Australian Newspapers: Mental health risk of kids of homosexuals due to discrimination study suggests

Image
The Australian Medical journal posted the following study: The kids are OK: it is discrimination, not same-sex parents , that harms children. IS THIS THE COMPLETE PICTURE? Newspapers around Australia have promoted this Australian study. Their argument is stigma or discrimination harms kids of homosexual parents not homosexuality . It is call the -No Harm thesis. Newspapers have swallowed the article -verbatim. The study is a survey of all research done on homosexual families and children. The study says 'overall the consensus is there is no harm" - the only harm is discrimination. Therefore, those who object openly to homosexual marriage should be silent - because it causes mental health issues with children of homosexuals.  WHAT WASN'T SAID? This study acknowledges the NFSS research which came to a different conclusion. The reference list three critics, of the NFSS study. One paper doesnt address the NFSS and the other two critics are addresses by NFSS i

'No Harm' - kids of gays parents not true

Newspapers today quoted two Melbourne researchers in the middle of the gay marriage debate - discrimination or stigma effect the mental health of kids of gay parents not homosexuality.  Every newspaper than ran with the same story as a press release from the Australian medical Journal. Yet they ignore the biggest study ever performed that states the direct opposite.   In June 2012, the bimonthly peer-reviewed journal Social Science Research published an article by University of Texas sociologist Mark Regnerus titled, “ How different are the children of parents who have same-sex relationships? Findings from the New Family Structures Study. ” The answer to his title’s question was: quite a bit different, and most of the differences are not good. Within minutes, it seemed, Professor Regnerus, a gifted and highly productive scholar with two previous books published on related subjects, was denounced as “anti-gay,” attacked personally and professionally, and his thoughtful, me

True or False? Stigma not same-sex parents, harms children

Is this true? Discrimination, not same-sex parents, harms children.  Today , Australian newspapers stretched research to imply that stigma not gay parents harm kids. Newspapers used that line to blame "No" campaign for mental health degradation of children of homosexuals parents. What is the basis for journalists making this claim?  Medical Journal of Australia says: "13 specialists, who include Professor Frank Oberklaid from the Murdoch Children's Research Institute , and Associate Professor Michelle Telfer, from the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne said - "The research tells us that children and adolescents with same-sex parents are doing well, despite the discrimination (stigma) their families endure. This will not continue for long in the face of hostile debate. When damaging misrepresentations of the evidence circulate unchecked, the potential for stigmatising rhetoric to generate greater harm to this community increases."   Who

‘Christians are Nazis’: Australian churches vandalized as same-sex ‘marriage’ vote nears

“Crucify ‘No’ Voters,” “Bash Bigots,” “Christians are Nazis,” “Vote Yes.” Messages of violence against Christians or anyone who votes “No” in a national referendum about homosexuality and marriage in Australia is sprayed all over churches and buildings as the country nears the vote tally. “We all woke up to see the awful vandalization of our church,” Waverly Baptist Pastor David O’Brien, whose surburban Melbourne church was sprayed with “Crucify ‘No’ Voters,”  said . “It’s disappointing to see these things and it was a shock to all of us.” Australia’s same-sex “marriage” referendum, a simple mail-in survey with no legal authority, began last month and must be sent in by 6 p.m. November 7. The total tally will be made public November 15. The national debate over same-sex “marriage” has been marred by hate speech, both from individual haters of gays and by homosexual activists who seek to intimidate and instill fear enough to sway the vote their way. The violence is not

ABC reporter blame Pastors for Homosexual mental health

Once again, ABC Australia is blaming the church, but more precisely pastors for homosexual poor mental health. As usual the ABC spends time interviewing one Church leader who is bisexual from the Uniting church then another 'progressive' Baptist Pastor who disregards historical biblical interpretation on the sin of homosexuality and personally reinterprets homosexuality as a blessing of God .  The problem with the article written by Sarah Malik is that it shows little understanding of the scriptures, ignores the presence of a Godly conscience, misunderstands the power of sin even the existence of sin, the blindness of sin, the rebellion against God word and lastly the abandonment by God for homosexual behavior as outlined in Romans 1.  All of these actions, are identical to any person who sins intentionally or unintentionally against the will of God. The searing of the conscience comes first, the the withdrawal of God's restraint until God abandons them. This
