GAY TRUTH

One of the doctors who wrote a searing critique of the Australian Medical Association ’s Position Statement on changing the Marriage Act repeated his call for the AMA to retract the statement following an address by Australian Medical Association (AMA) President Dr Michael Gannon at the National Press Club today. The critique has now been signed by more than five hundred Australian doctors including 26 professors and six past AMA state presidents and can be found at critiqueAMA.com.

Seven central questions address:  (1) homogeneous sampling,  (2) absence of comparison groups,  (3) comparison group characteristics,  (4) contradictory data,  (5) the limited scope of children’s outcomes stu...

Pink : It's not what they say it is , which debuted on two hundred screens this weekend in the Cinemex chain of theaters, is the story of a homosexual couple who adopt a boy, inevitably exposing him to the chaos and confusion generated by their promiscuous lifestyle. The movie's uncompromising portrayal of the gay subculture has provoked protests from homosexual activists in Mexico , who have   asked government officials   to prohibit the showing of the film in the nation's theaters. The federal government's National Council for the Prevention of Discrimination initially refused to act but has now asked the secretary of governance to increase the movie's rating to a more restrictive one (it is currently accessible to those aged 15 and up). It al...
