Over the summer, I was convicted of anti-gay hate speech. The most incredible thing about it was that I never set foot in Canada. The conviction happened while I was in Colorado. But the offense took place almost 15 years ago.
In the 1990s, a friend of mine announced that he was divorcing his wife because he had decided (after a couple of unhappy marriages) to pursue the gay lifestyle. My decision to support him was born out of ignorance. Not only was I harboring the illusion that there actually was such a thing as a gay gene. I was also ignorant of the fact that gays could be successfully cured through therapeutic efforts.
My decision to label my own verbal support of his lifestyle choice as “hate speech” makes sense only after one becomes educated about that lifestyle. According to the Centers for Disease Control, over 82% of all known sexually-transmitted HIV cases in 2006 were the result of male-to-male sexual contact. Moreover, gay and bisexual men account for over 60% of all syphilis cases.
Some will say that homophobia is the indirect cause of such numbers. They claim that fear of stigmatization keeps gays from seeking information before they become ill and from seeking medical help afterwards. But, clearly, that is not the case. In cultures where homosexuality is more accepted the numbers are worse. That is why I steadfastly maintain that supporting my friend’s decision to turn to the homosexual lifestyle was indeed an example of hate speech.
Most gays become angry when someone tells the truth about the health consequences of their lifestyle choice. The reason they get angry over the facts is because their conscience convicts them. When I came to realize that I helped make it easier for my friend to pursue his unhealthy lifestyle my conscience was convicted. I have regretted my verbal support of his decision ever since.
No sane person could ever posit that the act of rectal sodomy is safe, normal, or healthy. The rectum is a one-way street. It is a sewer meant for the expulsion of poison. Treating the rectum as a sex organ is damaging to the health – especially for the recipient of such abuse. That is why it is an act of hate, regardless of whether some choose to call it “love.”
But the gay lifestyle has never been about love. The average number of lifetime sex partners is four for a heterosexual, fifty for a homosexual. Monogamy is the norm (82%) among heterosexuals, and an aberration (2%) among homosexuals. This promiscuity is routed in the pairing of similar traits, which is an inevitable result in homosexual relationships.
It should go without saying that women have greater emotional needs than men, while men have greater physical needs than women. They need each other to balance one another out. And that is why when two men are together the physical aspects of the relationship spiral out of control to the point of compulsion. That is why estimates show that anywhere from 21-43% of homosexual males have had several hundred sex partners.
One study of white male homosexuals, published in the 1970s, showed that 43% of white males had sex with over 500 partners. Over one-quarter (28%) had sex with over 1000 partners. When these drives are unchecked they often go in dangerous directions. Although homosexual men are only about three percent of the population, they commit about one-third of all acts of child molestation.
Even pseudo-conservative Andrew Sullivan knows that homosexuality is about unbridled sexual pursuit rather than love. He openly claims that homosexuals need more than one sex partner and that heterosexual relationships are too restrictive. But he refuses to see succumbing to sexual temptation as a weakness. Instead, he calls it a sign of “honesty” and “flexibility.”
Andrew Sullivan thinks we should all become more like gays. In his calls for the majority to conform to the minority he reveals the fundamental narcissism that is at the core of the gay lifestyle. From Andrew Sullivan’s perspective, homosexuality is all about self-gratification.
But love, by definition, seeks the ultimate good of the loved one by forsaking all others. That is why we must steer our loved ones away from the homosexual lifestyle and suffer the slings and arrows of the true perpetrators of hate speech.

Mike Adams is good
Never heard it put that way. Excellent point.
It’s a free choice:
It is not overstated to say that the Torah’s prohibition of non-marital sex made the creation of Western civilization possible. Societies that did not place boundaries around sexuality were stymied in their development. The subsequent dominance of the Western world can largely be attributed to the sexual revolution initiated by Judaism, and later carried forward by Christianity.

Well the homosexual life style is normal to them, so they assume it should be for everyone else too
If it is a disorder, it can’t be a choice.
I’m no proponent of homosexuality, but this article describes dangers of unprotected, polygamous, irresponsible sex, not of homosexuality per se. One might infer the author would be okay with strictly monogamous, protected homosexual relations.
Clean or dirty, safe or unsafe, homosexuality is sexual disorientation. It’s not normal, and it’s philosophically problematic to support behavior that reinforces an abnormal condition. I don’t care if someone chooses to behave abnormally in private, but it would be dishonest of me to applaud and encourage it.
This is his. It doesn't make him a closeted homosexual.
It may not be a choice to be homosexual (we all have our temptations), but it most certainly is a choice to practice and give in to that lifestyle temptation.
Instilling paranoia about the rewards of living in civilization helps break down civilization, but the normalization of homosexuality will break down civilization much faster and more violently. Therefore, these risks must be ignored.
This is liberal logic, at least among the intellectual power stations of the movement. Few will admit it, though.
A disorder implies that the ability to make a choice has been compromised
If there is a cure and your refuse to take it you are choosing to remain disordered.
There is a cure. There are 10's of thousands of ex-homosexuals. Yet the 'gay' community shuns anyone seeking to be healthy. Why? because they choose to remain disordered.
If you speak out against abortion more than once, you are clearly obsessed and probably hiding the fact that you’ve had several abortions. ...Sir.
Me thinks ...I'd say you're in above your pay grade if this is the conclusion that thinking leads you to..
just sayin'
They were cured by making a better choice, not by treating the disorder. I don’t think they become “ex-homosexuals”. I just think they start making better choices in life.
I don’t believe in the “hard-wired” explanation of sexuality.
Well, apparently you, for one.
This is the first time you’ve read a column by Professor Adams, have you?
It looks that way.
A confusing report to say the least.
Rabble rouser.
If it is a disorder it should not be promoted as normal - but rather it should be discouraged and correctly defined.
I get that. However, I believe this "lifestyle" needs to be exposed (yep, pun intended) for what it is. We cannot allow it to be re-defined as 'love', 'marriage' and just as 'beautiful' a union as the male-female one created by God. It's not. God created us male and female, and stamped the proper physical union into our very bodies. It is Satan's lie that denies this truth.
This reminds me of the debate over life too. There we also recoil from what is truly going on - the murder of a human being. We can't display the gruesome pictures in polite society. We create similar false words like "choice" to avoid acknowledging the true evil going on.
Sorry for the rant. Carry on.
