When you have been a medical professional, there are a lot of things that you'll never be able to unsee.
Things like severe anal lacerations.
Things like fungus in places where it should not be.
Things like genital warts and sores.
Things like diseases such as hepatitis, monkeypox, and full-bore AIDS.
Things like balls, beads, and light bulbs shoved up into a person's large intestine.
Things like cancers that a normal person would usually be able to avoid having.
Things like "meth mouth" caused by selling one's body.
Things like walking corpses barely able to stand.
Things like depression, of a kind for which there is no medication to alleviate.
Things like fights between two people that go far beyond the typical domestic disturbance.
Things like malnourishment.
Things like slashed wrists and deliberate drug overdose.
Things like suicide attempts that more often than not succeed.
Having seen such tragedies, too many times, I must pose this question to anyone so interested: Why should I or any other person of conscience ever condone or approve of the behavior that causes these terrible tragedies to happen?
How is endorsing such behavior - knowing what comes of it - at all possibly expressing love and concern toward fellow man and woman?
Over the course of the past few weeks, I've made some remarks here and elsewhere. About homosexuality, bisexuality, transgenderism... pretty much everything under the "LGBT" banner. Some people have latched onto those remarks and declared that I am a "bigot" and "homophobic". Word that have been used too often, by those who try to shut down all debate and dissent. Nobody wants to be "phobic" after all. Who wants to be a bigot?
But that's not going to work with me. I'm not afraid of anything or anyone. I do believe in being wary and enlightened however. And in being a decent person.
Last month was "LGBT Pride": a revelry of sexual deviancy. I cannot partake of such alleged celebration of lust. Not if I am to stay true to the person who God made me to be. And that includes being a decent enough human being that I cannot with approving heart witness other people degrade and debase themselves.
That is what homosexuality and bisexuality and transgenderism do: they destroy everything that is good about a person. It destroys one's body, one's mind, and in the end one's soul.
The rage began when on a forum I posted four simple words from the Book of Proverbs: "Pride goeth before destruction." Immediately some of the more frothing members of the LGBT community pounced. If scripture is powerful and provocative, it certainly was in this case. For that alone I was declared guilty of bigotry, of homophobia, of fascism... whatever other such adjectives flitted through their bitter minds.
The people making such accusations have some of the darkest souls I've ever seen. They are very, very troubled and broken. They are so broken in fact, that they cannot comprehend their wretched condition. They are so trapped by their unholy indulgences that they cannot tolerate the merest whisper that what they are doing is killing them.
It is killing them. I know this. Perhaps not today or tomorrow. Maybe not even five years from now. But it is destroying them in every way that a person can be destroyed. Especially in soul.
If anyone wants to attack me for my beliefs, if any individual ridicules me for not joining the LGBT "cause", if refusing to endorse that kind of behavior costs me personally in some way or another...
I'm not going to be moved. No matter how many people may hate me for it.
And they do hate. It's all that's really left to them. They hate those who refuse to join in with them. But in truth, they hate themselves. It gnaws at them, deprives of their body and spirit. It exacerbates a hunger that can never be satiated.
There are only two ways of escaping it: death, or turning away from it. Turning toward God or to whatever higher power one happens to believe in. I do very seriously doubt that God is going to appreciate homosexuality either. The Judeo-Christian ethic is rife with warnings against sexual sin, including men having relations with other men or women doing likewise with other women. I'm aware that some so-called churches are "affirming" of homosexuality. But that is in dire violation of the words of our Lord, when He said "Go, and sin no more." God doesn't want us to remain as we are. He wants us to become what we are truly meant to be. Debasing and degrading one's self in obscenity is not doing that at all and there is no sound doctrine which confirms that it is.
As Martin Luther said at the Diet of Worms: "Here I stand. I can do no other."
So to all the haters: it doesn't bother me, how you label me "bigoted" or "homophobic" or anything else. Doesn't matter if all the crowds, all the politicians, all the media, all the allegedly wise clergy, all the former friends tell me that I am wrong.
The whole world can scream at me to move.
And I will merely whisper: "No. You move."

My former BIL was one of the first in this region to die of AIDS.
My sister stayed friends with him to the end, helping to take care of him.
I saw him the night he died, having taken her to be with him at the hospital. I was so choked up that I left. All doped up, but he knew me. He knew me.
She never remarried, even though they’d divorced some time earlier. When she needed courage, she’d wear his ring.
I am still angry at him. He was SO funny.
I suspect the author is confusing cause and effect. I don’t think that being an alphabet person causes all those terrible things. I think whatever illness causes those terrible things also causes people to “identify” as an alphabet person. There have always been sick people. Identifying as an alphabet person gives the person a direction for his sickness to travel. Years ago, a man would dress up as a woman in private or with one or two others. Today, if he identifies as a “t” his illness is embraced and celebrated and he has a template of activities ranging from reading to small children all the way up to murder. How liberating it must be for him to have a readymade map for how he’s supposed to act. This gives his illness “meaningful” expression.
I forgot. She told us that she never outed him because she was afraid that our father would have killed him.
I think she was right.
Need more biologists.
Thank you, AGREE 100%
The LGBT lifestyle is one that invariably leads to harm.
NO!! LOL :-) Several months ago I published my first book. It’s on Amazon. I used my full name in writing it: Robert Christopher Knight. All because I didn’t want to be confused with Peter Brady ;-)
I knew a number of gay people in the 1980’s and watched the pandemic grow and spread. Fortunately, I was never involved with that kind of sex, being hetero. However I did a fair amount of emotional and health counseling with both gay and straight people, who in a number of those cases had experience severe abuse at the hands of a close family member. In some cases it was very clear why the person of either sexual direction had made those choices, which included abuse of alcohol and drugs. In some cases the abuse was equally severe for gay or straight. In many cases the preferred choice of sex partners was specifically influenced by the sex of the abuser or abusers. The choice of alcohol, pot, or more severe drugs was more influenced by the severity of the abuse or in some cases by more subtle messages and punishments.
Believe me, there are plenty of potential sources for anger in these situations. Try looking at early circumstances, and perhaps you will have less anger at the ultimate victim and more understanding of underlying causes and influences. One surprising event in my area happened when a local merchant of young men, often for older men, had a surprising drop in his clientele. A major local newspaper had run several articles on the plague and local effects in the mid 1980s. It turns out that the majority of the clients who stopped calling were married men living in the comfortable suburbs.
I’ve always wondered why they don’t have “Siamese Twin Pride”.
pervasion is a behavior.
behaviors are complex but one major cause is imprinting.
Homosexuality is a predatory perverted hedonism that undermines civilization. Children are often the prey of this behavior
Is there a homosexual temptation? Yes. Yes there is. Just as we are ALL tempted by something or another. God wants us to overcome our temptations though. In Him is found strength to do that.
Or so says a friend of mine, dear as a brother, who is a non practicing homosexual who credits God for keeping him from falling.
That is a powerful essay.

Thank you. Hearing that really does make my evening :-)
Obviously so! :-P
But they’re living out their truth?
