GAY TRUTH

The American Psychological Association says in its APA Handbook of Sexuality and Psychology   which it has declared “authoritative” [1a] that sexual and gender variations are not simply biologically determined. There are psychological causes [1b] such as childhood sexual abuse [1c,2] . One effect of childhood sexual abuse may be that the victim begins to experience same-sex attractions or behaviours. Is it more compassionate to help relieve these feelings or behaviours or to tell victims they have to live with them? A therapy ban requires the therapist to deny treatment to relieve the victim’s unwanted attractions and behaviours or the therapist will be criminalized. A variety of recognized psychological disorders can be treated only if they are heterosexual. More sexual attractions , romantic fantasies, or behaviours caused by sexual abuse include: • unwanted emotional and sexual ties to the abuser, desire to have sex with minors • the...

Brazilian activists and celebrities have condemned a court ruling that approves a "cure" for immoral homosexual people. Waldemar de Carvalho, a federal judge in the capital Brasilia , backed a psychologist who had her licence revoked for offering sound counselling to help homosexuals caught in their destructive lifestyle choices. Rozangela Justino is a Christian who has called homosexuality not only a sin but a sexual disease that leads to poor health outcomes, mental health issues because of the lifestyle choice and not because of stigma. Critics have called the ruling regressive and medically unsound. But critics object to anybody who challenges their chosen lifestyle.  Brazil 's Federal Council of Psychology under pressure from LGBTQ both within and outside - banned psychologists from offering treatments that claim to change people's sexuality in 1999. No help is given to homosexuals wanting to depart this broken sexualized lifestyle. Prominent pop star ...

Question: What should someone who has an ongoing, seemingly unchanged pattern of same-sex attraction do in obedience to Christ ? That Christian must, by the authority of Scripture and in obedience to the gospel, submit everything she is to Christ. For someone who has an ongoing, seemingly unchanged, and perhaps unchangeable (in this life) pattern of same-sex attraction, the call to holiness would appear, in most cases, to be a call to celibacy . In all cases, it would be a call to avoid sexual sin and any celebration of a sexual orientation that disobeys God and his Word. No escape from same-sex attraction may come. Thus, celibacy, honored by Christ himself and regarded by the apostle Paul , would appear to be the requirement of faithfulness and obedience. The Christian church has failed in not affirming the gift of celibacy. It has failed to show how the gift of celibacy reflects obedience to Christ and the glory of God.  The Christian church has also failed to...

WASHINGTON, D.C. , – In   a first-of-its-kind analysis , the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have concluded that one in two black men who are gay or bisexual will contract HIV. In an infographic released last week, one in six men who have sex with men ( MSM ) will contract HIV in their lifetimes, with half of black MSM likely to contract. Black men are the most likely racial and gender demographic to contract HIV, with a five-percent chance of contraction. White women are the least likely to contract the disease of the demographics examined – blacks, Hispanics, and whites of both genders – with one in 880 likely to contract. Women generally who inject drugs via needles were the second most likely demographic to contract HIV, behind MSM, with one in 23 likely to contract, while one in 36 men who inject drugs was likely to contract HIV. One in 241 heterosexual women was projected to contract HIV, and one in 473 heterosexual men. "As alarming as these lifetime risk ...
