Born Gay: No way

Image
Image via Wikipedia God has created you to be heterosexual. Deep inside, He has planted a seed that is meant to be nurtured and fed by a healthy family and cultural environment so that at the right moment in your emotional development heterosexuality will blossom and become a natural part of your self-identity and self-expression. Unfortunately for some, damage is done to that dormant seed and it fails to germinate.  It never gets watered and fed with the elements necessary for a healthy emotional development. For others, the seed or emerging seedling is damaged by abuse.  What arises in its place during preadolescence is a false identity - an identity that has emerged to fill the void caused by the failure of the healthy seed to germinate. The person sets out on their own search for identity, trying to force the completion of their emotional self through willful acts - both social and sexual. The void of sexual self-identity that causes them to fix on their own gender for the h

The Genderless Child

Image
Image via Wikipedia A Toronto couple is raising their baby to be genderless , refusing to identify the child either as a boy or a girl, so that he or she can choose his or her own sexual identity .  The baby, named Storm, is now 4 months old.  This article explains how the parents are managing this:     Parents keep child’s gender secret – Parentcentral.ca . But I thought we were supposed to believe that sexual identity is  not  a choice, but rather an innate condition, that, in the words of Lady Gaga , “I was born this way.”  So it is a choice after all?  And nature must have  nothing  to do with it? This sounds like another form of child sacrifice to me.

Image via Wikipedia Students who report being gay or bisexual are more likely than heterosexual students to engage in unhealthy risk behaviors such as tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual risk behaviors, suicidal behaviors, and violence, according to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) . The study reported: “the prevalence among gay or lesbian students was higher than the prevalence among heterosexual students for a median of 63.8% of all the risk behaviors measured, and the prevalence among bisexual students was higher than the prevalence among heterosexual students for a median of 76.0% of all the risk behaviors measured.” Specifically, gay or lesbian students had higher rates for seven of the 10 health risk categories (behaviors that contribute to violence, behaviors related to attempted suicide, tobacco use, alcohol use, other drug use, sexual behaviors , and weight management). The study also found that only 1.3% of students self-ide

Confusing teens about their gender: the radical new French high school curriculum

Image
Image via Wikipedia As of next September, the new official French science curriculum will require all 11th grade students preparing the Baccalaureate – a majority of French teenagers – to study a number of themes more closely related to gender ideology and aggressive sex education than to nature studies. Two main headings, “Feminine- Masculine ” and “Taking charge of your sexual life together and responsibly,” make up about a third of the yearly curriculum for non-science students; they are also included in a wider program for science candidates. The program shamelessly promotes contraception, justifies abortion and defends homosexual activity . It also minimizes differences between men and women: “Anatomic and physiological differences, caused by the influence of sexual hormones, between the masculine and the feminine brain are no more important than differences between individuals of the same sex,” is one of the “concepts” 11th graders will be expected to have understood by the ti
