Is This Gay Behavior Sick?
Too Good Reports ^ | November 21, 2001 | Henry Makow Ph.D.

Posted on 11/21/2001 6:50:27 AM PST by Stand Watch Listen

Imagine that an organism is sick. Imagine that the sick cells convince the organism that they were healthy, and in fact, the healthy cells are sick. The gullible organism would just get sicker and sicker.

This is the relationship between society and homosexuals today. Gays argue that same-sex behavior is no different than being left-handed. On the other hand, they say heterosexual behavior is not natural, but socially conditioned and “oppressive.” Heterosexual society and family are being ravaged. Our stupid, opportunistic and craven leaders have betrayed us. We don´t even know we are at war.

Let´s decide whom, in fact, is sick.

Let´s look at gay behavior as defined by two gays, Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen Ph.D., authors of After the Ball: How America will Conquer its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the 90´s(1989).

In Chapter Six, they outline “ten categories of misbehavior,” drawn from their own experiences, wide reading and thousands of hours of conversation with hundreds of other gays. Their contention is that the gay lifestyle, not gay sexuality mind you, “is the pits.” They want gays to improve their image by addressing “what is wrong with a lot of gays.” (276)

What follows are some highlights. As you read this, ask yourself if there is another human community, including the Mafia that could make these generalizations about itself. Ask yourself if we haven´t caught this disease, or at least the sniffles.

•  The authors say “a surprisingly high percentage” of pathological liars and con men are gay. This results from a natural habit of self-concealment, and leads to a stubborn self-deception about one´s own gayness and its implications.

•  They say gays tend to reject all forms of morality and value judgments. Gay morality boils down to “If it feels good, I´ll do it!” If a gay feels like seducing a trusted friend´s lover, he´ll do it, justifying it as an act of “sexual freedom” and the friend be damned.

•  They say gays suffer from a “narcissistic” personality disorder and they give this clinical description: “pathological self absorption, a need for constant attention and admiration, lack of empathy or concern for others, quickly bored, shallow, interested in fads, seductive, overemphasis on appearance, superficially charming, promiscuous, exploitative, preoccupied with remaining youthful, relationships alternate between over idealization and devaluation.”

•  As an example of this narcissism, the authors say “a very sizable proportion of gay men” who have been diagnosed HIV positive continue to have unprotected sex.

•  They say the majority of gays are extremely promiscuous and self-indulgent. They must continuously up the ante to achieve arousal. This begins with alcohol and drugs and includes such “forbidden” aspects of sex as wallowing in filth (fetishism and coprophilia) and sadomasochism, which involves violence.

•  They say many gays indulge in sex in public bathrooms and think it is antigay harassment when it is stopped. Many think they have a right to importune straight males, including children.

•  Many gays are “single minded sexual predators” fixated on youth and physical beauty alone. When it comes to the old or ugly, gays are “the real queerbashers.” Disillusioned themselves, they are cynical about love.

•  “Relationships between gay men don´t usually last very long.” They quickly tire of their partners and fall victim to temptation. The “cheating ratio of ‘married´ gay males, given enough time, approaches 100%.”

•  Even friendships are based on the sexual test and hard to sustain. Unattractive gay men find it nearly impossible to find a friend, let alone a lover.

•  The authors say gays tend to deny reality in various ways: wishful thinking, paranoia, illogic, emotionalism and embracing crackpot ideas.

Is there any doubt that this behavior is sick? I feel no malice toward gays. I feel the same way about people who have the flu. I want them to get better and I don´t want it to spread.

Unfortunately, even the authors of this book are deceiving themselves. They claim that it is the gay lifestyle and NOT gay sexuality that is “the pits.” Who are they kidding? The two are inseparable.

The authors of this book are public relations experts who believe that “our problem is fundamentally one of bad image with straights.” The book details “a comprehensive public-relations campaign that should go a long way towards sanitizing our very unsanitary image:”

“Desensitization”: flooding straight America with advertising presenting gays in the “least offensive manner possible.”

“Jamming”: Advertising that equates fear of gays with hatred of Jews, Blacks and women.

“Conversion”: Presenting images of gays that look like regular folks. “The image must be the icon of normality.”

They say “it makes no difference that the ads are lies” because “we are using them to…counter negative stereotypes that are every bit as much lies.”

This book was written in 1989 and obviously a campaign similar to this has taken effect. Read what the authors say about it:

“By Conversion, we mean something far more profoundly threatening to the American Way of Life [than subversion] …We mean conversion of the average American´s emotions, mind, and will, through a planned psychological attack, in the form of propaganda fed to the nation via the media. We mean…to turn their hatred into warm regard whether they like it or not.” (153)

Thus gays want Americans to learn that something they naturally and justifiably regard as sick, is in fact healthy. Thus Americans will be defenseless to resist their importunities whether in parks, barracks, bathrooms or classrooms.

It is a measure of the authors´ cynicism and self-deception that THEY quote psychologist M. Scott Peck, who in People of the Lie characterizes people who suffer from “malignant” narcissism simply as “evil.”

Evil people, Peck says, have “an unshakable will to be right and will not consider the possibility that they are wrong…Their main weapon, interestingly enough is the lie with which they distort reality to look good to themselves, and to confuse others.” (297)

Gays can continue to fool themselves. But let us not. Some of these people are evil. Their behavior is sick. And it´s contagious.

Just about every reputable psychologist in the world disagrees with the assumption that homosexuality is a perversion.

Maybe YOU need to look at the facts. Up until the mid 1960's homosexuality WAS listed as a sickness, a perversion of a deviant mind. It was a "scientific book" by a known homosexual and pediphiliac that was pushed by the pro-homosexual crowd that browbeat the APA into removing it from the list of abnormal behavior.

