On March 30, a major Harvard-affiliated hospital in Boston, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), expelled a well-respected urologist from its medical staff because he voiced concerns about the unhealthy nature of homosexual behavior and objected to the hospitals aggressive promotion of gay pride activities.

People trust the medical profession to protect them on both the personal and public health levels. But in recent years, a nightmare has taken hold. Now, a medical doctor is being expelled from his hospital for telling the politically-incorrect truth about a serious medical issue. What you are about to read is truly Orwellian.
Dr. Paul Church has been a urologist on the BIDMC staff in Boston for nearly 30 years. He is a member of the Harvard Medical School faculty. He has done research on diagnosing prostate and bladder cancer, and has been a frequent volunteer for medical mission projects in Mexico and Africa. He has also spoken before educational and civic groups on the subject of high-risk sexual behaviors.
Over a decade ago, Dr. Church became concerned about the hospitals aggressive promotion of and involvement in LGBT activities -- including Bostons annual Gay Pride Week and its emphatic push for staff participation in them. He felt compelled to speak out.
Through emails to hospital officials and later posting on the hospitals Intranet system, Dr. Church cited irrefutable medical evidence that high-risk sexual practices common to the LGBT community lead to (among other things) a higher incidence of HIV/AIDS, STD's, hepatitis, parasitic infections, anal cancers, and psychiatric disorders.
Promoting such behavior, he said, is contrary to the higher mission of the healthcare facility to protect the public welfare and encourage healthy lifestyles. Dr. Church also reminded the administration that its staff and employees represent a diversity of moral and religious views, and many believe that homosexuality is unnatural and immoral.

The hospital did not at any time dispute the truth of his medical statements, nor did they address his other concerns.
They did not claim that Dr. Church ever discussed this with patients, or treated patients any differently if they were involved with these behaviors.
Instead Dr. Church was met with increasingly harsh efforts by the hospital administration to silence and censor him. They told him that his admonitions about homosexual behavior constituted discrimination and harassment, were offensive to BIDMC staff, and could not be tolerated.
In July 2011, he was called into the Chief of Surgerys office and told he should consider resigning or else he would face an investigation. He refused to resign. So a few months later a formal Peer Review Committee of BIDMC staff physicians was called together to assess his conduct. He again presented them with the medical facts, which they did not dispute, but ignored. The committee instead sent him a letter of reprimand ordering, You shall have no communications [in any manner, to anyone in the hospital] concerning your opinion about sexual orientation, homosexuality, or other protected status.
It was an unusual order that a physician be banned from discussing critical medical facts relating to his expertise, that could affect the health of people the hospital serves.
Dr. Church subsequently requested that the hospital not send any more promotions about LGBT activities to his email or hospital web connection. The hospital refused that request and continued sending them to him. (They rejected the idea that these communications constituted a religious-based harassment of Dr. Church, or the possibility that such a gag order was illegal.)
As the emails and postings sent to Dr. Church by the hospital grew more frequent as BIDMCs LGBT activities expanded he again voiced his concerns via a brief posted comment on one occasion in 2013 and twice in 2014.
The hospital reacted with vehemence. In September 2014 a special Investigating Committee was assembled to investigate him. Charges were brought against him.
But also, over the next few months the Investigating Committee and BIDMCs president received an outpouring of letters from colleagues, ethicists, public health experts, and others supporting Dr. Church and his advocacy for healthy behaviors. But the committee was not moved by the concerns of Dr. Church or those who wrote letters on his behalf.
In January 2015 the Investigating Committee submitted its findings to the hospitals highest body and most prominent group, the 25-member Medical Executive Committee, which then met in February to decide on Dr. Church's fate. At the meeting they allowed Dr. Church to read a statement defending himself.
On March 30, 2015, the Medical Executive Committee announced its decision. Dr. Church was informed that because of his unsolicited views about homosexuality that were offensive to BIDMC Staff, he was being terminated from the hospital staff. Further, he was told that that his statements on the subject of homosexuality were inconsistent with the established standards of professional conduct and constituted a violation of the hospitals Discrimination and Harassment Policy. It was beyond belief.

According to the hospitals bylaws, Dr. Church can ask for an appeal hearing, which he has done. It has been scheduled for the end of July. However, it is not a legal process per se, but completely run by hospital rules. Dr. Church can at least be accompanied by an attorney, which was not allowed in any of the previous hearings.
Given the way the hospital has handled this so far, the odds of a successful appeal are not good.

