights Act.      “There is nothing that prevents the teaching of the lives of historical figures including if they were known to have been homosexuals,” said Rep. Darren Bailey. “But forcing that information on five-year-olds and elementary school children is more of an effort of indoctrination than of learning history about individuals who accomplish

ROME , August 27, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Homosexuality is a result of an “acute lack of love in childhood, an affective immaturity, a net decline,” one homosexual writer has told the head of the Italian association of psychologists in a public letter. The man, who identifies himself online only as “ Elisha of the desert,” wrote an open letter ,  first published on Saturday on his blog , “ Eliseo del Deserto,” addressed to Giuseppe Luigi Palma, the president of the National Council of the Order of Psychologists. Elisha, a popular gay Italian blogger said that he believes the condition is not a mental illness but merely an “orientation” that can be changed.  Giuseppe Luigi Palma, the president of the National Council of the Order of Psychologists “Homosexuality is much less” than a mental illness, the writer said. “That’s why so many men in the were past homosexuals and are now happily hetero. Sexuality is an orientation, which you will know well, no? Think of compasse

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Even the researchers themselves have encouraged us to be careful of drawing quick conclusions on this issue because in the past researchers have reported genetic links to such mental disorders as schizophrenia and manic depression, only to have that link disappear when more data was compiled or the original data was re-analyzed. They give this warning in the LA Times in the article "Studies Strongly Link Genetics and Homosexuality ." So I would extend that caution as well and listen more carefully to the cautionary statements, the guarded statements that relate to conclusions that come from the scientists involved, as opposed to the less guarded and more aggressive political conclusions that those who are involved in political groups are stating. In the articles that I've read we see both the scientists' assertions and the political, sociological applications that som

Now, there is a myth that homosexuals are "born that way," and we are pounded with this idea so thoroughly that many people think that somebody, somewhere, must have proved it. In fact what evidence there is suggests that if there is a genetic component to homosexuality, an entire range of environmental influences are also involved. While there is no scientific research whatsoever that indicates that there is no such thing as a borderline child who could go either way. Those who claim that there is "no danger" and that homosexuals are born, not made, are simply stating their faith. The dark secret of homosexual society -- the one that dares not speak its name -- is how many homosexuals first entered into that world through a disturbing seduction or rape or molestation or abuse, and how many of them yearn to get out of the homosexual community and live normally. Whether genetic or other physiological determinants form the basis of sexual orientation is a highly

WASHINGTON,  – After losing at a lower court, a counseling student at a public university in Georgia who was threatened with expulsion because she express discomfort with counseling homosexuals, is pleading her case before an Appeals Court this week. A  legal complaint  filed on behalf of Jennifer Keeton accuses Augusta State University of placing Keeton on academic probation after she refused to comply with faculty instructions that she must, in their words, “alter her beliefs” on homosexuality and “gender identity.” The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF)  is representing  her.

Image by Fellowship of Reconciliation via Flickr Activists pushing for a " gay rights" political agenda have become increasingly aggressive in their attacks upon their opponents. They misunderstand (or misrepresent) the views of social conservatives , in part because of conflicting paradigms for understanding homosexuality . The "gay identity" paradigm includes the belief that being gay is an innate characteristic which cannot change. Yet the empirical case for the "gay identity" paradigm is weak-science has not found that homosexuality is determined by biological or genetic factors, and there is an abundance of evidence that sexual orientation can change. Of the three aspects of "sexual orientation"- attractions ,  conduct , and  self-identification -social conservatives view homosexual  conduct  as the most important, and thus operate from a "homosexual conduct" paradigm. We believe  homosexual conduct is harmful , and therefore

Image via Wikipedia This study found a higher prevalence of various psychiatric   disorders in homosexual people compared with heterosexual people,   both regarding the preceding 12 months as well as on a lifetime   basis. These differences seem to be gender specific with a higher   prevalence of substance use disorders in homosexual women and   a higher prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders in homosexual   men, both compared with their heterosexual counterparts. The interpretation of these findings requires consideration   of some potential limitations, which could have cumulatively   either inflated or deflated actual differences in prevalence   rates. 25  Among those people contacted, there could have been   a nonresponse related to homosexual behavior . Although nonresponse to specific questions was negligible owing to the computer-assisted   interviewing, subjects might have differed in their reporting   behavior. Compared with heterosexual men, homosexual men might   have be
