Former Homosexual: 'Gay Marriage is a Counterfeit and Fraud'

HUNTINGTON, Conn., Feb. 5 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Stephen Bennett, executive director of SBM, Inc. and former homosexual, testified yesterday on Beacon Hill at the Massachusetts Statehouse stating "gay" marriage is "...a deceptive counterfeit and fraud." A Representative interrupted the session, announcing the breaking news from the state's SJC rejecting a civil union compromise and demanding "gay" marriage.

Bennett, a national speaker on homosexuality and the "gay" agenda, lived the "gay" lifestyle for over 11 years, and was sexually active with over 100 partners, many whom have died from AIDS. Finally in a long term same-sex relationship, he left it all in 1992. Today at 40, he is happily married over 10 years to his wife and he is the father of their two children. He is founder of SBM, a national organization advocating for the traditional family, the protection of children, and proclaiming the truth about homosexuality.

"I've had both worlds. I've loved a man and a woman. But I'll tell you the three "D's" of homosexuality: dysfunctional, destructive and deadly." Bennett continued, "America needs to realize affirming 'gay' marriage is giving homosexuals a false hope. Respectfully, what homosexuals need -- is help."

Stephen frequently speaks as a national spokesperson on behalf of Concerned Women for America in Washington, DC and the American Family Association in Tupelo, Miss. He appears frequently in the media confronting the misinformation campaign being waged by "gay" activists.

"Real love and tolerance is to share the truth with homosexuals -- not to enable them to remain trapped in a falsehood. America needs to realize the impact "gay" marriage will have on society. Our children will be the ultimate victims." Stephen ended, " No one is born "gay" -- and homosexual men and women CAN completely change."

Stephen Bennett is always available for media on "gay" marriage or any stories relating to the "gay" issue. SBM's national office is only a little over an hour outside of NYC.

Amazing that people keep dragging out this hoary old yarn about homosexuality in Ancient Rome. Like the modern world, the overwhelming majority of Romans did not practice homosexuality and most people thought it was wrong. The parctice was mostly limited to few perverted Emperors and their courts- kinda like rock stars!

He changed. Good for him. I remain skeptical.

An alcoholic who doesn't drink still has the potential to be an alcoholic.

As does a non alcoholic, just takes the right exposure, stress, break down of belief's.

Yes but America in the late 20th/ early 21st century has a marital success rate of 50%.

no...an alcoholic is an alcoholic. An alcoholic who doesn't drink is a sober alcoholic. An alcoholic doesn't wake up the next day and say.." I think I won't be an alcoholic today."


A homosexual is a homosexual. A homosexual who doesn't engage in homosexual acts is a celibate homosexual not a heterosexual.

A homosexual doesn't become a heterosexual any more than you can wake up tomorrow and say " I think I will be a homosexual today" ( this is assumes you are a heterosexual of course.)

Perhaps, but not every one with a drinking problem is an alcoholic. Alcoholics actually digest alcohol differently.

As one of the few conservative homosexuals willing to post on FR, I feel I need to address your over-generalization about mother hating and how it "makes" men gay. I have always had a great loving relationship with both of my parents. There was no Oedipal complex in my family and I don't hate women. I'm just not attracted to them sexually--never have, never will.

So does my sister hate her mother? After all, she's married to a man (gasp).

Some Greeks and some Romans.. In Sparta pederasty was a death sentence while in Athens is was tolerated and in Rome it was actively promoted among the upper classes. Among tradesmen it was anathema. IN Alexandrine Egypt pederasty was frowned upon while homosexual relationships were fostered for combat reasons ( the Sacred Band of Thebes)

I certainly couldn't imagine switching teams but I don't know if one is defined by his behavior or his beliefs which may not be known. If a former homosexual wakes up one day and finds that he no longer finds men sexually attractive, stops going to Broadway shows and sells his meticulously renovated Victorian B&B to take a wife and raise a family...he might not be a homosexual.

If I quit smoking am I still a smoker? I don't think so.

Maybe the guy is Bisexual, an active heterosexual, latent homosexual, bi sexual. The whole always alcoholic, recovering alcoholic thing is just semantics to remind the ex alcoholic that he is more susceptible to alcoholism than an average citizen. So stop the stupid argument.

Rush just had an interesting conversation with a gay man. He made the argument that marriage is an institution formed mainly around the raising of children.

Funny how when someone gives up his former heterosexual life and proclaims himself to now be homosexual, the homosexual community celebrates and declares that this person has finally found himself and is no longer in denial...but if a homosexual gives up the lifestyle and declares that he is now heterosexual, the homosexual community despairs and declares that this individual has lost his way is now denying his true self. They seem to be decidedly one-sided on the subject of changing lifestyle.

Your sense of history is as flawed as your theological sense. Judeo-Christanity begin with Abraham's birth in Ur about 2000-1800 BCE ( some Jewish scholars put it at 1811 BCE) Your assertion that Judaism existed 10,000 years ago in neolithic caves would give biblical scholars a real chuckle. Morty, the Jewish Caveman.

It was also actively discouraged in Ancient Rome by Marcus Aurelius and many others who thought it was immoral.

I don't think the Oedipal complex is a conscious one.

It is the argument that alcoholics use with great success in 12 step programs. There is no such thing as a " former alcoholic" to an alcoholic. There is such a thing a sobriety.

The same thing is true of homosexuals...they may not practice homosexual behaviors but they are nonetheless homosexuals.

Just because one is a celibate heterosexual it doesn't mean that they aren't heterosexuals. In sum...the absence of nooky doesn't make anyone less a heterosexual.

That is true....each age had its response. That is why it is dangerous to make blanket assertions without caveats.
