From the faulty premise that homosexuals are born that way, flow a number of
other equally flawed assumptions. Two of these are: That society must encourage
and protect individuals who think they were "born gay"; and that those
who oppose homosexual behavior are mentally unstable (homophobic) and are trying
to force homosexuals to deny their genetic destinies.
"The Innate-Immutable Argument Finds No Basis in Science," by Drs.
A. Dean Byrd, Shirley Cox, and Jeffrey W. Robinson, quotes one of the most vocal
homosexual researchers Dean Hamer who noted: "Homosexuality is not purely
genetic ? environmental factors play a role. There is not a single master
gene that makes people gay. . . . I don't think we will ever be able to predict
who will be gay."
Homosexual researcher Simon LeVay who studied hypothalmic differences between
the brains of heterosexuals and homosexuals, has noted: "I didn't show
that gay men are born that way, the most common mistake people make in interpreting
my work. Nor did I locate a gay center in the brain."
Camille Paglia, a lesbian activist has had the courage to boldly state what
most homosexuals refuse to admit: "Homosexuality is not 'normal.' On the
contrary, it is a challenge to the norm?Nature exists whether academics
like it or not. And in nature, procreation is the single relentless rule. That
is the norm. Our sexual bodies were designed for reproduction?No one is
born gay. The idea is ridiculous?homosexuality is an adaptation, not an
inborn trait?."
Homosexual activists, of course, claim that their behavior is "normal"
and that's why the American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed homosexuality
as a Gender Identity Disorder in 1973. What they fail to admit, however, is
that homosexual activists literally terrorized the APA into removing homosexuality
as a disorder. Homosexual scientist Simon LeVay admits this. He notes: "Gay
activism was clearly the force that propelled the APA to declassify homosexuality."
Whether homosexual behavior is normal and genetic is a significant issue under
debate in American culture today. Congress is stampeding to pass "hate
crime" and "non-discrimination" laws providing special rights
for homosexuals; school textbook writers are producing pro-homosexual materials
for elementary school children; Hollywood is openly promoting homosexuality
and cross-dressing; and liberal church leaders are blessing homosexual "unions"-all
under the false premise that homosexuality is a positive, normal, and genetically-based
lifestyle.
Our lawmakers, media elites, school officials, and church leaders would do well
to study the scholarly research provided by NARTH (www.narth.com)
on this important social movement-before they continue to homosexualize our culture-and
to punish those who oppose homosexual behavior as a sexual perversion and sin.