Dr. Church has essentially done what virtually no one in the pro-family establishment has been willing to do for at least a decade: unflinchingly tell the medical and moral truth about homosexual behavior. In our opinion, that failure is the main reason why we have lost so much ground in the courts, the public forum, and just about everywhere else.
And this is what its come to. The insanity of this decision by a major hospital against a respected physician is staggering. It is one thing for the education system, big business, or even government to succumb to the lunacy of political correctness. But when the medical profession do so especially such an irrational and oppressive manner it is time for all of us to be fearful. Is this the future?
If you do nothing else, make sure that Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center hears from you and as many others as you can get -- on this. Dr. Church has put his career on the line for all of us. Its time for us to step up for him.
Contact the president of BIDMC right now. Tell him this is an unacceptable way for a hospital to act. Dr. Church must be reinstated to his position immediately!

Apparently the bashing wasn’t strong enough.
I would suggest a trip to the Texas Medical Center could be quite profitable for the good doctor.
He will be welcome here in Houston.
All “Gender” Theory is a made-up Marxist construct to destroy identity and particularly Christianity which created for the first time in human history—Individualism. That every person is unique and special which led to a sort of rugged Individualism in America and the greatest concept of Natural Law-—that our Individual Natural Rights come from God. First time a people had such Freedom in Western Civilization-—away from centralized control.
Collectives have to destroy Individualism and it starts by conditioning young children to be dependent-—never take risks-—be monitored every single second, sit in front of screens to destroy mapping and integration of the brain. Remove young children from parents who teach true self-reliance and self-esteem by human interactions and teaching children Real Life skills and showing you care and they are special to you. Institutions dehumanize the children and foster group think or self-hate....because if they don’t fit in they know something is wrong with them if they don’t “thinK” the same.
All other cultures are collective (socialist) and dependency was learned by the children in all such cultures. The Germans (Wundt/Fichte) developed this “system” (Germanizaion) to destroy Free Will (choice) in children and make them dependent-—it is all about creating a artificial reality to destroy Individuality. Sex identity has to be destroyed-—the idea of male and female erased so all males and females are interchangeable. This removes all biological attachments so the State can control every idea that a child is given-—total Mind Control and a Planned Society. No Freedom can exist-—NONE (except for the elites who run the show and design all the programming).
Gender theory was invented by a “homosexual” when that word was coined in the 1800s to posit the concept in people-—make it a “normal” lifestyle. Homosexual cultures existed since before Ancient Greece-—like the Spartans. But the boys always had to be trained and groomed for the lifestyle. Same with the Samurai and the Afghanis today. Pederasty is the main part of a homosexual culture. Always is-—that is because of the fixation in an immature stage-—they need to recreate the emotions of their “first” sex experience which is usually in childhood for homosexuals.
It is too long to go into -—but the concept is to control the Words/Language and you can make Evil into Good or Good into Evil-—just by Language if you posit the ideas into children. For 30 years the schools have taught “Pride in anal Sex” to our children. They have normalized sodomy—read Shades of Grey-—it is homoerotica.—normalixing sodomy for women-—like Deep Throat did.
The Marxists took the Language and permeated it throughout Culture and destroyed the meaning of Words-—like “liberty” and “progressive” and “family” and “capitalism” and “Marriage”-——They destroyed the meaning of “Justice” (the Queen of Virtue) and made it literally into a Vice. Lust is Love. Slavery is Freedom (Obamacare, Common core).
It is to create emotional, puerile, irrational adults so Reason and Logic can’t exist.
They controlled education since the Socialist John Dewey and posited ideas (Freudian/sexualization) and Malthusian Darwinian ideas——so that emotions are tied to concepts: Christians are bigots. You are evil if you have more than two children. You are evil if you are a Capitalist...and they connect images with the concepts and music.
They have literally destroyed the Moral Code for a Satanic, irrational pagan moral code.
Caligula was a very evil “transgendered” and Nero used to castrate and marry little boys and his homosexual buddies in “plays”. This whole gender thing is making Evil into Good and it is literally creating totally insane and irrational people who only “feel” and can never use their brain the way God designed it.
In Europe they are not allowing parents to tell their little children if they are male or female-—they call them “it”.
It is to totally destroy the concept of Identity so that all unique characterisstic and natural instincts (and Logic and Reason) are totally destroyed in these children. They will be useful idiots for the elites to control.....no desire for Individualism—autonomy-—all wiped right out of them. All insane.....really.
All Marxist Theory is for the total dehumanization of man-—total destruction of the family and Individualism—male and female included..
This is the USA in 2015. There is no freedom of speech and you get fired for saying facts. Political correctness has taken over all aspect of life and overrules health, safety, fairness, science and reason.
The Spartans, yes-—but homosexual cultures are brutal, not necessarily “screaming”. They use boys for sex and are sexist and will brutalize women and children (like the homosexual muslims)-—but when an adult, the Spartans discourage taking the “female” position. (They hated the effete males). it is why boys are always essential to the macho homosexuals and why they have such desires-—they are trained and groomed-—all homosexuals groom the children. That is why we have “Pride” Days for anal sex..
The Athenians detested the Spartan lifestyles——which took boys from the Natural Family at age 7 to sodomize and train for military. Very similar to the Afgahnis today-—except the boys are trained to dance like girls (and probably scream) and are lavished with gifts if they are really handsome. They of course, sodomize adults and boys and goats-—not quite like the Spartans who would have frowned on the goats and macho males pretending to be women.
The Athenians actually protected their sons from the faggots-—they even put guards around them if they had to stay in barracks, etc. The Athenians created the Stoic Worldview-—which believed in controlling base instincts and not raping all the boys. Although they saw nothing particularly wrong with old men and young boys——it was “training” after all. Homosexuality is a learned behavior-—by child abuse and neglect actually. All unnatural desires are learned in childhood-—liek the desire for goats.
All the homosexual “Gender Theory” is pure Marxism and created by the Germans in the 1800s when the word was coined to normalize sodomy again-—since Christianity make it “Evil”. Marxists need to destroy Virtue and Reason in children so they can create chaos and get tyranny. Vice makes Slavers..
Oceano has always been at war with Eastasia, always.
It will only get worse.
Much worse.
By con-sin-cuss vote, at our highest court, the science on this has been settled. Gay is now OK.
“The truth shall set you free”.......unless you are a citizen living in a fascist state.
What an absurdly silly statement!
Might that be republicans specifically?
In my universe, the ones embracing violence or vandalism to express dissent are the liberals, the dopesters, the progressives and the "privileged."
Never saw a car keyed or otherwise vandalized because it had an Obam bumper sticker on it.
On the other hand...
Racism, unexpressed physically or vocally has to be protected speech or protected thought.
"Being or feeling offended" and physically lashing out are the inventions of very feeble or diseased minds.
and so the purge begins.
No dissent allowed.
Obey or pay...
You sound like Michael Berry did today
I think marriage is between a man and a woman
I think this will be used to weaken true churches and beat folks into submission like race has
But I too think not every homosexual is John Wayne Gacy nor an activist
But it’s like with Islam....the reasonable ones need the Out Magazine neurotic sickos to shut the eff up
The purge of the South this week is equally or more disturbing
You can see what they really want now and Vichy GOP will help as collaborators
This is without question the worst political week of my 58 years
Yet some here celebrate the rape of Southern History
They are such fools......my history down here is just the appetizer on the road to eradicating any vestige of white privilege ...homosexual marriage forced on us is a launching pad to criminalizing Doctrinaire Christianity
But yes I too know ok homosexuals including one in my extended family
Small good that does In the wake of this tsunami
Ehhhhhhh...it sounds like the doctor pushed all the wrong buttons instead of just presenting his findings in a cold, clear, medical manner. In other words he could have merely reported instead of advocating...after awhile he simply pissed everybody off.

