Over the summer, I was convicted of anti-gay hate speech. The most incredible thing about it was that I never set foot in Canada. The conviction happened while I was in Colorado. But the offense took place almost 15 years ago.
In the 1990s, a friend of mine announced that he was divorcing his wife because he had decided (after a couple of unhappy marriages) to pursue the gay lifestyle. My decision to support him was born out of ignorance. Not only was I harboring the illusion that there actually was such a thing as a gay gene. I was also ignorant of the fact that gays could be successfully cured through therapeutic efforts.
My decision to label my own verbal support of his lifestyle choice as “hate speech” makes sense only after one becomes educated about that lifestyle. According to the Centers for Disease Control, over 82% of all known sexually-transmitted HIV cases in 2006 were the result of male-to-male sexual contact. Moreover, gay and bisexual men account for over 60% of all syphilis cases.
Some will say that homophobia is the indirect cause of such numbers. They claim that fear of stigmatization keeps gays from seeking information before they become ill and from seeking medical help afterwards. But, clearly, that is not the case. In cultures where homosexuality is more accepted the numbers are worse. That is why I steadfastly maintain that supporting my friend’s decision to turn to the homosexual lifestyle was indeed an example of hate speech.
Most gays become angry when someone tells the truth about the health consequences of their lifestyle choice. The reason they get angry over the facts is because their conscience convicts them. When I came to realize that I helped make it easier for my friend to pursue his unhealthy lifestyle my conscience was convicted. I have regretted my verbal support of his decision ever since.
No sane person could ever posit that the act of rectal sodomy is safe, normal, or healthy. The rectum is a one-way street. It is a sewer meant for the expulsion of poison. Treating the rectum as a sex organ is damaging to the health – especially for the recipient of such abuse. That is why it is an act of hate, regardless of whether some choose to call it “love.”
But the gay lifestyle has never been about love. The average number of lifetime sex partners is four for a heterosexual, fifty for a homosexual. Monogamy is the norm (82%) among heterosexuals, and an aberration (2%) among homosexuals. This promiscuity is routed in the pairing of similar traits, which is an inevitable result in homosexual relationships.
It should go without saying that women have greater emotional needs than men, while men have greater physical needs than women. They need each other to balance one another out. And that is why when two men are together the physical aspects of the relationship spiral out of control to the point of compulsion. That is why estimates show that anywhere from 21-43% of homosexual males have had several hundred sex partners.
One study of white male homosexuals, published in the 1970s, showed that 43% of white males had sex with over 500 partners. Over one-quarter (28%) had sex with over 1000 partners. When these drives are unchecked they often go in dangerous directions. Although homosexual men are only about three percent of the population, they commit about one-third of all acts of child molestation.
Even pseudo-conservative Andrew Sullivan knows that homosexuality is about unbridled sexual pursuit rather than love. He openly claims that homosexuals need more than one sex partner and that heterosexual relationships are too restrictive. But he refuses to see succumbing to sexual temptation as a weakness. Instead, he calls it a sign of “honesty” and “flexibility.”
Andrew Sullivan thinks we should all become more like gays. In his calls for the majority to conform to the minority he reveals the fundamental narcissism that is at the core of the gay lifestyle. From Andrew Sullivan’s perspective, homosexuality is all about self-gratification.
But love, by definition, seeks the ultimate good of the loved one by forsaking all others. That is why we must steer our loved ones away from the homosexual lifestyle and suffer the slings and arrows of the true perpetrators of hate speech.

The Alan Guttmacher Institute (maybe spelled wrong) did a couple of studies a few years ago, and they are not a conservative organization; IIRC they are connected with Planned Parenthood.
Unfortunately I am separated from my (disorganized) files so don’t have the exact numbers. But their studies found that at most 2% of people consider themselves homosexual at any given time, even under that, 1 point something or other. It’s a fluid number since people enter and leave the “gay” life.
The higher numbers like 10% are merely propaganda and/or Kinsey numbers, and his numbers were entirely bogus.
