I’m not too familiar with this website as it is coming out of Romania but I do have a link for the writer “Samuel White”
and the author’s name is rather suspect.

anyone else have input on this?

“Alcoholism is a disease, right?”

It is after you you decide to become a drunk.

Your body develops a physical dependence for alcohol. Before that point it is a choice.

A recent FRA report found that Bulgaria, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Poland and Slovakia are the EU countries where this misconception is most widely held.

I guess these physicians haven't heard that the science is settled.

Threats and force can quiet people, and they have for the most part silenced doctors on this issue, but they cannot change facts.

No, actually alcoholism derives from an unusually high tolerance for alcohol, most likely based on an ability to very rapidly digest simple sugars, kind of like a reverse diabetes. When alcoholics are trained to eat complex sugars like root vegetables and green vegetables plus plenty of protein, their craving for the quick sugar fix they get from alcohol declines dramatically. All of this is turning out to be linked to genetics.

But there are obviously also those who are 100% gay, which appears to be an innate, basically unchangeable condition.

That's probably not a popular opinion on FR, but it is one that I share, formed by my personal experiences.

Why is G-d so against homosexuality? Not that I blame Him, but I want to know why he goes out of His way to call it incredibly awful, horrendous.

These doctors live under a much more Fascist regime than we do in the States. They can expect to be rooted out and destroyed.

I believe it is a mental disorder.

Tremendous anger over persecution of Christians.

Mutual hatred.

Disingenuous claims of discrimination.

Affects on heterosexual children.

The coming backlash will be brutal.

Well, for one thing, it was he who instituted marriage and the family (Bereshith 2:24), which is the basic unit of society. You might have noticed that the anti-religion communists are for abolition of the family. (I know “Chavvah” doesn’t rhyme with “Steve” like the Anglicized Greek form does, but Adam’s helpmeet was not another man. Also, the Torah does not record the name of the first homosexual, although it does record the name of the first polygynist Lemek in Bereshith 4:19.)

He’s the translator, not the author.

No, there are not “people who are 100% gay”. There is always an external cause for such inclinations. When the CDC reports that those who call themselves gay and not straight are a mere 1.7 percent of the population, it is a fringe enclave that reinforces its own behavior and not genetic as the left claims.

The original in Spanish uses the word “enfermedad”, and also the phrase “trastorno mental”.
