Gay Rights Strategies Involve Conscious Deception And Wholesale Manipulation of Public Opinion
Oh, really. It will be interesting to see the context in which she used it. Got a link?
I am expecting you to provide it, since you said you already discovered it.
universal diagnosis of "pathology."
a) "Natural" is not determined by what you want sexually, but by how you function sexually.
1. The body was built to function a specific way.
2. Men were not built to function sexually with men.
b) Natural desires go with natural functions. The passion that exchanges the natural function of sex for the unnatural function is what Paul calls a degrading passion.
c) Jesus clarified the natural, normal relationship:
1. Matthew 19:4-5 "Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female and said 'For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave to his wife and the two shall become one flesh [sexual intercourse].'?"
2. The desire is unnatural because it abandons the natural function.
a. Extramarital heterosexual sex is wrong because it exploits a natural function in an immoral way.
b. Homosexuality is worse because it's an immoral act based on the perversion of a natural function.

Why Isn't Homosexuality Considered A Disorder On The Basis Of Its Medical Consequences? A departure or deviation from a normal condition:
....studies also show that male homosexual pedophiles are sexually attracted to adult males and engage in sexual relations with adult homosexuals. W. L. Marshall, et al., "Sexual Offenders against Male Children: Sexual Preferences," p. 383; W. L. Marshall, et al., "Early Onset and Deviant Sexuality in Child Molesters," Journal of Interpersonal Violence 6 (1991): 323-336
New Study Confirms Homosexuality Can Be Overcome
In 1973--under intense pressure from gay socio-political activists, and without scientific evidence--the American Psychiatric Association voted to remove homosexuality from its Diagnostic Manual, and effectively silenced professional discussion of homosexuality as a disorder. Although modern psychology had considered the condition pathological for over 100 years, and all cultures have considered it deviant throughout recorded history, the official view of homosexuality changed overnight.
If you can read above grade school level, you have no excuse for your deceptive and feeble response.
First of all, it is plain as day that Laura Schlessinger did not write the aforementioned article -- excerpts of the commentary (written by Dr. Gerald Rowles, Ph.D) were included in her newsletter.
Secondly, Dr. Rowles' editorial does not deal with Michael Swift's stomach-churning homoerotic fantasy in the least; he is narrowly focused on the ridiculous study Deconstructing The Essential Father, which took aim at "neoconservative" ideas about the nuclear family. It concluded that not only is the father's importance to the family vastly overrated, but because of alleged tendencies toward violence, gambling, and -- get this -- smoking, fathers may do children more harm than good. On the other hand, two lesbian "mothers" were better for children than a married mother and father, the authors suggested.
Finally, there is a link to the DA*DI site's reprinting of Gay Revolutionary as a sidebar to Rowley's article. The webmaster doesn't suggest that the reprint is due to its enclosure in Dr. Laura's newsletter, and the page on which it is fully published cites the source thusly: "Reprinted from The Congressional Record. First printed in Gay Community News, February 15-21 1987."
So your attempt to slime Dr. Laura has failed, foiled by the truth. I knew that she had never cited Gay Revolutionary because what she has to say about homosexuality has never been hysterical and hateful, like Fred Phelps' rantings and ravings. There is no logical comparison of the two to be made -- they are a study in contrasts.
By stretching the truth to make Dr. Laura seem like a bigot, you have proved yourself to be no different than lying weasels like John Aravosis, Michelangelo Signorile, Cathy Renna and others who know that Dr. Laura is not guilty of "hate" -- she's only guilty of being in the way of implementation of pro-homo agendas in courthouses, legislatures, and most of all, public schools.

A small bit of coroborating (sp?) evidence - unfortunately, no quotes at the moment..
1. Having been a student of Ayruveda for years (the ancient healing science of India), I have learned the following. According to this very old medical tradition, homosexual behavior is extremely mentally and emotionally disturbing as well as very damaging to the physical health. Excessive or unnatural sexual behavior is considered to destroy the natural vitality of the body, rendering it more susceptible to disease. Oral and anal sex as well as masturbation are considered very unhealthy, and those who indulge in same are much more prone to mental and emotional disturbances as well as physical illness.
My husband has studied various Chinese martial arts, and in his books I have read that Chinese Taoist masters consider homosexual acts to promote aggressive, violent behavior, mental imbalance, and even psychosis.
So condemnation of homosexual behavior is not limited to Western civilization!
