A professional organization for pediatricians has dispatched letters to thousands of school superintendents across the United States with a warning that promoting – or "affirming" – the homosexual lifestyle to young children can damage them.
The letter was sent just days ago by the American College of Pediatricians, a nonprofit organization funded by members and donors, to school superintendents that tells them plainly, "It is not the school's role to diagnose and attempt to treat any student's medical condition, and certainly not a school's role to 'affirm' a student's perceived personal sexual orientation."
Further, schools can create a "life of unnecessary pain and suffering" for a child when they reinforce a behavior chosen out of a child's "confusion."
"Even when motivated by noble intentions, schools can ironically play a detrimental role if they reinforce this disorder," said the letter, signed by Dr. Tom Benton, the organization's president.

“you can’t make someone gay or make someone straight. They’re going to be whatever they’re going to be. If, by adolescence, they identify as gay, then that’s that.”
Evidence suggests that’s not the case. People become gay when some older man decides to use them for their own purposes. Why do you think they are recruiting so hard?

There were 5 boys in our subdivision who engaged in gay sex when they were 12-14 years old, thanks to a gay man in the neighborhood. They did not feel traumatized, but enlightened, at the time. Three are still gay. Two are married with children, and wished the gay man was alive so they could bring charges against him. He died of AID’s. 3 out of 5 boys gay is high. Isn’t it 10% of population that are gay? This man ruined the lives of a lot of people.
Very interesting. Finally some common sense.
Homosexuals don’t reproduce...they recruit.
Sodomy is not a civil right.
“You can’t un-gay them, no matter what Pat Robertson and all the alumni of Exodus try to claim. All you can do is damage them and make them feel bad about themselves...”
Giving in to homosexual behavior trying to normalize it as moral and honorable is what is damaging. The consequences are way worse than “feeling bad about themselves.”
I personally know some un-gays. You are incorrect.
They have to want to change. But they can change.

Neither is picking your nose.
correct
The queers like to claim it's 10%, most reputable sources say 2%-4%.
Ephebophiles are attracted to post pubescent males which serves two purposes. First it satisfies the desires of the homosexuals prurient interest in youth and beauty and also provides a recruitment source. Since they can't naturally produce them they need to replenish the troops on a regular basis.
Interestingly, the media was really not interested in looking more closely at the homosexual aspect of the scandal since so many of their investigators,columnists,pundits,etc. are homosexuals they were quite happy to not mention the findings and put the whole scandal to bed. As long as the scandal might serve to destroy that creepy,old fashioned band of self righteous,judgmental weird old men in skirts who led by the Pope,who led the clergy,who led the lay people on a journey back to God in heaven no story was too absurd or too old to pursue.
Once it boomeranged they couldn't accomplish that objective and they dropped it. I am sure they knew this from the beginning but as long as they could get away with calling the abusers "pedophiles" no story was too inconsequential,too vanilla,too undocumented and/or too old to make headlines because everyone knows men who abuse small,innocent little ones are reprehensible. However, when it became clear that the next step in the expose' would spotlight the behaviors and m.o.'s of the perps,(priest or the neighborhood gay guys),tra-la-la off they went pursuing,or making new news.
Many Catholics wanted the entire story to be told and a few higher in hierarchy heads to roll. Alas,it was not to be,the homosexuals circled the wagons stopping the dialog in the MSM while at the same time protecting their brothers in sin from much deserved publicity.But that darn old Church just won't disappear,so figuring that most people don't remember too much after five/six years they're dragging out again,Pope Benedict is truly a threat because he is brilliant as well as holy and has a gift for delicately,interweaving faith and reason to bring us to t/Truth.
Thanks for the info. We need more of these type of studies. We need not expect the institutions of the left to tell the truth. Have they ever really on behavior science issues had any credibility. No. These same types would readily release prisoners, violent, rapists, and pedophiles if given the chance. They also in recent years have sent up trial balloons suggesting pedophilia may not be harmful. The media even took interest for a bit and then the backlash ended it quickly. The homosexual community and much of homosexual literature is filled to the brim with adulation of young males. Open homosexual Frank Lombard who was a Duke University professor who molested his little african american adopted son had a list on amazon filled to the brim with what is considered mainstream homosexual literature that is borderline child pornographic in nature.
It most certainly is!
You are totally wrong. You should educate yourself about the nature of homosexuality, for one; and second, you should stop trying to teach others lies.
Okay?
The Guttmacher Institute (has some connection with Planned Parenthood so you can imagine their agenda) did a study which found just under or around 2%.
That’s at any given time, there are many former homosexuals.

Good for the American College of Pediatricians. Good to see someone standing up to the homosexual agenda pushers and recruiters. Although I totally disagree that anyone can shove homosexual propaganda at children with "noble motives". Still, it's a start. Another reason why sending children to public school is child abuse.

Yes it is. And for some kids, it is perfectly normal if this preference lasts into their late teens or even early 20's. Every friendship does not have to be sexual. Over my lifetime, I've had friends of both genders who I simply enjoyed hanging out with. There were only 2 or 3 women which I ever considered as more than friends and I ended up marrying one of them.
Bravo!
Anyone can become an associate member of the ACP.
These men and women formed their organization to fight the American Academy of Pediatrics’ “social Eugenics.” The founding members included then-current members of the AAP Ethics committee and leaders who found the traditional family, life ethics, and healthy sexuality education being abandoned by their organization.
Take a look at their Mission, Core Principles, and opinions on the issues.
