BOSTON, The Massachusetts government heard testimony last week from a young Canadian woman, Dawn C. Stefanowicz who had been raised from infancy by her homosexual father and his various “partners” in a “gay” household. She told the Massachusetts Judiciary Committee that her life submerged in the homosexual subculture had left her scarred psychologically and morally.
Stefanowicz made her statement during hearings, held April 11 by the Massachusetts government to consider establishing an amendment to the state constitution that would define marriage as being between one man and one woman.
Describing her father’s homosexual lifestyle as a culture without “boundaries and principles of morality and monogamy,” Stefanowicz said her upbringing was characterized by confusion and lack of affection, domestic violence and sexual abuse.
In her father’s world which he made hers, she said, “transsexualism, and transient and anonymous multiple partners were common…By age ten, for example, I was exposed to a gay nude beach, a sex shop, and a gay cruising park.”
In April, 2005, Ms. Stefanowicz read a statement at a Marriage Rally on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada. In that statement, Stefanowicz said because of the sexual molestation she endured at an early age, she was at a high risk for sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS. Her father and several of his former partners died of the disease.
In her Massachusetts testimony, Stefanowicz also delineated the legal and societal risks of adopting homosexual marriage and hate crimes laws. She warned US legislators that since the institution of such laws in Canada, essential political freedoms have been severely undermined or even curtailed. The homosexual lobby has used the courts and extra-judicial Human Rights Tribunals to silence opposition to their program of social change.
She said, “Freedom of speech and democracy are eroded by hate crime and same-sex marriage legislation, and by judicial activism. Human Rights Tribunals in Canada police speech, and penalize upstanding citizens for their expressed opposition to homosexuality.”
“May what is happening in Canada serve as a warning to Massachusetts. Where can the children find safety if legislation is in place legitimizing homosexual marriage?” she said.
The Protection of Marriage Amendment now awaits a vote by the Massachusetts legislature during the state Constitution Convention scheduled for May 10, 2006. If approved by 50 legislators this year and next year, the Protection of Marriage Amendment will appear on the November 2008 ballot for a statewide vote.

Homosexuals are ten times more likely to be complainers, demand help, carry VD, be crazy, be degenerate, be perverse, and more weird than heterosexuals. That's a fact. Whatever bad thing you find in people it's endemic in homosexuals.
I've had a number of gay friends, but I can think of none that I would want to have raise kids. Some very nice people, but all screwed up in some fundemental ways. One of my best friends was in a "monogamous" relationship. Somehow, monogamy still included lots of external flings. Both died of AIDS, by the way.
The day after Easter, there was a news report, showing a photo of two "Dads" wearing rainbow-colored leis, one holding a 3-year girl, who had attended the White House Easter Egg Hunt. One of the men was holding 3 tickets to the event and gawking proudly.
It was a disgusting photo. The photo enlisted such pity and regret on my part -- for the chances of this little innocent child EVER being normal and happy.
Now, it seems that the news media has removed this photo from the Internet.
Did anyone capture it? This would be a great place to show a photo of how unnatural a picture this really is!
I found it!

Isn't this terrible?
Uhh, what happened to her mother?
You knew about this, and I assume, did nothing - shame upon you!!!
What would you have him/her do? Kidnap the child? Unless the child was being directly molested, exposing it to these things is not illegal and social services is not interested.
Sickening photo. If God wanted 2 men to have babies one of them would of been a friggen WOMAN.
"In her father’s world which he made hers,"
IM not SHO, that says it all!
bump
"Whatever bad thing you find in people it's endemic in homosexuals."
I can think of one exception; gays tend to be affluent. Obviously that's little consolation for children compared to all the other unhealthy behaviors they are exposed to.
What an ugly, baseless, gratuitously insulting remark.
I am glad my dad is not gay.
What I walked in on when I was little would have been a lot worse. LOL
I can only hope you are correct, but i doubt it.
One of the major promoters of gay adoption (at least he used to be) has more than once publicly declared that he and his "partner" are more fit parents to their "duaghters" than my husband and I to our daughter.........and for one reason and one reason only - THEY don't use tobacco.<
There are a lot more people out there that agree with that position than you can imagine - and there a bunch of them right here on FR.
You should get a frikkin clue before shooting off your mouth.
