Obama played the gay card in his inaugural address. There is a lot of misconception about homosexuality. Frankly, most of what we hear is based in ignorance. Lets get to the truth about this issue. This is a very brief summary of our article at http://www.faithfacts.org/christ-and-the-culture/gay-rights. In the original article we cite numerous scientific studies which we invite the reader to investigate.
1. What causes homosexuality? There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that homosexuality is genetic. All such studies that once purported to support that idea of a gay gene have been discredited. There are various factors, however, that are associated with being gay. These include: detached parenting (especially from the father), childhood sexual abuse, accusations at a young age about lack of athletic ability in a boy. Cultural factors also play a role; homosexual rates increase in societies that accept the practice.
2. Can homosexuals change? Yes. The cure rate is about the same as alcoholism. Depending on the study, the success rate of those wanting to leave the lifestyle is between 30% and 70%. Even though the success rate is not 100%, like other difficult pathologies, we should not assume that change is impossible.
3. Isnt the homosexual lifestyle a loving one? While there are exceptions to the rule, the homosexual lifestyle is ravaging. Statistics show that homosexual behavior is marked by death, disease, disappointment, promiscuity, perversity, addiction, and misery. The real threat to persons in the homosexual lifestyle does not seem to be discrimination, but physical devastation. For example, the best available evidence indicates a 20% to 30% shorter lifespan for practicing homosexuals. 25% to 30% of homosexuals are alcoholics compared to 7% in the general population. Homosexual men have an HIV infection rate 60 times higher than the general public. Homosexuals are 16 times more likely than heterosexuals to molest a child and 15 times more likely to murder. Various studies have shown that gays have somewhere between 10 and 110 different sex partners per year.
4. Why should we discriminate against homosexuals who want to marry? Many in the culture have mistakenly concluded that marriage is merely an institution for the convenience of adults. The problem with this understanding of marriage is the profoundly mistaken idea that marriage is about the rights and happiness of adultsthat two adults have a right to happiness for as long as and in any form they want. In actuality, marriage is not adult-centric, but is the bedrock institution for culture to sustain itself through having and nurturing children. Anal intercourse, of course, does not produce children. Marriage is about the rights of children. Anything that weakens the institution of marriage is an injustice toward children. Statistics conclusively prove that children do far better with a parent of both sexes. The two sexes are complementary, and this shows up in various statistics in the health and success of the children. Interestingly, only 2% of gays who are given the chance to marry do so.
the whole event was gay if you ask me.
if it was genetic, identical twins would always both be gay 100% of the time. on average if one is, only about 50% of the time the other is also gay.
and if they claim there’s some kind of genetic predisposition to it, that means it’s a condition, like people saying they’re predisposed to be alcoholic, or do drugs, or any other self-destructive behavior they’d care to mention. nobody encourages people to engage in predisposed negative behaviors, and neither should they be encouraged to engage’in homosexuality.
“There are various factors, however, that are associated with being gay. These include:..accusations at a young age about lack of athletic ability in a boy.”
This would be the first time I have heard or read that being accused of not being athletic causes one to be gay.
Do you have data to back up that claim.
The first gay, Moslem, anti-American US President.
“If we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well” - Barack Obama
We are not created equal, thus the love we commit to one another is also not equal.
Today, many in the church are professing the message that Jesus doesn’t care because he is all about love and accepts whatever you do. I have heard this myself from people who work in churches.
Though they represent an extreme minority, the homofascists want to, like the European powers did, colonize us to their morality, except in the opposite direction.
It’s also important to know that the homofascists are not just about promoting being gay. The real agenda is pedophilia. It is, was, and always will be about getting to the children and preying on them.
Never forget that.
You left out the Joker,Mesta.
Obama luckily has the Joker removed,
because it looks an awfully lot like Larry Sinclair.
A study showed that nearly half of gay men have had over 100 sexual partners. A third of them had over 500.
Sadly 2% can sway an election.
Famous men have big numbers of partners. The fame attracts the girls.

A good analysis. This is useful information. I had no idea about the shorter homosexual lifespan. Now that Obama is ready to totally feminize our military, then our schools (with gender equality events such as compulsory ‘dress like a girl week’ like they have in Sweden.), we should take the fight to him. I remember when support for abortion was so high that it looked like the pro-life cause was lost, then we won support back because we exposed the horrors of the practice. We should do the same with this.

People who believe this have never opened and read the Bible. Jesus despises evil and doesn’t put up with it. He embraces those that give up their sinful ways and follow Him. There is a Hell and the evil doers just choose not to believe in it so they can go about their evil ways. Plain and simple.
