GAY TRUTH

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

Prior to the 19th century , most people understood male/male or female/female sexual intimacy from a  behavioral  point of view. Individuals who engaged in it were not thought to be  essentially  different from those who didn’t; but their  actions  were deemed to be sinful, or even criminal. In the 1800s, these ideas began to shift toward a consideration of the  nature  of the people involved. This continued on into the next century as an emphasis on individual sexuality emerged and proliferated. Sex was no longer viewed simply as an activity that people engaged in but as a real, central and indispensable dimension of the self. The word homosexuality itself was first used by a German psychologist in 1869 to describe a form

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

Once famously described as “the love that dares not speak its name,” homosexuality is now openly discussed and debated throughout American society. Homosexuality is now the most controversial issue of debate in American culture - and it is likely to stay that way for a long time.  Once famously described as “the love that dares not speak its name,” homosexuality is now openly discussed and debated throughout American society. Behind this discussion is an agenda, pushed and promoted by activists, who seek legitimization and social sanction for homosexual acts, relationships, and lifestyles. The push is on for homosexual “marriage,” the removal of all structures and laws considered oppressive to homosexuals, and the recognition of homosexuals, bisexuals, transsexuals, and others as “erotic minorities” deserving of special legal prot

Image via Wikipedia The drive for acceptance of homosexuality continues to be used as a bludgeon against believing Christians and others who stand up for traditional moral principles. They are called insensitive, haters, bigots, homophobes and much more.  Their basic rights are being increasingly denied and they are bullied into submission by the enforcers of the intolerant new sexual chaos. Those who are affirming and supporting homosexuality, or who are just plain cowardly about upholding the difficult truths about the issue, are actually betraying persons drawn to or involved in the lifestyle. Support for homosexuality is a serious, and in many cases inexcusable, betrayal of the real needs of persons with homosexual tendencies. Withholding the truth on this controversial issue reveals a lack of genuine concern for others. Those who speak out (with charity) about the harm and wrongness of homosexual activity are the true lovers of their brothers and sisters in need. It’s tough t
