There is a great deal of evidence that indicates that homosexuality, for most people, is a serious psychological disorder which results from difficulties in growing up and/or from sexual molestation during the teen years. There is a great deal of evidence that the condition can be cured for many, and that it can often be prevented. This resource will be valuable to many parents who do not want their children to grow up homosexual.

Excerpt from NARTH's website: Today, children from kindergarten through college are being taught that homosexuality is a normal, healthy lifestyle option with no disadvantages other than society's disapproval. Sexually confused teenagers are encouraged to investigate homosexual relationships when they are too young to make critical lifestyle decisions. If they seek counseling, they are told that change from homosexuality is impossible.

Gender-disturbed children are no longer helped to become more comfortable with their own biological sex, or with the same-sex peers they have been avoiding. Instead, counselors tell their parents, "Your child is fine--the only problem is with society."

It is NARTH's aim to provide a different perspective. Particularly, we want to clarify that homosexuality is not "inborn," and that gays are not "a people," in the same sense that an ethnic group is "a people"--but instead, they are (like all of us) simply individuals who exhibit particular patterns of feelings and behavior.

When gay advocates reframed the public debate as a discussion about "who one is" rather than "what one does," they successfully intimidated dissenters by casting them as personally bigoted and hateful. As a result, most people who defend the reality of male-female design have been embarrassed into public silence.

my response to someone telling me that they're gay because of heredity? "who, pray tell, did you inherit it from? your parents obviously found it appealing to have sex with each other, as did their parents, and so on."

at one point, psycology was largely devoted to curring homosexuality. now a days though, many liberals (who like to have distorted views of reality) tend to ban (and even take out of books) the ideas that it is a mental disorder. why on earth would a man have a "natural" urge to have sex with something that cant help him procreate? im sorry, but all my instincts in finding (and gawking) at women tend to lean towards "could her body support a baby?" thats why most men like the girls with hips. thems is child-bearin' hips! its natural to want to continue the species, it's not natural to want to do something as pointless as have sex with something that would by its own nature, provide no beneficial means to the rest of the world.

Explain contraception and abortion.

My niece just committed suicide. She was 21 and living the gay lifestyle for a number of years. She was introduced to that whole social scene in couseling she received through the State of Kansas (mostly--I think). This is a tragic story that will never be told correctly. It will only be used and manipulated to push the gay political agenda and produce more tragedies.

My niece told me just 2 months ago (when my sister died--very bad year for my family) that she didn't want to live the gay lifestyle forever. She said it was just a phase because she hates men (she was raped twice) and she wanted companionship.

I shouldn't and mostly won't tell this story myself because it is too personal to my family. But there is a lot of evil going on in the name of "safety and acceptance."

The homophobes--those that so fear homosexuals that they bow and scrape to their every whim--are going to have a fit about this book.

Should sterile people still have sex? Personally, I like the act as much, if not more, than the result.

Hey RAT Patrol - I will keep you and your family in my personal prayers. I am deeply saddened to know of your tragedy... I will pray also for your niece's soul...and that she may find her way to nearness with God. - - I have a friend from high school who had a wacko father that put him down always - and who was homosexually molested by a Protestant minister as a teenager. He entered into the homosexual lifestyle and became an alcoholic. Though he avoided AIDs, his life today is marked by venereal disease, incredible loneliness, one night stands with anonymous men, and great, great unhappiness. He has been suicidal on many occasions. Anything that might prevent our youth from going down the homosexual road is greatly valuable. And those who encourage kids to go down that road(often at incredibly young ages when their sexuality is just forming), are child abusers. The homosexual agenda in this country is destroying lives. It's a tragedy. - - Again, you and your family will have my thoughts and prayers...

people who support abortion have a distorted vision of reality anyway. contraception is beneficial, it provides a means to pro-create. next.

the person wanting the action is not the same as the person wanting the action from something that by its own nature cannot provide offspring. i did not say that sterile people shouldnt have sex. i said that people that by their standard capabilites should not have the urge to have sex with something that has NO possible way of providing offspring. you don't see dogs giving it to cats. you see neutered dogs chasing females in heat all the time. it isnt normal for a person to crave sex from something that isn't of the proper sex and genes that would make for children. a sterile person is able to have lust also, but it's the mental state of the person that decides where it wants it from.


you can like the act all you want, its still your instincts that drives your cravings.

If someone is sterile, there is NO possible way to provide offspring.

And our family dog mounted the family cat every chance he got.

His parents may have engaged in sex, but how do we know they found it "appealing?" Gay people can engage in heterosexual sex, too, and produce children. But does that mean they find it appealing?

::rolls eyes:: if someone is steril, i just said that they have a drive. not a chance. its natural for us, as living things to want to continue our lineage. the dog/cat thing is something else. dogs will mount a leg and hump it. that doesn't mean they actually put their penis in the leg. it just means they have the urge to have sex with something, and they got desperate (desperation is another example of the mental disorders i was telling you about). again, it isnt natural for a human male to (in a healthy state of mind) want to take it in the butt from another male. they have to haev some type of issue. either a longing to be wanted, or a warped perception, or something. but a healthy mind wants to at least attempt to continue the popultaion.

And yet, mysteriously, the offspring of brown-haired, brown-eyed couples are sometimes blue-eyed, blonds. Or even worse, green-eyed red-heads!
