Stop the Madness!

While waiting at the airport for a recent flight, I observed a bright-eyed little girl who came running over into the gate area. She was full of the exuberance you would expect from a six or seven-year-old. Rushing over to the window, she gazed in amazement as the planes took off and landed.

I could not suppress a smile as I saw her bright eyes and cheerful face. However, my smile faded as two women came over to grab her hand and lead her back to the seating area. Both women were wearing wedding rings and there were visible signs to show that they were neither friends nor sisters, but rather a homosexual “couple.”

I began to reflect on what I saw and was forced to the conclusion that this little girl is one of the many victims today whose life and future are being sacrificed, or at least jeopardized, on the altar of political correctness.

I am not saying that she was visibly mistreated. Her guardians were treating her well and she was responding with the love you would expect from a young girl towards a parental figure. Nevertheless, the facts are that this beautiful girl will grow up without the types of support and strength that only a father can provide.

It may be that she will go through life without experiencing abuse. She may never see her guardians act inappropriately in her presence. They may not be substance abusers, partake in domestic violence, engage in promiscuous behavior or contract infectious diseases, but the odds are certainty not in her favor.

Statistics show the average homosexual relationship lasts only a year and a half and the average couple has eight partners a year in addition to the “stable” one.

Concerning diseases, homosexual behavior is risky at best. It is reported that one in seven men involved in it are HIV positive and they are100 times more likely to contract syphilis.

Also, life at home in these relationships is often far from idyllic. Numerous authors have noted a large increase of domestic violence among same-sex “couples.” Furthermore, Thomas Schmitd, in his book Straight and Narrow? Compassion and Clarity in the Homosexual Debate, points out a large increase in substance abuse among homosexuals. He wrote:

“A Boston study found that, for the years 1985-1988, 80 percent of 481 homosexual men had used marijuana...60 percent cocaine, 30 percent amphetamines and 20 percent LSD. A 1988-1989 Canadian study found that...of 612 male homosexual subjects...45.6 percent [regularly used] at least one drug. A national study of 1,924 female homosexuals conducted in 1984 found that...47 percent smoked marijuana...”[1]

Perhaps even more revealing is the fact that male homosexuals are nearly 14 times more likely to commit suicide.[2]

However, on a higher level, these statistics are beside the point. There are more important reasons why homosexual “couples” should not raise children. The unnatural homosexual lifestyle necessarily deprives a child of important elements to properly understand God and forge a relationship with Him and others.

God created men and women to be complimentary. Individually, neither sex can represent the Creator sufficiently. While a father lacks the degree of love and tenderness that a mother provides, a mother lacks that strength and discipline that only a father can give. This is why when we are beaten down by life’s storms, we tend to seek comfort from our mothers and when we need to solve a difficult problem that will require us to take a firm position, we look for the support and advice of our fathers.

God makes up for these missing elements in men and women, by ordaining that both are necessary for procreation.

Furthermore, the union of father and mother give a much fuller understanding of God, Who personifies the qualities of both sexes. Since our parents are the first and most important image of God that we experience, a child growing up without a father or a mother will face an uphill battle in forging his notion of God.

Last, in forging the marriage bond, the mother and father must give of themselves to provide what the other lacks and work through the conflicts that necessarily arise from their differences. Nevertheless, they form such a complete bond, that in the words of God, Himself, “the two become one flesh.” These elements teach the child realities of human relationships that are indispensable to life, but absent in homosexual “couples.”

That is why I oppose homosexual “couples” raising children. I oppose it because I am a Catholic. I oppose it from the perspective of logic and natural law. However, the beautiful little girl I saw at the gate in the airport strengthened the emotional aspect of my rejection.

We must face it. Homosexual child rearing is madness and we must stop the madness. If we are hesitant to resist it for the sake of logic, we should resist it for the sake of the children.

The cultural revolution of the 60’s, now in full bloom, I strongly suspect will backfire within the next 10 - 20 years.

The adopted children of homo’s catch on quick there is something wrong when compared to how mother nature works and especially their more mentally balanced friends as a they mature.

The dumbed down politically correct millennials who will vote for any fraud properly presented to them will catch on in their 40’s or 50’s and realize there is an American Dream they’ve been screwed out of. They will realize their voter ignorance created massive government debt and they simply will not be able to retire with financial and health security like their parents or grand parents. For the sake of the nation I hope they wake up.

This bunch might go the way of Greece, and just mindlessly keep demanding more and more and more. And the homo culture of today could evolve into something that would make Sodom and Gomorrah look like choir practice. Fortunately (I hope) I will be dead by then.

The most scientifically credible studies show that children of heterosexual parents fare better on numerous indicators of personal well-being than children of homosexual parents. Authored by Mark Regnerus, a sociology professor at the University of Texas at Austin, the study was published in the July 2012 issue of Social Science Research. Children of lesbian mothers are nearly 12 times (≅ 1200%) as likely to say they were sexually touched by a parent or adult as those raised in intact biological families. Asked if they had ever been raped, 31 percent of those raised by lesbian mothers and 25 percent of children raised by gay fathers answered yes, compared to 8 percent of those from intact biological homes. Twenty percent (20%) of those raised by lesbians and 25% of those raised by gay men reported having contracted a sexual transmitted infection, compared to 8% of those raised by their biological parents. Twelve percent (12%) of those with a lesbian mother and 24% of those with a gay father reported having recently contemplated suicide, compared to only 5% raised by an intact biological family or a single parent. Nineteen percent (19%) of those raised by a lesbian mother or gay father were currently or recently receiving psychotherapy, compared to 8% of those raised by their heterosexual parents. Twenty-eight percent (28%) of those of working age raised by a lesbian mother and 20% of those raised by a gay father reported being currently unemployed, compared to 8% raised by an intact biological family and 13% raised by a single parent. Regnerus’ findings conflict with studies widely touted by homosexual activists which have claimed that children raised by homosexual parents fare as well or even better than their peers. Many of these studies, Regnerus points out, have relied on small, self-selected samples, parent rather than child reported outcomes, and have exhibited evidence of political bias. Regnerus drew his data from the New Family Structures Study, a data collection project that drew from a large, random sample of American young adults. This study is one of the few that measures outcomes as reported by the children of homosexuals, rather than relying on an assessment by the homosexual parent. Children from same-sex households much less likely to graduate high school: large study Girls living in “gay” households are only 15 percent as likely to graduate compared to girls from opposite sex married homes. A large-scale study by Douglas W. Allen, professor of economics at Simon Fraser University, has found that children in same-sex households were only 65 percent as likely to graduate from high school as those living in traditional opposite sex marriage families.
