Leaving homosexuality documentary

Image
Does sexuality change? How and why? Free to Love is a documentary that delves into the lives of four men in their search for sexual authenticity. In a world that promotes sexual freedom, except when it comes to those seeking to leave homosexuality, this eye-opening film explores the cultural, political, and personal contradictions that present obstacles to an overlooked segment of the population. It's a story of conflict, individuality, hope, and freedom.

It's Not 'Pray Away the Gay'

Image
Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, Jr. explains why reintegrative theory works, and conversion therapy doesn't. If there’s one thing that’s completely un-p.c., it’s conversion therapy. It tries to change a gay person’s sexual orientation. Several states have banned the practice for minors. California, Victoria Australia, and others want to ban it for adults as well, even when they want it. Its critics mock it as claiming to “pray away the gay.” All the big professional groups reject it. The American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics have all come out against it. So have the American Psychological Association, the National Association of School Psychologists, the American Psychoanalytic Association and the American Counseling Association. Even if a homosexual person wants to try to change, no mainline group wants him to try to help patients change this way. But there’s an alternative. Reintegrative Therapy™ does not seek to change a patient’s sexual preference. It ...

Pediatrician explains new transgender suicide study: ‘Not scientific fact’

Image
A new study is out that examines the risk of suicide among transgender teens. The results confirm a long pattern of data: Transgender teens attempt suicide more frequently than adolescents generally. Unfortunately, this data may be used to pressure parents to put their children through radical transition-affirming therapies. This would be a serious mistake. The new study assumes the unproven belief that all gender identities are equally healthy and fixed in all children and teens. This is an ideological premise touted by professional medical and psychiatric guilds, not scientific fact. The study also offers no proof that these radical therapies – puberty-blocking drugs, double mastectomies for girls, and so on – will prevent adolescents from attempting suicide. If anything, the findings of the survey reinforce the dire need for serious scientific research into the potential environmental causes of gender dysphoria and the risks – both physical and psychological – of medic...

Sesame Street writer says he modeled Bert and Ernie on his homosexual life

Image
A former Sesame Street writer set off controversy by admitting he based the characters of Muppet live-in buddies Bert and Ernie on his own homosexual relationship. Mark Saltzman wrote scripts and songs for Sesame Street from 1985 to 1998 and told Queerty* magazine Sunday he patterned Bert on his live-in long-term lover, film editor Arnold Glassman, and Ernie on himself. “That’s what I had in my life, a Bert & Ernie relationship. How could it not permeate?” Saltzman said. “So I don’t think I’d know how else to write them, but as a loving couple.” And the signals he sent were palpable, Saltzman conceded. “I remember one time that a column from The San Francisco Chronicle, a preschooler in the city turned to mom and asked ‘are Bert & Ernie lovers?’ And that, coming from a preschooler was fun,” he recollected. “And that got passed around, and everyone had their chuckle and went back to it. And I always felt that without a huge agenda, when I was writing Bert & Ernie, they we...

AAP Gender ideology - not science

Image
American Academy of Pediatrics’ new guidelines support gender change for kids - dangerous ideology not even science The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is urging parents to accept the preferred gender identity of their children without regard for the children’s actual biological sex. The progressive-leaning group published a policy statement Monday calling for “comprehensive” and “gender-affirming” health care for minors who do not identify with their birth sex. This includes “surgical intervention” and puberty-blocking hormones – both of which are controversial for being insufficiently proven and ultimately unhelpful to those suffering from gender confusion. The advance of gender ideology – the belief that a person has a “gender identity” that may or may not align with their biological sex – has the support of some in the medical community. And the results, other medical experts say, amount to an assault on children that is not based on science. Pubertal suppression, cros...

EU trying to force same-sex ‘marriage,’ Muslim migration onto Hungary

Image
The European Union is threatening sanctions against the largely-Christian nation of Hungary to force it to fall in line with liberal beliefs, including the supposed legitimacy of same-sex “marriage” and fictional right of Muslim migrants to walk into any country they wish. “The European Commission is using the tools we have, launching infringement procedures against countries that don't respect EU law.” I “am in harmony with today's decision,” Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission, reportedly said. It's an unprecedented move. The 28-state political and economic union’s parliament has never voted to slap sanctions like this on any of its member states until now. Two-thirds of the Members of the European Parliament have already backed the censure motion. In the European Parliament, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán called the threat of sanctions “blackmail.” “We will not support immigration and migrants against the better judgment o...

Gay journalist: LGBT media outlets use ‘fake news’ to advance movement

Image
Pro-LGBT media outlets and activists groups have been “emotionally manipulating and even entirely misleading LGBT people” with misleading or even entirely false reports of persecution by a "homophobic" government and culture, according to a recent column by Federalist contributor Chad Felix Greene. Greene, a self-described “conservative” who is himse, f homosexual, used his September 14 piece to highlight six stories that garnered significant traction in LGBT circles, but misrepresented their subject matter with unsupported claims, omitted details, and misplaced emphasis. His first example was legislation introduced in July by Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-SC, to forbid U.S. embassies from flying any flag other than the American flag, which outlets such as the Washington Blade characterized as specifically targeting rainbow “pride” banners. But as LifeSiteNews covered at the time , while some embassies promoting LGBT “pride” has been a source of controversy, the bill did not targe...

Former gay man: Christ’s cross has power to purge Church of homosexual corruption

Image
The time has come to look at homosexuality in the Church using a better lens. Lack of tolerance isn’t the problem. Affirmation of wrongly-ordered lives and trivialization of the Gospel, however, are, and they have served to diminish the meaning and power of the Cross of Christ, and the sublime beauty of His love for His Bride, the Church.  Our discussions about homosexuality have camouflaged the truth When it comes to discussions about the origins of same-sex attraction in people’s lives, only two possibilities are considered: Homosexuals are either ‘born that way,’ or we are that way because of some anomaly in our upbringing. The now firmly ensconced LGBT establishment has settled on ‘born that way’ because it allows gay activists to argue for constitutional protections based on an immutable characteristic, albeit a contrived one. It also allows homosexuals to endlessly portray themselves as victims. These are tactics, not truths, though they ‘feel’ like truth because they’ve ...

Apostate Uniting Church Australia perform gay marriage

Image
The chaos and confusion which are the inevitable products of the Sexual Revolution continue to expand and the challenges constantly proliferate. The LGBTQ+ revolution has long been the leading edge of the expanding chaos, and by now the genuinely revolutionary nature of the movement is fully apparent.  The normalization of the behaviors and relationships and identities included (for now) in the LGBTQ+ spectrum will require nothing less than turning the world upside down. This revolution requires a total redefinition of morality, cultural authority, personal identity, and more. The revolution requires a new vocabulary and a radically revised dictionary. Ultimately, the moral revolutionaries seek to redefine reality itself. And this revolution has no stopping point. The plus sign at the end of LGBTQ+ is a signal of more challenges sure to come. Now the Uniting Church in Australia has fallen into this trap.    But what is worse is the leader of the Uniting C...
