There are 76 professional sources sited in just one of my articles and I know of no reference that sites this anecdotal Cameron fellow. Let me know and if there is a bad ref I’ll knock it down to “only” 75. <BR/><BR/>I avoid anecdotal stories beyond my own prefering to site sources like Journal of American Medical; Journal of Homosexuality. We are not talking about some one individual or some boohoo story of being called, dare I say it, “gay”. These are large studies from the FBI to a host of professional peer reviewed journals that are discussing statistical deviant behaviors in Gay identifying populations– not feelings. See for yourselves at: (remove spaces)<BR/>http://peoplespassions.org/<BR/>peoplesvoice/essays/<BR/>Homosexuality_and_<BR/>Child_Sexual_Abuse.htm<BR/><BR/><BR/>I point out sites that demonstrate that homosexuality is dangerous 5 ways before you get to Sunday. <BR/>(remove spaces)<BR/>http://peoplespassions.org/<BR/>peoplesvoice/essays/<BR/>Homosexuality_is_NOT_<BR/>harmless.htm<BR/><BR/>Those giving themselves over to practicing homosexuality are about 10 time more likely than the next guy to molest a child or youth. This is not an opinion it is a fact. It’s ugly and it’s inconvenient but it is a FACT. The gay life is dangerous for the individual and the community. Wickedness never was happiness. There is no getting around that.<BR/>However there is hope and change. There is real hope for individuals caught in the trap of homosexuality. They can come out of that dark closet to a healthy heterosexual or celibate life. There is achievable lasting joy on the other side of that dark cloud.

He told this lie in order to help repeal an anti-discrimination ordinance.<BR/><BR/>Since that time, he has been rebuked, censured or dismissed from groups like the American Psychological Assocation and the American Sociological Association. <BR/><BR/>and the vague reference about European culture accepting gays, but gays are still "dangerous" do not come from legitimate sources. They are either anecdotes or convenience sample studies distorted by the religious right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347078983265612327.post-42604093752705489622008-04-13T17:38:00.000-07:002008-04-13T17:38:00.000-07:00The earth is big enough that you are guaranteed to...The earth is big enough that you are guaranteed to find a few "King" incidences of any kind of bad behavior you want against any group. Is there systemic persecution here at Mt Si worth all this hubbub? I don't think so - I have, however, seen conservative youth, including my own son, persecuted by a few bad-apple teachers. Is it systemic worthy of broad remedy? I did not demand broad remedy at the time, but I am now persuaded that CODE is right that the liberal persecution and constant pressure had reached the point where systemic remedy is demanded.<BR/><BR/>The second key point I tried to make was that remedy is generally thought appropriate for a systemic problem against a benign group, but the facts are against this. A great many of people caught up in these abhorrent lifestyles want to end their lives and that is true even in very gay friendly promoting European countries. They are 10 times as likely as a "straight" to end up molesting the next generation of children. They started and perpetuate the global HIV epidemic. Don't bother arguing that philandering heterosexuals are now "helping" perpetuate the problem - 2 wrongs do not make a right - Remember your kindergarten lessons?<BR/><BR/>Even if some few Homosexuals claim some innate propensity toward that lifestyle, for the sake of the individual and society it should be discouraged. 10% of the population is claimed to have a genetic propensity for alcoholism. Should we encourage and accept drinking and drunkenness for these individuals? Some men desire to have intimate relations with more than one woman – should society legalize and thus sanction forms of polygamy and accept adultery as natural and therefore acceptable?<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Should a particular individual be persecuted - of course not, but neither should we have school sponsored coming out parties! Should we have coming out clubs and rallies for American Indians becoming alcoholic just because some one claims they have a genetic propensity for addiction? Come on folks - get some common sense! <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>A person struggling with same sex attraction needs our loving sincere help not the equivalent of a bottle of scotch. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>PS CODE and I separate ways in that they just want the politics out and reading, Math in, whereas I believe we must explain why the school should not be acquiescing to this greasing the skids for the homosexual lifestyle.PeoplesVoicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188631761890007113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347078983265612327.post-65756532107383410092008-04-07T13:31:00.000-07:002008-04-07T13:31:00.000-07:00Food for thought: http://www.pridedepot.com/module...Food for thought: http://www.pridedepot.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=540Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347078983265612327.post-58701562550496234332008-04-05T22:26:00.000-07:002008-04-05T22:26:00.000-07:00In response to anonymous above:what does it make m...In response to anonymous above:<BR/>what does it make me? An intelligent and reasonable person who sees no reason to give any credence to the "if" portion of your tongue in cheek inanity...<BR/><BR/>Actually, the anonymous' post a demonstrate the logic used by some of the folks opposed to the day of silence.... If "A" is true (or the correct interpretation or...) then..."B"! ..the problem being, "A" is a misinterpretation, a misunderstanding, a misguided or otherwise incorrect premise; making "B" unrelated, false, misleading and not based on sound reason.<BR/><BR/>This morning and afternoon I spent quite a while at the Issaquah SD Freshman campus, as a delegate to the 5th District Democratic caucus.<BR/><BR/>There were prominent signs advertising the Day of Silence, to be observed on April 25th, there.... and I suppose at thousands of other schools nationwide. And small posters up and down the halls advertising this GSA hosted activity at the Issaquah school. <BR/><BR/>I am trying to comprehend why some of our neighbors and parents find this event, the Day of Silence, so threatening at Mt Si. I will keep trying to understand. Without name-calling or judgment. But I am truly puzzled by the persistent opposition.Jannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02575643857049284903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347078983265612327.post-33609991395380237442008-04-05T13:30:00.000-07:002008-04-05T13:30:00.000-07:00My tongue-in-cheek thought of the day.
