GAY TRUTH

By A. Dean Byrd, Ph.D, MBA, MPH Francis S. Collins, one of the world's leading scientists who works at the cutting edge of DNA research, concluded that "there is an inescapable component of heritability to many human behavioral traits." However, he adds, "for virtually none of them, is heredity ever close to predictive." In reviewing the heritability (i.e., the influence of genetic factors) on personality traits, Dr. Collins referenced the research of Bouchard and McGue for the estimated percentage of these traits that can be ascribed to heredity. The heritability estimates for personality traits were varied: General Cognitive Ability (50%), Extroversion (54%), Agreeableness (42%), Conscientiousness (49%), Neuroticism (48%), Openness (57%), Aggression (38%) and Traditionalism (54%). Such estimates of heritability are based upon unbiased, careful analyses of studies conducted with identical twins. The studies lead to the conclusion that heredity is important i...

SCIENTIFIC RESPONSE TO THE TRANSGENDER ADVOCATES Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for  Johns Hopkins Hospital  and its current Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, said that transgenderism is a “mental disorder” that merits treatment, that sex change is “biologically impossible,” and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder. He also reported on a new study showing that the suicide rate among transgendered people who had reassignment surgery is 20 times higher than the suicide rate among non-transgender people. Dr. McHugh further noted studies from Vanderbilt University and London’s Portman Clinic of children who had expressed transgender feelings but for whom, over time, 70%-80% “spontaneously lost those feelings.” While Hollywood, and major media such as Time magazine promote transgenderism as normal, said Dr. McHugh, these “policy makers and the media are d...

English: Gender symbols, sexual orientation: heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality. Česky: (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The first problem with the idea of conflating “ sexual orientation ” and race is the fact that homosexuality is undetectable apart from self-identification . Determining whether or not a person is black, indigenous Australian or Native American , or female usually involves no more than visual verification. However, should doubt remain, blood tests , genetics, or a quick trip up the family tree would suffice. Not so with homosexuality. There is no evidence that can confirm or deny a person's claims regarding sexual orientation. The homosexual community itself has made this identification even more complicated in an effort to distance itself from those whose same-sex behavior they find undesirable. They say pedophiles are not homosexuals!” This is the consistent refrain coming from the homosexual community, media, academia, and the psychological/medical es...

English: Gender symbols, sexual orientation: heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality. Česky: (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) One of the arguments offered by those in support of homosexuality is that homosexuality is an orientation that people are born with and it has the same moral value as the hair color someone has at birth.  The implication is that since they are said to be born gay, then it is normal and morally acceptable.  The media seems to support this idea, and it is a common position held to justify the behavior.  But there are two problems with this position. First of all, there are a plethora of studies with conflicting results and conclusions on both sides of the argument.  Nevertheless, we could quickly consider studies that deal with identical twins .  If genetics determines sexual orientation , then it should be manifested when studying twins who share the exact same genetic information .  However, that isn't the case.  Consid...

English: DIGNITY & RESPECT (2001) is a U.S. Army training guide on the homosexual conduct policy. PROBLEMS DEALT WITH: Homosexual conduct, evidence gathering and credible witnesses, admission of guilt, harassment, and additional army resources. This page deals with assessing what is credible information when someone is suspected of homosexuality. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) This objection is commonly raised in support of homosexuality.  Of course, what is normal is rarely ever defined but instead is bantered about and offered as a reason for justifying homosexual activity . First of all, "normal" is defined as . . . dictionary.reference.com "conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural." "approximately average in any psychological trait , as intelligence, personality, or emotional adjustment." b. free from any mental disorder ; sane. thefreedictionary.com " Conforming with, adhering to, or co...

The notion of the homosexual as a deeply disturbed deviant in need of treatment was the orthodoxy built on Biblical scripture which remains true but secularism has rejected this notion along all other forms of sexual restraint.  There is good reason to believe now, more than ever before, that many homosexuals can be successfully treated by psychotherapy, and we should encourage homosexuals to seek this help.[3] Such views about the origin of homosexual preferences have become part of political culture as well. When, in 1992, Vice-President Dan Quayle offered the view that homosexuality "is more of a choice than a biological situation.... It is a wrong choice,"[4] he merely reasserted the belief that homosexuality reflected psychological conditioning with little biological basis, and certainly without being influenced by a person's biological inheritance . And now we have the much publicized spectacle-- Time magazine has taken up the story in a dramatic feature entitl...

Are gays born that way? New research presented Thursday at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Chicago looks at this question. The findings were presented by Michael Bailey , a Northwestern University psychologist who has been sharply criticized by both conservatives and the LGBT community in the past for his research, writing and classes. He reported that his research shows, according to The Telegraph's science correspondent Sarah Knapton, that some gay men share certain genetic characteristics on a region of the X chromosome called Xq28. The study could not determine which genes in the Xq28 region seemed to have an impact on same-sex attraction . Those with this genetic signature had about a 40 percent of chance of identifying themselves as gay. Not all gay men have the genetic marker and not all those with the genetic marker are gay. This finding is consistent with prior research that also suggests genetics might play a role in same-sex attraction, bu...

LINCOLN, NE , August 22, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Charlie Rogers ’ story about crawling at 4 a.m. on a Monday morning – bound, bloodied, and baying – across the street to her neighbor’s house after being brutally attacked by three men seemed too horrific to be true. Yesterday, police in Lincoln, Nebraska , concluded it was just that. The 33-year-old lesbian, a former University of Nebraska women’s basketball star, arrived on the front door of her neighbor Linda Rappl’s house on July 22, with a story out of a horror movie. Three masked men had broken into her home, tied her up with plastic zip ties , carved a cross into her chest and anti-gay slurs into her arms and stomach, spray painted hateful words onto her walls, then tried to set her home on fire. “All I could see was a cut across her forehead and blood running down,” Rappl  said .  Rogers said the men held her down on her bed, cut her from her thighs to shins, then turned her over and sliced her from he...
