Destroying childhood, innocence, and modesty is what this culture is all about.

I still think that the gays really dont pose a threat to anyone. only sex with children and animals is not OK, IMHO. And I think anything that encourages committment and monogamy, gay or straight, is good for society. So let them get married and be happy together, B.F.D.

If same-sex relationships become the law of the land, then homosexual marriage will be presented to America's schoolchildren as the equivalent of heterosexual marriage.

Yes but school children are not mind numb robots who will buy into the this. They are already rejecting homosexual propaganda by changing the meaning of the word gay. Now anything that is stupid is gay. Ask anyone in high school or younger.

Read this post and you may change your mind.

Read the book and you will definitely change your mind.

Tammy Bruce's book The Death of Right and Wrong is a useful book to read regarding gay marriage, the gay agenda in our public schools and the leftists who promote them.

Bruce is a lesbian and former president of the Los Angeles chapter of NOW. She has long since left NOW and condemns them AND the radical gay agenda thoroughly in her book.

It is one of the best books I've ever read and explains what is wrong with the left and the radical gays. Bruce has worked with Congress and Phyllis Schafley on these matters and is currently a commentator for FNC.

Bruce feels the radical leftists and gays have a mental disease called malignant narcissism and explains how it is rooted in trauma that never attempts recovery. These individuals, instead of seeking psychological help, are focusing on social change. In other words, they want the rest of society to mirror their own hurt and pain.

She makes a very convincing case for the fact that an entire wing of politics is invested in the victim-hood of its constituency, the leaders of which are trying to work out their demons on society.

The book is shocking and details how the radical left and gays have espoused sexualizing our children and how supposedly mainstream supporters of those efforts have stated publicly that "Sex is not harmful to children...there are many ways even the smallest of children can partake in it" (page 193). As outrageous as this sounds, it is not some fringe group of marginalized pedophiles that want this evil perpetrated to rationalize their depravity, but rather the leaders of the "special interest" groups on the Left, sponsored by their friends in the media. Well-documented facts throughout the book reveal this agenda clearly.

This is a MUST read book in order to take on the left using their own words against them.

When mainstream America realizes what is going on, we will be more aware and able to stop this dangerous agenda from moving forward.

Sorry for the long post, but I cannot stress more strongly how important this issue is and how this book will help us fight this fight.

....you don't see the danger in this?????

Every student will be taught that, of course, abstinence until heterosexual or homosexual marriage is fine if that's one's choice. But since pregnancy isn't a danger for homosexuals, sex can be a wonderful option for younger and younger people - as long as it's carried out "responsibly," of course - like brushing one's teeth.

It already is. Sesame Street has been talking about 'two mommies' and 'two daddies' for years. Couldn't believe it when I was watching my friend's little girl and SS was talking about homosexuality. It's going on in schools too. Parents should be the ones to talk to their kids about sexuality- any kind- not the public schools or viewer funded television.

BS
my gay nephew was guilty of NONE of this. He is simply gay, from birth, never acted like a boy, always preferred dolls to trucks, etc. He lives with another man in a quiet calm adult relationship - which is much better than sleeping around wild gays in SF. He is gay. He has always been gay. He cannot and will not change. I say leave the gays alone. I have known so many gays who have had LONG term, lifetime committed relationships. Compared to heterosex. couples who have had 3, 4, 6 divorces.....

Since history was recorded, the institution of marriage evolved because it, more than any other kind of union, offered the stability of the family unit.

Nothing in the prevailing discussions has convinced me that centuries of holding dear a rock-bed foundation of marriage needs altering now to accommodate an alternate lifestyle that produces no progeny, biologically speaking.

What I think is happening in America is this: We'll be so relieved when marriage is preserved as it now stands (by constitutional means, if necessary) that we'll accept "civil unions" in relief. Perhaps that acceptance now (which could never have occurred even ten years ago) is what the gay community had planned as the REAL hidden agenda of their cause, knowing that over 65 percent of Americans wouldn't tolerate anything else.