My point is that just because the APA (which recently published a paper claiming that pediphelia was not harmful to children and was in fact, GOOD for them) says it is so, doesn't mean it is true.

Just because you call it a giraffe doesn't turn a horse into a giraffe.

Something that's the opposite of fun is misery....

No it isn't. When someone isn't having fun, that doesn't mean they are miserable. It doesn't mean they are even sad. It means, more closely, that they are serious.

What does "sacred" mean to you? What do you mean when you use that word?

When I say something is "sacred," I mean that it is worthy of serious thought, reflection and contemplation; that it is something not to be "sniffed" at or dismissed easily. The sacred evokes a serious emotion within one; it is something that has deep meaning and value; something that one values for its own sake. The sacred evokes a powerful serious emotion and I just can't see where "fun" enters into it.

I think the text of Leviticus 20:13 is sufficently clear and would be good form.
I'll have to check into getting this on my state's ballot.

"By the way, what exactly does the Bible say about homosexuality? It calls it an abomination."

Such a classic and correct response that I thought it should be posted again. Thanks for your eloquent response.

I'm unfamiliar with the Bible. Could you sum this?

Homosexuality very well may be nature's way of stopping defective genes from being passed on. Normalizing the perversion would be a grave mistake.

Wait. If it's nature's way of stopping defective genes from being passed on, that's a good thing, no? It might also be nature's way of keeping some people childless so the community is not overburdened with children. In either case, how is normalizing it a bad thing if nature is using it as a tool to "advance" the species?

Methinks Mr. Jim should ban anything from the Too Good Reports, just as he did with the Spotlight. Way too much uninformed, biased crap spewing from that rag!

That's a mighty private and arbitrary definition. If I wanted to be rude, I'd call it mush.

Most dictionaries will tell you the word's most often used in connection with the divine, and most especially with places, things, and acts set apart, reserved for the service, use, or worship of a god.

I happen to believe that human intercourse is sacred because it's reserved for the transmission of life, in the context of a marital union, an act of cooperation with God's creation (the fact that this sacred reservation is often violated doesn't vitiate it). And yes, it's frequently great fun.

If the hypothesis is correct, normalizing it would expand the behavior, causing healthy specimens to be destroyed as well.

The fact that it's ticking off the pro-homo cheerleaders is an excellent argument for keeping it though! ;-)

Oh here's a handy link to a book and chapter index of the King James Bible. Just find Leviticus and click on the number 20. The quote you are looking for is on line 13. Thus Leviticus 20:13. Don't be afraid to continue reading. Oh and if you have sound, if you click on the speaker symbol, God will talk directly to you. :-) *just kidding*

Things "sacred" are too important to be limited by a concept of a deity. "Sacred" has great meaning to both theist and atheist.

...places, things, and acts set apart, reserved for the service, use, or worship of a god.

So, you would find a Taliban holy place used to worship god sacred? Let me guess that you wouldn't. Not because it is not a place to worship a god, since it is. But because it has no value for you, it evokes no emotion of serious contemplation.

The fact that something is set up to worship a god IN NO WAY makes it sacred to you, unless that particular place evokes in you a sense of value and seriousness which I described in my post.

And you think that intercourse is a way to worship god? That's what can make it sacred?

Destroyed? Where did that come from? You said that it could be a way to prevent unhealthy genes from reproducing. Not destroyed...just not reproduced. And so what? Do you have a personal worry that this may happen to you? I don't think so. Do you seriously think that 90% of the population will suddenly be attracted to members of their own sex should this be "normalized?"

Especially crap from Makow.

From an Amazon.com review of his book A Long Way to Go for a Date:

"The story comes unwound by the second half of the book. Makow, after convincing the reader of the legitimacy of his mission, comes off as particularly unlikable as he continuously bullies and manipulates his 18 year old fiancee/wife in petty arguments. He is chauvinistic to a fault. When she herself proves to be just as selfish and immature, one can hardly blame her. After all, she has the excuse of being a teenager. For all his advantage of wealth, age, and education, Makow is eventually subdued and humiliated by his child-bride.

This is unfortunate. It is a simple fact that thousands of Western men like myself have found true fulfillment in romance and marriage with Asian women through experiencing the beauty and synchronicity of cross-cultural romance. The author foolishly marries an immature teenager yet seems genuinely upset with her when she begins acting like one. Makow's book, though at times insightful, reveals him to be a poor specimen of Western male and a poor spokesperson for those of us who have found real love and fulfillment in a foreign land. "

I hope you don't mean to suggest that it is not deviant when a woman puts her mouth over the organ a man uses to urinate, simply because a woman happens to be the one doing it.

You know what, only you could glean that kind of foul analogy from my point, what part of “normal man/woman relationship” didn't you understand? Still frequenting the sodomy threads to justify your brother’s filthy perversion I see?

It seems unlikely that such a percentage could be indoctrinated into such a perverse mindset, but, then again, it also seems unlikely that you could get a nation to sit idly by while the government sent people to death camps.

Remove the moral constraints from such sexual deviations, teach pubescent males that such behavior is acceptable, and, yes, I believe you will see an increase in homosexual activity (and all of the social pathologies that come along with it). Don't bother asking if I think this could have happened to me as I was raised in a society that celebrated America's Judeo-Christian moral heritage and would have been largely immune from the perverse indoctrination programs that our children are currently subjected to.

This nation's Judeo-Christian moral foundations have served us well thus far. Only the foolish and the perverse would suggest abandoning them now.
