City Journal Winter 2002 | Why the Scouts Ban Homosexuals by ...
The Scouts side in this argument received powerful support recently when Manhattan D.A. Robert Morgenthau indicted 42-year-old Jerrold Schwartz, a now ex-scoutmaster of the Upper East Sides Troop 666 (Satans supposed signature number) for repeatedly sodomizing a young teenager in his group over a three-year period during the mid-nineties. On a secretly recorded tape, Schwartz admits to the boy, "I have a place for you in my heart, but obviously it went from my heart to the wrong parts of my body." The alleged victim of Schwartzs abuse is now 20, a pitiful, self-mutilating figure in a Florida rehab center for drug addiction and alcohol abuse. Last month, more accusations surfaced: four other credible victims, prosecutors say, claim that Schwartz molested them. In these cases, however, the statute of limitations has run out.
For the homosexual activists, what percentage of sexually abused kids would be an acceptable trade-off against the self-esteem of homosexual scoutmasters? To any reasonable American, and certainly to any parent, the answer is: zero.
Homosexuality and Child Sexual Abuse
If boys particularly are not protected from homosexual seduction, the empirical evidence assembled to date suggests that homosexuality will grow -- possibly exponentially.
Gay Foster Parents More Apt to Molest
Our society makes a lot of noise about protecting the children and for the sake of the children. But our foster system -- which may process almost half a million kids every year -- is being run throughout the country according to an alien, anti-child social philosophy.
State's Sodomy Law Puts Lesbian's Judgeship In Jeopardy
According to Adams, Virginia has invoked its sodomy law in recent years only to prevent homosexuals from adopting children and to discriminate against homosexuals involved in child custody battles. This illustrates precisely why Sodomy Laws are necessary.
The Pedophilia Debate Continues--And DSM Is Changed Again
In the DSM-III, the American Psychiatric Association contended that merely acting upon one's urges toward children was considered sufficient to generate a diagnosis of pedophilia. But then a few years later, in the DSM-IV, the APA changed its criteria so that a person who molested children was considered to have a psychiatric disorder only if his actions "caused clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning." In other words, a man who molested children without remorse, and without experiencing significant impairment in his social and work relationships, could be diagnosed by a clinician as a "psychologically normal" type of pedophile.
Challenged by NARTH to defend the change, the APAstated categorically that it had, in fact, no intention of normalizing pedophilia. However, "man-boy love" advocates cheered that DSM shift as good news.
Psychiatric Association Debates Reclassifying Pedophilia -- 06/11/2003
"Normalizing" pedophilia would have enormous implications, especially since civil laws closely follow the scientific community on social-moral matters, said Linda Ames Nicolosi, NARTH publications director.
"If pedophilia is deemed normal by psychiatrists, then how can it remain illegal?" Nicolosi asked. "It will be a tough fight to prove in the courts that it should still be against the law."
WorldNetDaily: Arnold OKs so-called 'Pedophile Protection Act'
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a bill dubbed by critics as "The Pedophile Protection Act."
The American Spectator
Democrats and liberal Republicans dismiss the constitutional amendment to protect marriage against judicial redefinition as hasty fiddling with the Constitution. But it turns out that they would like to fiddle with the Constitution this year themselves. Barney Frank and others in Congress are advancing a constitutional amendment that would permit foreign-born presidents. The constitutional prohibition tells immigrants "that they are somehow flawed," says Frank.
This is really disturbing.
Homosexual Agenda Overlapped with Moral Absolutes Ping.
(NOTE: I STUPIDLY "CUT" INSTEAD OF "COPY"D THE MORAL ABSOLUTES LIST OF NAMES. :-( If you want back on, freepmail me.)
Very amazing article with good add-ons. Dr. Judith Reisman did her homework, and continues to delve for the truth. Rational people need to ask exactly why does the "gay" rights crowd want to destroy the meaning of family and morality? And not just "gay" rights, but people exemplified by Planned Parenthood and others? Why do they hate sexual restraint so much?
Could it possibly be that they are after children?
Let me know if anyone wants on/off either list.

How easy it is to lie using statistics.
Satan wears many faces in America today and although some aquired gradually over time; "government" if not already, will soon be one of them.
