My Hate Speech Conviction
Townhall.com ^ | September 8, 2010 | Mike Adams

Posted on 09/08/2010 9:43:35 AM PDT by Kaslin

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.

A lot of you are clearly missing the humorous points being made by Adams, whose writing is always a bit “tongue in cheek”. His reference to being convicted while not even being in Canada is a play on words using two meanings of the word “conviction”: conviction as with one’s conscience and conviction as in breaking the law. The reference to Canada is an aside remark since one can be convicted of hate speech in Canada for simply stating opposition to homosexuality.

Excellent article. What a coincidence that I ran across an article by Frank Turek just yesterday entitled “Legislating Morality: Why Everyone is Doing it.”
Well worth the read.

this article describes dangers of unprotected, polygamous, irresponsible sex, not of homosexuality per se.

That is the lifestyle of most homosexuals. Quiet, monogamous homosexuality is the myth.

There is a book called After the Ball. It is about homosexual propaganda. On page 49 it states to push that “Vast majority” of homosexuals do not engage in compulsive high-risk sex" when they do. On pages 64 to 67 is says: All sexual morality should be abolished.

A disorder implies that the ability to make a choice has been compromised

Depression is a mental disorder and yet people seek treatment for it.

Oh they most definitely are, Dr. Adams was waiting for a chance to get them out there for discussion. :)

Great article Dr. Adams!

I think his point is clear. 98 percent of them are not monogamous. He’s arguing that homosexuality is, by it’s nature, promiscuous.

That’s very true, and it’s a strong argument against the risky sexual behaviors promoted in the gay community, but it’s not a sufficient argument against homosexual sex itself. It doesn’t answer the question, “why is it immoral to have sex with a member of one’s own gender?” When heterosexuals fly from partner to partner, engaging in sodomy without protection, they get diseases, too.

That’s what bothers me about people who use disease as their chief argument against homosexuality. Their reasoning seems to suggest homosexuality would be acceptable if not for the diseases. Suppose, for the sake of argument, that the gay community finally got its act together and valued monogamy, commitment and safety, and the disease rate dropped as a result: would moral arguments about homosexuality become irrelevant? Or is there something inherent to homosexuality that makes it wrong, regardless of disease rate?

See #52. Is the behavior of the remaining 2% of homosexuals morally acceptable? They’re still engaging in homosexual acts, but they aren’t spreading diseases while doing so.

No, it’s not, and I don’t see Mike Adams arguing the same.

“why is it immoral to have sex with a member of one’s own gender?”

It is immoral because it is purely hedonistic. A same sex act is purely for self pleasure. When engaged in by a married couple, sex is for children and to bring the couple closer together. Homosexuality is also a mental disease.

When heterosexuals fly from partner to partner, engaging in sodomy without protection, they get diseases, too.

That's called deflection. And it doesn't work. The topic is the homosexual lifestyle and it in NO way compares to heterosexuals.

Their reasoning seems to suggest homosexuality would be acceptable if not for the diseases.

It is a mental illness. Mental illness is not healthy. Homosexuals lifespans are shortened by their sex practices.

Suppose, for the sake of argument, that the gay community finally got its act together and valued monogamy, commitment and safety,

The disease rate will not drop. Why can't you grasp that this is a mental illness. Do you know what a bug catcher is? A homosexual that tries to get Aids or as many diseases as possible. This is sick behavior born out of mental illness.

Because it goes against the character and nature of God.

Interesting article by Mike Adams on homosexuality that includes some statistics and fundamental points on the homosexual lifestyle. This information needs to be out there to counteract the push that has been going on since Prop 8 was beaten to death with a judges purse is on hold.

I wonder what the stats are for lesbians? I don't think that they are as bad, but beyond that I have no idea.
