*Sigh* more of this religous based agenda shoved down our throat garbage.

It'd be quicker just to label homosexuals as witches so that you could burn them at the stake. . .

wow thanks for the post, I love statistics....

This one bears repeating.

Pedophilia is widespread among the homosexual community. Though homosexuals make up just two percent of the U.S. population, homosexuals commit 33 percent of the pedophilia crimes.

A well-researched piece.

Pity it's destined for the Memory Hole.

[Lijahsbubbe]

According to Centers for Disease Control interviews, 50% of male homosexuals had over 500 sexual partners, the first several hundred homosexual men diagnosed with AIDS had an average of l,100 lifetime partners. (Rotello, G. (1997). Sexual Ecology: AIDS and the Destiny of Gay men. NY: Dutton.)

Holy moly!

Ping to a very good article.

Wow! A great summary!

This is definitely one to reference. I'll update the database with this article before I forget...

Here's something I post occasionally. It comes with sources anybody can check, but the pro-homosexual folks here never seem interested in the sources... Imagine that:

Homosexuals, being around 2% (including bisexuals) of the population, account for a third of child molestations. Sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

There is absolutely no evidence homosexuality is genetic.

Excellent post. Haven't read all of it yet!

But I certainly like the Myth and Fact format!

[Salvation]

GLB HETERO

Suicidal Ideation 67.9% 29.0%
Suicide Attempt 32.1% 7.1%
Psychiatric disorders age 14 -21
Major depression 71.4% 38.2%
Generalized anxiety Disorder 28.5% 12.5%
Conduct disorder 32.1% 11.0%
Nicotine dependence 64.3% 26.7%
Other substance abuse/dependence 60.7% 44.3%
Multiple disorders 78.6% 38.2%

In other words at age 21 the GLB (Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual) portion of the cohort has significantly more problems in every category.


Especially startling facts!

Did you even read the article? Of course it is data interpreted by a certain perspective, but how else would you display the numbers? Oh well? Sucks to be them? Who cares? Put a little more thought into what you say or just skip the article.

Only if they weigh more than a duck.

This qualifies, I believe, as hate speech.

This is a very good review and contains literature that is hard to find even with much effort. Thank You.

In spite of its value, there are several points I would like to make. It is important to stress homosexuality is not an all or none phenomenon. Traditionally, male homosexuals were categorized in a simple fashion on two parameters. The first was whether their basic identification was masculine –in this instance the homosexual male would have a completely normal masculine interest and behavior pattern but would show preference for homosexual acts. The strongly identified male homosexual is often found in male occupations including athletics, military service, professions and so forth. There is another group of homosexuals who are more troubled and troubling –these individuals have a strong feminine identification – so much so they are often easily identified by the lay person with pejorative labels. Of course, these are two poles of the problem and most homosexuals probably are an admixture of the two.

There is another continuum that males fall on as well. This is easiest to understand assuming a continuum of 1-10 where 1 would be complete heterosexuality and 10 would be compete homosexuality. This means you would find most heterosexual men (but not all) towards 1-3 and homosexuals (but not all) 7-10. Do not dismiss this continuum completely out of hand. Freud felt the punishing statutes and laws regarding homosexuality were written by men to suppress or repress their own homoerotic desires. You might not agree with this as well, but IMHO this continuum theory has heuristic value in considering the possibility of change either by treatment or faith.

Finally, we should probably all be aware of God’s gifts. Sometimes he gives with one hand and takes away with another –Leonardo DeVinci is a good example. IMHO male homosexuals are over represented in many highly valuable creative and scientific endeavors. Also, finally, we have no real, final conclusions as to the etiology of homosexuality in spite of great effort to argue this or that theory.. It is a hard subject to come to grips with and we have been ill served by restricting psychological inquiry and investigation by postmodern, political efforts to declare homosexuality normal.
