Christian MP goes on trial in Finland for calling homosexuality a disorder
Reuters ^

Posted on 01/25/2022 3:42:39 PM PST by BenLurkin

Paivi Rasanen, a medical doctor and MP for a small Christian-democratic party since 1995, called homosexuality "a developmental disorder" in an online opinion letter published in 2004 and "a shame and a sin" on Twitter in 2019, the prosecutor said.

In a programme broadcast by Finnish public radio station Yle in 2019, Rasanen described homosexuality as a form of "genetic degeneration", the prosecutor added, charging her with three counts of agitation against gay people.

In her 2004 opinion piece, Rasanen claimed that scientific evidence proved undeniably that homosexuality was a disorder in a person's psychosexual development and she suggested that gay relationships early in life could lead to sexual abuse by adult men.

In her 2019 comment on Twitter, Rasanen questioned the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran state church's decision to partner with a leading LGBTI rights association to organise a Pride event, and posted a picture of a quote from the Bible condemning gay relations.

The prosecutor says Rasanen should be fined and the public broadcaster ordered to remove parts of the radio programme.

Well, Finland was one of Germany’s allies in WWII. Not a forced one either.

I agree. Let the Russians take all of their homosexuals back to Moscow where Putin can have fun with them.

I was just thinking, there is more freedom in Russia, even as bad as Russia is.

It’s a Romans 1:18-32 kinda age and championing homosexuality in society is one of the signs of depravity.

Finns hate Russians. It was “an enemy of my enemy is my friend” thing. They faced a Hobson’s choice between two despicable regimes.

“Well, Finland was one of Germany’s allies in WWII. Not a forced one either.”

The USSR invaded Finland in November 1939 after Finland refused Russian demands for territory and demilitarization as ‘necessary security measures’ to protect the USSR. Finland ended up aligning with Germany because German was the only country willing to help them rearm against the Soviet threat.

Absent the Soviet invasion of Finland in 1939 the Finns would have remained at least neutral in WW2 and perhaps even allied with the West.

Yes, Finland was forced. Forced into it by Stalin.

Finland was attacked by Russia in 1939. So naturally, Finland and Germany had common interests in fighting Russia.

What was Finland supposed to do? Allow Russia to invade, rape Finland's women, murder its men, enslave its children?

Paivi Rasanen and Reverened Juhana Pohjola have been in the prayers of our parish over the past two weeks.


Almighty God, grant to Your Church Your Holy Spirit and the wisdom that comes down from above, that Your Word may not be bound but have free course and be preached to the joy and edifying of Christ’s holy people, that in steadfast faith we may serve You and, in the confession of Your name, abide unto the end; through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

I’m aware of that. But they are letting their totalitarian side through now.

Why? Because some Finns have succumbed to pressure from American led Globo-Homo (Hollywood, Big Finance, Big Tech).

U.S. Embassies have been flying Pride Flags every Pride Month since Obama. Now they're even flying BLM flags.

The State Dept pressures foreign countries to adopt the LGBTQ+ agenda. Have you forgotten about the $10 million allocated to Afghanistan for Gender Studies?

We bully the entire world into accepting LGBTQ+. If Finland should be invaded by Russia for accepting some of it, we deserve worse.

Exactly. Well said.

The USA has been taken over by anti-Christians who want us and all of Western Civilization destroyed, so the can control what exists on the ashes.

Lesbians. They all hate men. You hear them say it if you know them. But then they try and act like men.

Male homosexuals. They try to sleep with as many men as will say yes. That is why the aids epidemic went crazy. Now they have drugs to keep them alive but many have hiv.

So. This is just natural normal behavior and Christians wanting to have families and good relations between the opposite sex are the bad guys.

In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association (APA) decided to remove homosexuality as a mental disorder from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). Removal followed a two-year campaign Newsweek described as ongoing disruptive, chaotic attacks on psychiatrists and physiologists. Yet throughout these disruptive attacks, no academic papers arose at conferences refuting any research previously done. Eventually onslaughts forced sufficient abstentions, under-votes, and apprehensive responses for a third of APA’s 17,000 plus membership to approve removal.

Next activists targeted leading individual researchers such as Dr. David Reuben to ensure perpetual sanctity for the APA action. No research papers would again arise to confirm initial therapy success rates of 30% to 60 %, substantiating that 7 of 10 homosexuals could eventually walk away from the lifestyle. Persistent activism over the decades enabled ubiquitous infiltration of academia ensuring pre-ordained theses, approved flexibility in research designs, suitable human data points, and enchanting statistical enhancements. New standards for peer review of articles ensured appropriate design definitions, outcomes, and analytical models.

Psychology and Psychiatry always had a tenuous hold on claims they were sciences with the standing of Chemistry and Physics. On the scale of intellectual rigor, their research now often resembles alchemy and/or oral history. The DSM manual has become much more a drug marketing piece and political manifesto. They chose to relinquish efforts at a scientific method for societal and political acclaim.
