GAY TRUTH

Mark Regnerus , associate professor of sociology at the University of Texas at Austin , responds to the Atlantic Monthly 's cover story on how redefining marriage will change marriage, arguing in the  Public Discourse  that "the sexual permissiveness of men will emerge a winner in the contest of ideas as same-sex marital norms begin to shape the larger institution of marriage ": "...Stacey notes this gatekeeping function as well in her ethnography of gay relationships in Los Angeles , quoting early gay activist and journalist Randy Shilts ’s remark that among gay men there was “no moderating role like that a woman plays in the heterosexual milieu.” Furthermore, Shilts, author of  And the Band Played On , asserted that “so much of the gay community’s sexuality . . . seemed more defined by gender than sexual orientation.” The Add Health data concur, revealing that the subject of monogamy and its discontents is not limited to gay men. Shilts described how “some

WASHINGTON, D.C. , April 15 ( C-FAM.org ) - Homosexual advocates seem obsessed by a social science study that goes against them. They say the research is unimportant -- and they can’t stop talking about it. Mark Regnerus A year ago Dr. Mark Regnerus of the University of Texas published a 15,000-person  study  showing that children do best in a household with their married mother and father. He further found that no other family structure works this well and by contrast often did worse. A tsunami of protest and personal attacks engulfed him. His university and the journal where he published his findings investigated the research and cleared him of any suspicion. Even so, the attacks on him and those who use his research continues. Dr. Susan Yoshihara, research director of C-FAM , used the Regnerus study before the legislature in Rhode Island and came under attack by political fact checkers who claim some of her testimony was false. Yoshihara countered the popular wisdom

March 22, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has come out with a policy statement throwing their full support behind homosexual ‘marriage,’ including full adoption and foster care rights. At the same time, another U.S.-based organization of pediatricians has responded with its own statement affirming that a marriage between a man and a woman is the best place for children. In its statement the AAP says that supporting gay "marriage" is “the best way to guarantee benefits and security for their children.” “Children thrive in families that are stable and that provide permanent security, and the way we do that is through marriage,” said Benjamin Siegel , MD, FAAP, chair of the AAP Committee on Psychosocial Aspects of Child and Family Health, and a co-author of the policy statement.  “The AAP believes there should be equal opportunity for every couple to access the economic stability and federal supports provided to married couples

Immoral Homosexual  Marriage (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The moral effects of pornography are, by now, well attested. The scourge of pornography has brought ruin and harm into the lives of millions of our friends and neighbors, destroying marriages , distorting sexuality, and poisoning minds. Even so, the pornography industrial complex continues to grow, representing one of the most lucrative segments of the Internet economy . For the most part, previous research into the effects of pornography has focused on the psychological and physiological effects of pornography exposure. Among males, exposure to pornography is associated with addictive behaviors traced to the release of chemicals in the brain, stimulating arousal and excitement. In the larger context, pornography is also associated with an exaggerated masculinity, negative attitudes toward women, and relational breakdowns due to unrealistic sexual expectations. Pornography reduces women to objects of sexual attraction a

Same Sex Marriage (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) WASHINGTON, D.C. , February 5, 2013, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – A new study soon to be published has found that men who watch the most online pornography are significantly more likely to support same-sex “marriage.” “Our study suggests that the more heterosexual men – especially less educated heterosexual men – watch pornography, the more supportive they become of same-sex marriage,” Indiana University Assistant Professor Paul Wright told  The Washington Examiner . A review of 500 men over six years found that “pornography consumption did prospectively predict support for same-sex marriage,” according to an  abstract  of the article, which is soon to be published in the journal  Communication Research . “Since a portion of individuals' sexual attitudes come from the media they consume, it makes sense that pornography viewers would have more positive attitudes towards same-sex marriage,” Wright said. “Pornography adopts an in

Kids need both a mom and a dad! The current controversy concerning marriage may be one of the biggest distractions in this election season. It is often categorized as a divisive “social issue.” Many Americans realize that the definition of marriage, the controversy about abortion and America’s support of Israel are huge spiritual and moral issues that will determine the kind of America we will create for the generations that follow us. Same-sex marriage advocates love to talk about the freedom to love and their own interpretation of “rights.” The truth is that none of us need a legal contract to love—we are all born with that freedom. Marriage is not really about the desires of adults. It should be about endorsing the kind of families that will be the best for kids and supporting those unions with public policies, even though other living arrangements may exist. The reason that legally defined marriage is important is because of children. It takes a mother and a father to conceive a

The University of Texas has launched a “ scientific misconduct ” investigation of UT sociologist Mark Regnerus, after he was accused by homosexual activists of “scientific misconduct” in  his recent study .  Regnerus’ study, published in the July issue of Social Science Research,  found  that children of homosexual parents have significantly more social and mental-health problems than children of heterosexual parents. The study  has been described  as a “gold standard” study, because of its use of a large, random sample, with responses coming from the children of opposite sex and same-sex parents. Previous studies on the subject of homosexual parenting have typically used small “convenience” samples, and have often relied on the responses of the parents, rather than the children. Professor Mark Regnerus The study raised a tremendous outcry from gay rights activists, including from Scott Rosensweig, or “Scott Rose”, a writer on LGBTQ issues for “The  New Civil Rights Mov

English: Campbell Newman. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Two studies released Sunday may act like brakes on popular social-science assertions that  gay parents  are the same as — or maybe better than — married, mother-father parents.  With the Queensland LNP ( Liberal National Party ) under Campbell Newman , being abused and challenged by homosexual advocates and the liberal newspapers supporting homosexual surrogacy, as they seek to reverse previously damaging Labor surrogacy laws , these two independent studies support the LNP position. It would appear the Andrew Robinson holds the best view in the Queensland Parliament. “The empirical claim that no notable differences exist must go,”  Mark Regnerus , a sociology professor at the  University of Texas at Austin , said in his study in  Social Science  Research. Using a new, “gold standard” data set of nearly 3,000 randomly selected American young adults,  Mr. Regnerus  looked at their lives on 40 measures of social, emotional and re