Good night.

Since we're being all grown up here, why don't homosexuals grow up and work the system by the rules. If you're so right, why not get the laws proposed, gather a groundswell from Americans and propose the constitutional amendment. Why is it the responsibility of hetero America to fight against your thinking? Why are you not strong enough to fight FOR it ? If your position is correct, it should be easy, right?

And another thing... homosexuals have been pairing themselves outside of the laws and norms of societies for centuries. Why is it SO important NOW?

The Innate-Immutable Argument Finds No Basis in Science In Their Own Words: Gay Activists Speak About Science, Morality, Philosophy

A. Dean Byrd, Ph.D.
Shirley E. Cox, Ph.D.
Jeffrey W. Robinson, Ph.D

. The following article was published in the Salt Lake City Tribune, in slightly abbreviated form, on May 27th, 2001. Lead author A. Dean Byrd, NARTH's Vice President, received many responses (mostly positive) to this intellectually provocative editorial.

The Salt Lake City Tribune has published several articles in recent months regarding homosexuality. While many of the articles are well-written, they do not reflect the scientific literature. In fact, the social advocacy of many of the articles seem to suggest a greater reliance on politics than on science.

Leaving aside the politics of the issue, perhaps it is time to examine the innate-immutable argument about homosexual attraction. First of all--although the issue is enormously complex and simply cannot be reduced to a matter of nature vs. nurture--the answer to that debate is probably "yes" --it is likely that homosexual attraction, like many other strong attractions, includes both biological and environmental influences.

What is clear, however, is that the scientific attempts to demonstrate that homosexual attraction is biologically determined have failed. The major researchers now prominent in the scientific arena--themselves gay activists--have in fact arrived at such conclusions.

Researcher Dean Hamer, for example, attempted to link male homosexuality to a stretch of DNA located at the tip of the X chromosome, the chromosome that some men inherit from their mothers. Referring to that research, Hamer offered some conclusions regarding genetics and homosexuality.

"We knew that genes were only part of the answer. We assumed the environment also played a role in sexual orientation, as it does in most, if not all behaviors.... Homosexuality is not purely genetic...environmental factors play a role. There is not a single master gene that makes people gay....I don't think we will ever be able to predict who will be gay."

Citing the failure of his research, Hamer further writes,
"The pedigree failed to produce what we originally hoped to find: simple Mendelian inheritance. In fact, we never found a single family in which homosexuality was distributed in the obvious pattern that Mendel observed in his pea plants." What's more interesting is that when Hamer's study was duplicated by Rice et al with research that was more robust, the genetic markers were found to be nonsignificant. Rice concluded.

"It is unclear why our results are so discrepant from Hamer's original study. Because our study was larger than that of Hamer's et al, we certainly had adequate power to detect a genetic effect as large as reported in that study. Nonetheless, our data do not support the presence of a gene of large effect influencing sexual orientation at position XQ 28."

Simon LeVay, in his study of the hypothalamic differences between the brains of homosexual and heterosexual men, offered the following criticisms of his own research:

"It's important to stress what I didn't find. I did not prove that homosexuality is genetic, or find a genetic cause for being gay. I didn't show that gay men are born that way, the most common mistake people make in interpreting my work. Nor did I locate a gay center in the brain.

"INAH3 is less likely to be the sole gay nucleus of the brain than part of a chain of nuclei engaged in men and women's sexual behavior...Since I looked at adult brains, we don't know if the difference I found were there at birth, or if they appeared later."

Indeed, in commenting on the brain and sexual behavior, Dr. Mark Breedlove, a researcher at the University of California at Berkeley, demonstrated that sexual behavior can actually change brain structure. Referring to his research, Breedlove states,

"These findings give us proof for what we theoretically know to be the case-that sexual experience can alter the structure of the brain, just as genes can alter it. [I]t is possible that differences in sexual behavior cause (rather than are caused) by differences in the brain."

Who will win the legal battle, the small gay population or the much larger straight population?