Well I’m one who doesn’t get it. Who convicted him of the hate crime?
There are many, many reasons why homosexual practices are immoral, unhealthy, unnatural and destructive.
If you are really interested, you can do a FR search using the keyoword “homosexualagenda” and read up.
That is, if you’re really interested.
By the way, both traditional Chinese medicine, Taoism, and Ayurvedic tradition all teach that same sex acts cause mental illness - specifically increased aggression, anger and violence.
So homosexuality is not only a mental illness, but the very behavior increases the mental illness.
Forgive the intrusion of the Grammar Police; but the word is “chute”, not “shoot”, when referring to a one-way-out canal.
You are exactly right. No forgiveness necessary. My mistake.
I guess that depends on how you define being a "homosexual". Since the disorder is ONLY known by it's symptoms (homosexual behavior) the only way we have to track it is to track the symptom. If homosexual behavior stops (including urges to commit that behavior) then the disease is cured. Tens of thousands of people no longer commit homosexual behavior nor do they struggle with persistent urges. (Similar in fact to ex smokers, they may be smoke free for years yet every once in while have a short term pang for a cigarette. That pang does not make them a "smoker")
I don’t believe in the “hard-wired” explanation of sexuality.
I do. We are all hard wired to be heterosexual. The biology doesn't lie.
I think we are probably on the same page, just looking at it from slightly different angles
No forgiveness necessary. And I read it twice! I’ve never played Chutes and Ladders. :-D
I think we are hard-wired to do evil. It’s our default nature. Some people resist it and some give into it.
Case in point; All the men who get married, have kids and then decide they are gay and were never attracted to women at all. Bull. You can’t get married, have sex all those times and not be somewhat attracted to the person.
Yes, thank you.
Those who are obsessed with a particular issue are generally most affected by it - do the math.
So, Mother Teresa saved orphans because she was an orphan. Hm, no...
Wait! Sean Hannity disses liberals because he is a liberal! No?
Barack Obama spends money because he is a tightwad! Yeah, that's the ticket!
Her father did die when she was very young and had a deep impact on her, so maybe you're right..
Point is, Adams said he was feeling regret because he helped a friend go down this path that he has since realized was harmful to his friend. If that’s an obsession, okay; but it doesn’t make him gay.
Math? What math? I supposed you’d say I’m secretly attracted to my own sex since I’ve been fighting the homosexual agenda on FR for almost 9 years. Actually, I have been accused of that. All I can say is “Ha Ha Ha” you are dead wrong.
No, it is merely a standard homosexual agenda talking point.
So people who are “obsessed” - meaning have a strong interest or concern in an issue - actually harbor the opposing point of view that they publicly hold. If you want to slander Mike Adams and say he’s a closet homosexual, then you have to apply the same rule to everyone. So Michelangelo Signorile, Kevin Jennings and all the other militant homosexual activisists pushing homosexual agenda crap everywhere are secrety normal men who are attracted to women and trying to cover it up.
You’re a genius.
Ummmm, no - because they're obsessed with "pushing homosexual agenda crap".
Thanks for reinforcing my hypothesis...
What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
If someone like Mike Adams who is adamantly opposed to the homosexual agenda is, in your strange mind, having “problems” - code for secretly attracted to men, then by the same “logic”, militant homosexual activists are secretly struggling with their attraction to women.
Can’t have it only one way, dude.
Can’t have it only one way, dude.
Huh?? They're both obsessed with homosexual agendas and issues.
If a homosexual becomes obsessed with female prostitution issues, then I'd start questioning his sexual orientation.
Capisce?
Nope.
You’re merely parroting homosexual agenda talking points. Mike Adams, for another thing, is not “obsessed” with the homosexual agenda; he’s concerned about it, especially in connection with freedom of speech issues.
Yah. So was Ted Haggard..
So prove that every person who is vocal (such as myself) about the dangers of the homosexual agenda and the “gay” life is a secret fag, and you’ll make your point.
Otherwise, it’s a homosexual agenda talking point.
