American Psychological Association Endorses Gay Marriage And Adoption
In a press release issued on July 28, the American Psychological Association officially endorsed gay marriage and adoption, and condemned laws in the areas of marriage and adoption that treat heterosexuality and homosexuality differently.
The APA issued a resolution favoring gay marriage, based upon the recommendation of the APA's "Working Group on Same-Sex Families and Relationships." The committee consists of gay activists.
The resolution stated in part,
"... denial of access to marriage to same-sex couples may especially harm people who also experience discrimination based on age, race, ethnicity, disability, gender and gender identity, religion, and socioeconomic status... Therefore, be it resolved that the APA believes that it is unfair and discriminatory to deny same-sex couples legal access to civil marriage and to all its attendant benefits, rights, and privileges."Members of the APA's Working Group on Same-Sex Families and Relationships are:
- Dr. Armand Cerbone, who was inducted into the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame in 2003 and was awarded an award for distinguished service to the gay movement by the Society for the Psychological Study of Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Issues, which is Division 44 of the APA.
- Dr. Beverly Green, who served as editor of Psychological Perspectives on Lesbian and Gay Issues, published by Sage Publications in 2000.
- Dr. Kristin Hancock, who developed the APA's "Guidelines for Psychotherapy with Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Clients," and is a founding member of APA's Division 44, a group focusing on gay issues.
- Dr. Lawrence A. Kurdek, who serves on the editorial board of Contemporary Perspectives on Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Psychology.
- Dr. Candace A. McCullough, a lesbian who was profiled with her partner, Sharon Duchesneau, by the Washington Post on March 31, 2002. McCullough and Duchesneau are both deaf; they chose to have Duchesneau artificially inseminated with sperm from a deaf donor who would make it highly likely that that they would have a deaf child.
At the time the article was written, they were unsure if they had succeeded in creating an infant with hearing loss. Both Duchesneu and McCullough do not consider deafness a medical condition, but a cultural identity. They wanted a child that would fit into their deaf community.
Good old division 44, it consists of a very high percentage of homosexual "psychologists". I use to debate madg on this point, I believe the last measurement I made several years ago was that Div. 44 was nearly 30% of self serving homosexuals...I'll bet it's greater than that now.
I remember when they did their research study on this subject. Britt Hume interviewed the lead researcher (can't remember her name) of same sex "families" and asked the question "do children in homosexual 'families' have a greater tendency to practice homosexuality?" After ducking the question several times she admitted that children of homosexuals practice perversion at a rate of 20%...well above the 2% rate of the population. Boy, talk about influence and choice!!!
