TVC Takes A Hard Look At APA’s Endorsement Of Homosexual Marriage
August 6, 2004 – Traditional Values Coalition Chairman Rev. Louis
P. Sheldon published a commentary
on August 3, exposing the dangerous homosexual agenda being pursued by the American
Psychological Association.
Last week, the APA endorsed homosexual marriage, homosexual adoption, and foster
parenting as a "civil rights" issue. The APA had accepted the endorsement of its
Working Group On Same-Sex Family and Relationships, which includes a deaf lesbian,
Dr. Candace McCullough.
While claiming in their report to the APA that homosexual families are no different
than heterosexual families—and that children in homosexual families are just as
normal as those in heterosexual families—McCullough’s own lesbian "family" is
a picture of dysfunction.
In 2002, McCullough and her sex partner Sharon Duchesneau, who is also deaf, were
profiled in the Washington Post. They decided to have children together
so drafted a deaf male for his sperm so Duchesneau could be artificially inseminated.
The goal was to create a deaf child. This homosexual couple eventually had two
children, Jehanne and Gauvin. Jehanne is totally deaf and Gauvin has severe hearing
loss in one ear and is deaf in the other ear.
The Post article notes that these homosexual women believe that being deaf
is not a handicap but a cultural identity like race or ethnicity. Rev. Sheldon’s
editorial
published in 2002 describes this tragedy.
The deliberate creation of deaf children by these women was defended or glossed
over in homosexual publications like The Advocate and The Gay &
Lesbian Review Worldwide, which published an article by John Corvino,
a teacher of ethics at Wayne State University on November 1, 2002. In his essay,
"Why Baby Gauvin is not a victim," criticizes Rev. Sheldon for protesting the
creation of deaf children and claims that charges of child abuse rests "on a fundamental
metaphysical confusion."
Corvino continues: "Even if one grants that deafness is a disability, it does
not follow that those who aim to produce a deaf child thereby harm the child.
In order to demonstrate that Sharon and Candy have harmed Gauvin, one would have
to show that there was something they could have done differently to prevent his
disability."
Abolish The APA’s Division 44
The American Psychological Association’s Division 44, the Society for
the Psychological Study of Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Issues, is a hotbed of homosexual/transgender
radicalism within the APA and exerts enormous influence over the organization.
It should be abolished because its materials are not science-based but are frequently
based on radical sexual liberationist philosophies and the sexual practices in
stone-age cultures.
The Division 44 newsletter reveals the bizarre agenda of the homosexuals, transgendered
psychologists, bisexuals, etc., who work on this committee and push for the "deconstruction"
of gender and the normalization of every sexual practice. The Summer,
2004, issue, for example is devoted to "transgender psychology" and features
an essay by Randall D. Ehrbar, entitled, "Cross-Cultural Examples of Gender Variance."
Ehrbar
is the head of the APA’s Division 44 Committee on Gender Identity Issues.
Ehrbar surveys a number of primitive tribes who have cross-dressers or abnormal
sexual development in their cultures and concludes that these societies are more
accepting of gender differences than our own culture. He notes, for example, that
the "acault" in Myanmar (Burma) are cross-dressing males. The primitive Buddhist/animistic
culture worships spirits known as "nats." One of these spirits is Manguedon, a
female spirit who is said to impart feminine characteristics to these acault males.
The influence of Division 44 extends into the top leadership of the APA. The President
Elect of the APA is Dr. Ronald Levant,
who is listed as a member of Division 44. He works in the Center for Psychological
Studies at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
TVC’s Homosexual Urban Legend report, "Exposed:
The Myth That Psychiatry Has Proven That Homosexual Behavior Is Normal," shows
how the psychology and psychiatry were taken over by homosexual activists. The
decision to remove homosexuality as a mental disorder from the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders was a political decision, not one based
on science.
TAKE ACTION: Contact the current head of the APA, Dr. Diane Halpern, and
ask her if she thinks it’s unethical for Dr. McCullough to have been involved
in the deliberate creation of two deaf children and if she thinks this McCullough’s
family structure is what the APA would consider a normal and emotionally healthy
family. Ask why the APA’s Division 44 exists and why the APA is allowing this
division to promote psychological theories based upon the beliefs of animistic
Buddhist tribes who worship non-existent female spirits.
Dr. Halpern’s contact information is available here: Council of Representatives
Directory. APA’s contact information is available here: APA
Online.
Write a letter to the editor of your local paper about the APA’s endorsement of
homosexual marriage and use Rev. Sheldon’s editorial as a resource for your letter
as well as this article.
