GAY TRUTH

A paragraph about sex education in a resolution on the rights of children stalled debate in the General Assembly on Tuesday and forced a vote on the resolution, which has traditionally been adopted consensually. Europeans and Latin Americans sponsoring the resolution could not be swayed, and insisted throughout the weeks leading up to the vote that the resolution on children must contain a specific prescription for “comprehensive evidence-based education on human sexuality,” and no alternative would satisfy them. Delegations implored the sponsors of the resolution to show “sensitivity” and to recognize the lack of consensus to no avail as they tried to avert the vote altogether. The preferred terminology of the sponsors has been controversial at the General Assembly for over a decade, but has become even more controversial since the World Health Organization published controversial guidelines for Europe in 2010 it with an aggressive model of comprehensive sexuality educ...

The UN family planning agency ( UNFPA ) drifted further into controversial territory with a new report on HIV and sexually transmitted infections among men who have sex with men – and boys. UNFPA’s  report  implies that promiscuity and dangerous sexual practices are a pervasive part of the male homosexual experience, a charge that the Southern Poverty Law Center would label as “hate” if it came from a conservative Christian group. At the same time, the report ignores the fact that having multiple sexual partners, especially multiple concurrent partners, greatly raises the risk of infection. The advice it offers for changing sexual behavior is limited to using condoms and lubricants. UNFPA begins with a definition of MSM as “men who have sex with men,” and “should be understood to include young men, i.e. those in the age range 10–24 years.” While MSM is generally considered to be a behavior rather than an identity, UNFPA includes those “who experience sexual attract...

The World Health Organization issued a warning July 11 that despite all efforts the global HIV epidemic continues to severely impact men who have sex with men, as well as other "key populations " that include people in prison, people who inject drugs, sex workers , and people who identify as transgender. "Rates of HIV infection among men who have sex with men remain high almost everywhere and new prevention options are urgently needed." In the lead-up to the International AIDS Conference in Melbourne, Australia , which begins July 20, WHO released  new guidelines for prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care of key groups that are particularly vulnerable to the virus. "Rates of HIV infection among men who have sex with men remain high almost everywhere and new prevention options are urgently needed," the organization states in a news release. In a new tack towards trying to deal with the HIV epidemic, the WHO now for the first time "strong...

Above Gsteig, Swiss Alps (Photo credit: will_cyclist ) The Regional Council of Lombardy , which includes the city of Milan, has voted to approve a motion protecting “the natural family” and rejecting the imposition of “gender ideology” in schools. The Lombardy region is the most populated and economically prosperous in Italy . Motion 263 explicitly states that marriage is only between one man and one woman, establishes an annual celebration of the Day of the Natural Family for the region, and calls on the Regional Council to introduce the “Family Factor” as a criterion in determining taxes to “support active and passive income of Lombard families.” Simone Pillon, head of the National Council Of Families Forum, called the motion “a decisive and forceful move to tell the world that Italy is not following this dictatorship of the LGBT lobby.” “The fight against unfair discrimination cannot be translated into incitement to homosexuality,” Pillon said. “The text of the motion makes e...

Britain's biggest professional body for psychotherapists has told members it is unethical for them to attempt to ''convert'' gay people to being heterosexual , formalising a policy change long demanded by homosexual activists groups. The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy has written to its near-30,000 members about the new guidelines. The letter says the association ''opposes any psychological treatment such as 'reparative' or 'conversion' therapy which is based upon the assumption that homosexuality is a mental disorder , or based on the premise that the client/patient should change his/her sexuality''. It said it recognises the secular pro homosexual World Health Organisation policy which says such therapies may cause harm to health to those who demand their homsexuality be recognized and affirmed. The statement adhereing to the pro-homosexual postion ends: ''There is no scientific, rational or ethic...

July 5, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Brazilian psychologists are seeking to revoke the license of a therapist for publicly affirming her Christian beliefs on her online blog and twitter accounts, an action that the organization claims violates its code of ethics. Marisa Lobo, a psychologist and Evangelical who has published several popular works on psychological issues, sends Twitter messages to her thousands of followers under the title “ Christian Psychology,” and maintains a website with the same name. The Federal Council of Psychology (CFP), which has the power to regulate the activities of psychologists in Brazil, informed Lobo in February through its affiliate in the state of Paraná that she had 15 days to remove any indication of an association between her psychology practice and her religious beliefs from her website, or risk losing her license to practice. Marisa Lobo Lobo’s posts and tweets often conflict with the sexually libertine and left-wing ideology es...

Translated from the Portuguese original by Matthew Cullinan Hoffman July 5, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Marisa Lobo, a Brazilian psychologist who identifies publicly as a Christian , answers questions from pro-family activist Julio Severo about her struggle against Brazil’s leftist Federal Council of Psychology (CFP), which has forbidden her to publicly associate her Christianity with her identity as a psychologist, a ruling that has recently been condemned by the Religious Right and Liberty Committee of the Order of Attorneys of Brazil as unconstitutional. Marisa Lobo Lobo says that she was threatened with the loss of her license by the CFP in response to complaints from homosexual activists over her blog and Twitter posts condemning the “gay kit” that the Brazilian government tried to distribute to public school students in 2011, with the stated purpose of fighting “homophobia.” The kit’s explicit contents and positive portrayal of homosexual behavior provoked out...

June 15, 2012 (Zenit.org) – It could be said that the common enemy of the diet industry and the junk food industry is self-control . Information from the World Health Organization indicates that global obesity has doubled since 1980[1], which suggests that self-control is not winning the fight. Many tactics have been attempted to curb this trend, due to the heavy cost of obesity, both to the individual’s health and the society’s health care system. Educational programs have been implemented to teach children good habits early in life, taxes have been levied against foods deemed to be nutritionally lacking, and restrictions have been placed on where and how such foods can be accessed. A recent attempt to ban the sale of soft drinks larger than 16 ounces in New York City drew intense scrutiny, although it ultimately failed to pass into law. Meanwhile, popular diets lure people to join programs promising quick results “without dieting or exercise,” to quote a common slogan. While...
