Thanks Bryan. I recently read an editorialist who recited a similar threat against him because he was gay. However, there was no way to support his claim. It just had the feel to me that it was made up.

IS it organized ?

Background It has been suggested that homosexuality is associated with psychiatric morbidity. This study examined differences between heterosexually and homosexually active subjects in 12-month and lifetime prevalence of DSM-III-R mood, anxiety, and substance use disorders in a representative sample of the Dutch population (N = 7076; aged 18-64 years).

Methods Data were collected in face-to-face interviews, using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview. Classification as heterosexual or homosexual was based on reported sexual behavior in the preceding year. Five thousand nine hundred ninety-eight (84.8%) of the total sample could be classified: 2.8% of 2878 men and 1.4% of 3120 women had had same-sex partners. Differences in prevalence rates were tested by logistic regression analyses, controlling for demographics.

Results Psychiatric disorders were more prevalent among homosexually active people compared with heterosexually active people. Homosexual men had a higher 12-month prevalence of mood disorders (odds ratio [OR] = 2.93; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.54-5.57) and anxiety disorders (OR = 2.61; 95% CI = 1.44-4.74) than heterosexual men. Homosexual women had a higher 12-month prevalence of substance use disorders (OR = 4.05; 95% CI = 1.56-10.47) than heterosexual women. Lifetime prevalence rates reflect identical differences, except for mood disorders, which were more frequently observed in homosexual than in heterosexual women (OR = 2.41; 95% CI = 1.26-4.63). The proportion of persons with 1 or more diagnoses differed only between homosexual and heterosexual women (lifetime OR = 2.61; 95% CI = 1.31-5.19). More homosexual than heterosexual persons had 2 or more disorders during their lifetimes (homosexual men: OR = 2.70; 95% CI = 1.66-4.41; homosexual women: OR = 2.09; 95% CI = 1.07-4.09).

Conclusion The findings support the assumption that people with same-sex sexual behavior are at greater risk for psychiatric disorders.

"If they don't preach tolerance, they are preaching violence," Harris said.

Translation: "Give us what we want, or we'll beat you and kill you."

Buck Harris, a former host of a gay-themed radio talk show, said sermons such as Endrei's can fuel hate crimes.

"If they don't preach tolerance, they are preaching violence," Harris said.----

Translation: If you don't accept Homosexuals and try to convince others that "it" is wrong, then you are preaching HATE SPEECH and you will be taken down by any mean necessary.

Nah, this doesn't smell right. I can't suspend my disbelief.

Shove your snout in The Pink Swastika and pull your head out of T.V. propaganda land.

I wonder if the tolerant 'n sensitive Left will now open a school which janitors can attend without fear of being bullied by the fags.

There was another thread where a Texas Episcopalian church was set fire (with lighter fluid) and reportedly some prohomsexual graffitti was found (something along the lines of "Jesus loves homosexuals").

The sad truth is that they recognize that Jesus does indeed love 'homosexuals' but fail to recognize that he will mourn over them as they are cast into hell for refusing to repent and be changed.

Love doesn't equal a "get out of hell free card". He already died for them, the rest is up to them.

Then what becomes of tolerance for those who oppose homosexuality? It vanishes. Thus in the name of tolerance, tolerance is eliminated.

Eventually the leftist/homosexual movement will attempt to silence those who are "intolerant" by using government force. It has already begun in Canada. It will come here.
