BOSTON, The Massachusetts government heard testimony last week from a young Canadian woman, Dawn C. Stefanowicz who had been raised from infancy by her homosexual father and his various “partners” in a “gay” household. She told the Massachusetts Judiciary Committee that her life submerged in the homosexual subculture had left her scarred psychologically and morally.
Stefanowicz made her statement during hearings, held April 11 by the Massachusetts government to consider establishing an amendment to the state constitution that would define marriage as being between one man and one woman.
Describing her father’s homosexual lifestyle as a culture without “boundaries and principles of morality and monogamy,” Stefanowicz said her upbringing was characterized by confusion and lack of affection, domestic violence and sexual abuse.
In her father’s world which he made hers, she said, “transsexualism, and transient and anonymous multiple partners were common…By age ten, for example, I was exposed to a gay nude beach, a sex shop, and a gay cruising park.”
In April, 2005, Ms. Stefanowicz read a statement at a Marriage Rally on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada. In that statement, Stefanowicz said because of the sexual molestation she endured at an early age, she was at a high risk for sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS. Her father and several of his former partners died of the disease.
In her Massachusetts testimony, Stefanowicz also delineated the legal and societal risks of adopting homosexual marriage and hate crimes laws. She warned US legislators that since the institution of such laws in Canada, essential political freedoms have been severely undermined or even curtailed. The homosexual lobby has used the courts and extra-judicial Human Rights Tribunals to silence opposition to their program of social change.
She said, “Freedom of speech and democracy are eroded by hate crime and same-sex marriage legislation, and by judicial activism. Human Rights Tribunals in Canada police speech, and penalize upstanding citizens for their expressed opposition to homosexuality.”
“May what is happening in Canada serve as a warning to Massachusetts. Where can the children find safety if legislation is in place legitimizing homosexual marriage?” she said.
The Protection of Marriage Amendment now awaits a vote by the Massachusetts legislature during the state Constitution Convention scheduled for May 10, 2006. If approved by 50 legislators this year and next year, the Protection of Marriage Amendment will appear on the November 2008 ballot for a statewide vote.

The homosexuals are not just like married heterosexual couples!
HA Ping.
Sounds little different than "single mother" households to me.
Was she adopted? Or did she start with a straight family that broke up after dad found out he was gay?
bump
Here's your first clue as to the difference between "single mother" households and homosexual ones:
Two men having anal sex.
Only people that have a brain can know that fact, wagglebee! :)
Child Abuse...pure and simple. Even if it was a monogamous gay couple, think of how EMBARRASSED and ASHAMED this child would be!! No decent parent would allow their child to go over there to play.....it's just awful what is happening with these gay issues.
fyi
God bless her. I hope stories like hers show that there is a difference with same-sex couples, and that their relationships aren't marriage.
Unfortunately, I do know of a married heterosexual couple who exposed their children to a nude beach, a sex shop, and a cruising spot. So, in those ways, this married couple was very much like the homosexuals in the article.
There are obviously exceptions, but in both cases it is deplorable.
I just recently learned that Coleus is a flower by the way.
No other words should be needed!
Perversion is perversion and will always be perversion.
I wonder why we didn't see gays like this on Rosie's special cruise movie?
The difference is, of which kind of household is the behavior described more descriptive of the NORM in such households.
Just one measure: rampant promiscuity and the accompanying medical consequences are the NORM among men who engage in homosexual behavior. Not so in the normal married heterosexual household.
Where can the children find safety if legislation is in place legitimizing homosexual marriage?” she said.
Where can the children find safety if society sacrifices their innocence and psychological well being at the altar of politically correct moral relatively derived and junk science premised pseudo reality?
and a vitamin supplement too.
