Homosexual Marriage reduces teen suicide - fake news

Rainbow flag. Symbol of gay pride. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) A recent study in the journal  JAMA Pediatrics  has caused a lot of buzz in the press. It's more  fake news . The study claims to trace the “Association Between State Same-Sex Marriage Policies and Adolescent Suicide Attempts” among LGBT youth and is predictably being presented by the media as "proof" that gay 'marriage' saves lives. But like much of the  fake news  coverage this study has generated, the study itself leads people to a  fake conclusion : that somehow the enactment of same-sex 'marriage' results in reduced teen suicide attempts , especially for LGBT teens. In fact, the study proves nothing of the sort. Indeed, some data in the report suggest the opposite may be true in states that have had experience with same-sex marriage the longest. Here are some very clear statements:  The report states conclusions as if they are proven facts, but they are not. The authors adm

The great gay lie

This week, a major new report from the scholars Dr. Lawrence B. Mayer and Dr. Paul R. McHugh demonstrates how far our views on gay and transgender issues are shifting from scientific reality, as well as common sense.  The simple fact is that sexual orientation, while not necessarily chosen, is not genetically determined (for otherwise identical twins would share the same orientation which, we know, they do not). We aren’t merely “born that way.” The mystery of sexual desire has not yet been pierced by scientific knowledge. Even worse for the Left’s ideology, their research shows that we do not have any solid evidence of the mental-health benefits of hormonal or surgical gender reassignment for adults, much less for children.  But what really shocked me is that we have no evidence of the relative physical risks and benefits of these long-term powerful medical interventions. We are experimenting on our own children — and in the case of public schools now encouraging kids to

Under pressure, Catholic school pulls policy requiring students to identify by natural sex

The Rhode Island Catholic prep school that   faced social media backlash   for establishing a guideline against admitting transgender students has eliminated the policy. Mount Saint Charles Academy (MSC) in Woonsocket was the subject of criticism after the prohibition on enrolling students with gender dysphoria was discovered last week. The 2015-2016 edition of the school handbook had stated the school was “unable to make accommodations for transgender students. Therefore, MSC does not accept transgender students nor is MSC able to continue to enroll students who identify as transgender.” That link on the school website has been replaced with a PDF file identified as the 2016-2017   handbook , which has no reference to transgender students. The change was carried out by the Mount Saint Charles Board,   according   to golocalprov.com. LifeSiteNews inquired with Mount Saint Charles President Herve Richer for comment on the removal of the policy, but had not heard ba

The Safe Schools- LGBTI controversy

What is the Safe Schools’ All Of Us resource trying to achieve? The Safe Schools Coalition who is behind the All Of Us teaching resource, aims to create “safe and more inclusive” school environments for same sex attracted, intersex and gender diverse students. It is funded by the Federal Government. The All Of Us resource encourages students to be allies for their LGBTI peers. “A great ally does » Respect their friend’s confidentiality » Stand up for LGBTI students if they are being bullied » Have an open mind » Talk about relationships in a way that is inclusive of LGBTI people » Respect their friend’s decision to come out or not » Tries to only use the name, pronouns, and identity labels an LGBTI person asks them to.” “A great ally does not » Keep saying “that’s so gay” » Stereotype people » Assume their friends are only attracted to the opposite sex/gender » Deliberately use the wrong pronoun » Spread rumours » Talk behind their friend’s back » Stand by when LGBTI people ar
