I predict that within 5 years, writing or distributing this type of article will result in the person being charged with a "hate crime."

It already IS in much of the Western world.

And here's the proposed quote: "SB 638 will ensure that quality after-school programs are available for kids of all ages across California. If we pass it soon, hundreds of thousands more children will have safe places to go after school next fall."

Give them enough time and engaging in such writings will be defined as a psychological disorder. Where else are they headed with the use of the term "homo-PHOBIA".

In their book, they are sane and we are crazy. It's sort of Stalinist and Orwellian at the same time.

Okay. I have no problem with your position because you are not mixing the gospel of Jesus Christ with psychological concepts and lingo. It is obviously abnormal. I'm not sure it is a neurological disorder, but I don't care if people theorize on that. It bugs me when people say they are offering a Christian message but faith in Christ is insufficent. What you really need is faith in your therapist.

I have a family member who was in and out of mental hospitals for years over a drug problem. They often counseled with ideas about a higher power, God, and what have you. Nothing worked. While they failed, I suffered. Do you know what worked in the end? Repentance.

MACVSOG68, I only see you on the Homosexual Agenda threads. I wanted to make sure you didn't miss this one...

That's funny...when I mentioned "gay agenda" to him/her, he/she acted he/she had not a clue what I meant...even after I provided a list of items on the "gay agenda". Isn't it odd that someone who claims to not know about a "gay agenda" always pops up on the "gay agenda" threads??? I mean...what are the odds??? ;-)

Did anyone catch the premeire of "Dog Bites Man" Wednesday night on Comedy Central? You must see it to informatively discuss this subject ;)

In summary, the major findings of the Laumann Report are that homosexuality is not a stable trait and that it tends spontaneously to convert into heterosexuality as an individual gets older;

unless the behavior is reinforced...........which it is now.

The real crime has been the inability for those who wanted help/therapy to get it. Previously, there had been many who got the help and went on to marry and have happy families. Some of them have spoken out but they quickly get vilified and intimidated to be quiet.

I wonder if the problem isn't, to some extent, a hormonal imbalance?

After all, when they decide to do medical intervention for a sex change, for months before any surgery, they have a course of female hormones...which they continue for life?

Now, I wonder, if they were to give a man male hormones instead, might that bring his hormones into correct balance?

Might this not help in the cases where a man is obviously effeminate, perhaps due to an imbalance in hormones? In these cases, wouldn't they need more than counseling alone?

At any rate, if a person is distraught about their tendencies and WANT help - is it not criminal to refuse them?

Here is another where PC and falsehoods interfer with truth and women are dying because of it: breast cancer is not linked to abortion.

Homosexuality used to be classified as a psychiatric disorder but this was changed in 1973. The question is: why?

A rhetorical question that I've been asking for some time.

Any student of anatomy and physiology could debunk that liberal myth in five seconds--but, of course, the Left is the bastion of the educated, forward-thinking Americans (Funny how they can't shore up a majority at the ballot box!).

I appreciate that you've asked a good question on a thread like this. It depends on how we define "effeminate male." Is his body type effeminate or are we talking about behavior and/or mannerisms? Obviously, the former is more difficult to change as it is overwhelmingly genetic. The latter, however, can be corrected.

The problem with giving males testerone supplements to correct what are perceived to be feminine traits is, as with any drug or supplement capable of producing a noticable effect, side effects.

We have been so taken by homosexual propaganda and so-called feminism that perhaps redefining, or restating, manhood (and not "maleness") might correct much of the limp wristed, salon patronizing, drum circle attending nonsense that we see today.

Of course, I could be totally wrong.

It's more than just hormones. Homosexuality is linked with mental disorders like depression and so forth. Hormones may be part of the solution, but the whole solution involves therapy + drugs. And the therapy needs to begin by recognizing that homosexuality is a disorder.

This issue is close to my heart and I constantly pray that the APA and so forth will wake up to reality and begin fixing these broken lives. You are very right that the current culture vilifies those who seek help.

That is a good point. Psychology really took hold in the nineteenth century, so sometime during or after that. Of course, opinions about it have been held for as long as we know.

vilifies - and abandons.

They demand THEIR rights - but deny the choice/rights of those who desperately want help

[AFPhys]

Homosexuality is simply a gutless choice made by people afraid to talk to someone of the opposite sex.
