Australia: Politician Eric Abetz denies suggesting gays can become straight

Image
Senator Eric Abetz has stated clearly that homosexuals can become straight, during a TV interview. Asked by Samantha Maiden on Sky News on Tuesday if, “do you personally believe that gays and lesbians can pull up their bootstraps and show a bit of discipline and become heterosexuals . Do you actually think they can stop being who they are in some way?,”  Senator Abetz said: “The reality is, and evidence has been given to Senate Committees , where people that have been in gay relationships have gone into heterosexual relationships and I believe that can happen courtesy of the evidence."  Senator is not talking specifically about a small number bi-sexual people who are driven by confusion and possibily lust, but those who have testified that they no longer are homosexual and return to heterosexuality. The media seems to have convinced itself this is not possible. The reason why, is because it undermines the whole homosexual equality marriage argument because it be...

Faulty Gay research

Image
A controversial new study argues that a host of research on gay, lesbian and bisexual teenagers could be based on faulty data because of confused teens and “jokesters” who later said they were straight. The report focuses on the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health , a survey that followed a nationally representative group of tens of thousands of teens into adulthood. Add Health, as it is known, is considered one of the most important sources of data on the lives of young people, including those who are gay, lesbian and bisexual. What caught the attention of Ritch Savin-Williams , a professor at Cornell University , was the fact that more than 70% of the teens who said they had ever had a “romantic attraction” to someone of the same sex later told researchers that they were straight. That struck Savin-Williams as odd, since teens usually come out of the closet, not the other way around, he said. In his analysis published last month in the Archives of Sexual Behavior , Savi...

70 percent of teens with ‘gay’ attraction later say they are exclusively heterosexual: study

Image
ITHACA, NY ,  - Questions are being raised about the validity of research on teenagers with same-sex attractions after a Cornell University professor found that more than 70 percent of teens who said they had ever had a same-sex “romantic attraction” later told researchers that they were unreservedly heterosexual . The study, published last month in the  Archives of Sexual Behavior , analyzed data from the  National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health , also known as Add Health, which conducted four waves of surveys on teens as they matured into adulthood from 1994 to 2008. Study author Ritch Savin-Williams , director of Cornell's Sex and Gender Lab, said that some of the "inconsistent" data may have been caused by confusion over the questions in Add Health, which could have led some teens to incorrectly say they were homosexuals. But Savin-Williams highlighted "the existence of mischievous adolescents who played a ‘jokester’ role" "In t...

Homosexual politician says Homosexual Attraction Therapy equals child abuse and we will remove your child

Image
Few people doubt that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie hopes to become president in 2016. Unfortunately for him, he may have just signed away any chance of that. On Monday, Christie signed A3371, a draconian piece of legislation that bars licensed therapists from helping children overcome unwanted same-sex attractions , behavior or identity. This law bans help for minors even when – as is so often the case – those same-sex attractions arise from childhood sexual abuse by the likes of a Jerry Sandusky . This law will prohibit minors and their parents from receiving counseling they desire and will force counselors to violate ethical codes because they will not be able to help clients reach their own counseling goals. This law would enslave children – whether abused or not – to a subjectively determined sexual identity that they reject. The connection between homosexual abuse and “gay identity” is undeniable. Consider this: Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevent...

Former president of APA says organization controlled by ‘gay rights’ movement

Image
June 6, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - A former president of the American Psychological Association (APA), who also introduced the motion to declassify homosexuality as a mental illness in 1975, says that the APA has been taken over by “ultraliberals” beholden to the “gay rights movement,” who refuse to allow an open debate on reparative therapy for homosexuality. Dr. Nicholas Cummings was President of the APA from 1979 to 1980, and also served as a member of the organization’s Council of Representatives . He served for years as Chief of Mental Health with the Kaiser-Permanente Health Maintenance Organization , and is the author of the book “Destructive Trends in Mental Health: The Well-Intentioned Path to Harm.” In an interview with representatives of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) in late April, Cummings said that the organization’s problems began with the rejection of the Leona Tyler Principle, which required that all public p...