Fortunately the homo parade photos did not load. Don't ever want to look them, especially after one of the worst days in the nation's history, the day it was declared we are the U.S. of Gay.

What an absolute stinking steaming crock. Words fail me.
Advocating that the law should define marriage in the manner that voters overwhelming prefer is "bashing"?? Voting is "settling things with their fists"??
You are hereby a nominee in the category of most asinine, lie-filled post of the year. You must be full of "pride" tonight.
Whoa right there with this crap. Pointing out the unnatural nature of the practice, that it is condemned in scripture, and that it is the vector for everything from psychological problems to AIDS isn't "bashing" unless you would defend without reservation a behaviour pattern which is notorious for self-destruction.
Conservatives have far too often settled things with their fists and in this case we reap what we have sown.
Considering the potential for lethal blood-borne pathogen transfer in a good fistfight, I would never knowingly use my fists against a homosexual unless it was a situation where I had no option but to defend my own life. Regardless of reason, most Conservatives would not resort to physical violence against others were it not absolutely necessary.
You know in your bones what Im talking about.
The only thing I know in my bones is the occcasional weather front moving in.
Dont think that the radical left has any monopoly on thuggery. You think the ass kicking were getting these days is the fault of someone else? Time to own it. You need to ask yourself what it means to live in the Information Age.
Putting all that together, it means we live in a time where more bullshit can be spewed by more people (or made to appear to have been spewed) at a faster rate with wider dissemination than ever before. Quantity should never be confused with quality, and while "information" is more available than ever, most of the signal is noise.
The unscrupulous, however, can spread more nonsense faster than it can be refuted..
