I started wondering about that once I became more informed about the KINDS of people who are part of organizations that are EXCLUSIVELY anti gay, yet invariably have the word ‘family’ in the titles of their orgs.

Essentially, there is nothing about being homosexual that poses any physical, spiritual, intellectual or emotional harm to heteros OR homosexual people.

But it’s EASIEST to spread fear, misinformation and exacerbate stereotypes. That’s all.
That it’s wrong, they don’t HAVE to care about that.
What WOULD finally compel these people to stop doing it?

The deaths of children like Lawrence King or Carl Walker-Hoover doesn’t move them.
The violent, brutal and torturous deaths of Scotty Joe Weaver or Sakia Gunn doesn’t either.

The suicides of countless young people has no interest to them, except to be in denial of the roots and causation of it being a hostile, misguided social environment that pressures a gay person NOT to be.

And the ONLY reason of necessity for these groups is ideological.
Which will make it intractable too.

The obsession with keeping gay people in this discipline against their will is very strange, because how THEY want to define homosexuality, has no basis in psychiatric or medical evidence.

I remember seeing a clip of a comedian who is just as baffled, he quipped “it’s not like homosexuals are being gay AT you!”

But the same cannot be said for religious people within NARTH, Exodus and so on.
They most definitely are being Christian AT gay people.
And gay people ONLY on condition that gay people lose everyday civil freedoms and protections.

I don’t agree that someone this obsessed has to be gay themselves.
But it IS very weird to what degree, how much expense and how much political energy is spent on it.
It’s safe to say this hasn’t stirred people up as much SINCE racial integration was at issue during the 60′s.

I was just reading in the LATimes about a village in Sudan that expects tall women to fetch more cows. In other words, this is a tradition still among some cultures and the females have no say.
I was reading through a book called, “My Name Is Nujood-I’m ten years old and I want a divorce.”
Which puts a spotlight on the child brides of Middle Eastern and Middle Asian cultures.

In spite of what these ‘thousands of years of traditional marriage’ mavens are always talking about.
These books and articles I’m referencing are actually closer to what traditional marriage has ‘always been.’
Not the egalitarian, mutual adult consent examples it’s been for the last half century.

I’d have a LOT more respect for these people if they were fiercely engaged in stopping domestic violence, and examined the psychological and social things that cause it or can prevent or stop it.

Considering how many women and children are murdered in domestic violence, or how many people are incarcerated for it, this obsession with keeping gay people from becoming married members of society is actually, pretty stupid.
And wasteful.

Rekers, DID do a lot of damage and fed the fat supremacist values of the hierarchy in FRC.
Shame on the pack of them.

That’s a straw man. Who seriously holds this position? But there is evidence that at least a fair number of people who hold antigay positions are gay themselves.

Dr. Herek has published more than three dozen articles over the past two decades in peer-reviewed journal on the study of homophobia. I would venture to guess that there is no greater authority on the subject. Instead of shouting a juvenile “RUBBISH”, how about providing evidence to the contrary?

He needs to admit his fraud, and apologize to the LBGTQ community as well as the anti-gay community he now has both so recklessly destroyed.

He needs to now go quietly into the night and ask God for mercy on his soul and the strength to travel a very long road to self-acceptance and forgiveness.

RUBBISH!!!
