If they actually believe that it IS abnormal (even tho' they don't admit it), what do they have to gain by pretending that it's normal and OK?

Many of them suffer from deviancies of their own, whether sexual or otherwise. They like the idea that someone else out there behaves more pathologically than they do. They figure if the more pathological person can be "accepted" then they are shoe-ins. Thus, this "acceptance" is more about selfish motives than about any actual care for the afflictions of the individual with same-sex attraction.

This thought process is one of the reasons, in my opinion, many homosexual types are so willing to accept pedophiles and incestuous relationships. It allows them to say, "see, we're not so bad. If society accepts incest and pedophilia, they've got to accept us too."

When our former president was found out for having sex with a mistress in the Oval Office, I was [naively] shocked that so many people saw nothing wrong with it and defended him. Probably the same rationale at work?

What does this say about me? I admit to having made big mistakes in my life; but when others screw up morally, I don't defend their behavior. Does that make me a hypocrite? OR judgmental?

... I guess it doesn't really matter much what people think of my unwillingness to condone immoral behavior. What matters is what I can do to help protect children from the lie that "Whatever feels good IS good," and homosexuality is "perfectly normal." Also, the more I read, the more I realize that children need more warning and protection from predators than I thought.... But I still come back to the question: What can I do? I barely make enough money to pay my bills, so huge contributions to CWA or someone are out of the question; I'm not in a position of being able to influence individual kids as I once was as a schoolteacher; so where does this leave me?

You know, the one project that really impressed me as having lots of exposure and potential influence was the billboard which called people's attention to the fact that there really are EX-gays. I thought that was great. Was that in Houston? Those should be all over the country!
