Homosexual Myths

Peter and Paul Ministries

Myth #1:
10% Of The Population Is Homosexual.

Fact: New research found only (1%) of males are homosexual and numerous recent studies report woman have about as half of the male prevalence rate (.5%). Not one study after 1960 has revealed any data that supports the 10% theory.

Fact: This "10%" fraud began in 1948 with the Alfred Kinsey Report. Alfred Kinsey was a homosexual and pedophile. He wished to promote his perverted life style. So he used data from a sample of interviewees who were prisoners and sex offenders in order to support the 10% myth. "Kinsey, Sex and Fraud" (1995) Reisman, Judith; Eichel, Edward "Kinsy:Crimes and Cosequences" Dr. Judith Reisman

Facts:
1)The Alan Guttmacher Institute published in Family Planning Perspectives (March/April 1993) found less than 2% of males had experienced a homosexual relationship in the past ten years and only 1% had exclusively homosexual relationships.
2)The University of Chicago’s Nation Research Corp. (NORC) survey reported 0.7% as having exclusively homosexual relationships and 2.2% experienced homosexual relationship the previous 10 years.
3)U.S. Census Bureau, less than 2% reported even incidental homosexual behavior for men.
4)The Morton-Hunt study found that about 1% of males and .5% of females are homosexual.

Fact: Homosexual leaders now admit that they knowingly exploited the inaccurate 10% myth in order to impose their lifestyle upon the American people. Tom Stoddard, a militant leader in the homosexual movement, told Newsweek in February 1993, "We used that figure when most gay people were entirely hidden to try to create an impression of our numerousness."

Silicon Graphics Same sex partners 0.4

Myth #2:
People Are Born Homosexual.

Response: Homosexuals have used many tactics to convince naive people that their disorder is genetic and not one of personal choice. They will even pose this convoluted question to perplex their critics, “Why would one choose to be gay and suffer the condemnation of society? One must respond, why would a person partake in prostitution, rape, pornography, or pedophilia when it is not only socially unacceptable but a criminal offense? People choose to be moral or immoral. Can one imagine the absurdity if a man accused of sodomizing young boys stood before a court of law and used as his defense that his behavior was not his choice but genetic.

Fact: There is no biological, hormonal, or genetic evidence to substantiate this claim. There has never been confirmed evidence of the existence of a "homosexual gene." Doctors have NO test which will tell them if a person is a homosexual or not. The idea of people being born homosexual is a myth developed by the media and the homosexual movement in order to receive sympathy and acceptance. We suggest: John Harvey’s The Truth About Homosexuality in order to get a better understanding of the research in this area.

Fact: Studies from universities such as, John Hopkins Schools of Medicine and Albert Einstein School of Medicine point to environmental factors as major cause of homosexuality. Specifically, a child’s perception of family dynamics, a traumatized condition such as, rape, abuse or other traumatic events may cause gender identity conflict.

Fact:Dr. Elizabeth Moberly (Cambridge) notes several factors frequently present in homosexual development: Abuse, either physical or sexual (85-90% of all lesbians have been victims of sexual abuse). Traumatic family upheaval at critical periods in the child's life. Rebellion--need to defy authority (parents, society).

Fact: The strongest evidence that the homosexual drive is not congenital is that thousands are denying it, and leaving homosexuality for the normal heterosexual lifestyle.

Myth #3:
Homosexuals Cannot Change.

Fact: It is a fact that many who have practiced homosexuality leave their way of life and become normal heterosexuals.

Fact: Dr. Robert Spitzer, the instrumental figure in the American Psychiatric Association’s 1973 decision to remove homosexuality from its diagnostic manual of mental disorders, has announced a new study that has altered his beliefs on the issue. Spitzer, said “I thought that homosexual behavior could be resisted, but sexual orientation could not be changed. I now believe that’s untrue, some people can and do change.” [CWNews.com/LSN.ca]

Fact: Dr. Charles Socarides has treated over 1000 people who have be engaging in homosexual activities. Of those, 50% stopped homosexual behavior through therapy, 25% stopped on their own and 25% were too psychologically damaged to receive treatment.

Fact: A number of international organizations and counseling services have helped thousands of homosexuals leave the lifestyle, including Regeneration, Exodus International, Beyond Rejection, Homosexuals Anonymous, and Courage.

Myth #4:
Homosexuals Are Monogamous.

Fact: Homosexuals are not monogamous. The average homosexual has at least 24 sex partners during a one year period. In 1994 the largest gay magazine reported that only 17% of its sample reported a monogamous relationship that lasted over one year. A study in 1994 conducted in San Francisco found only 14% of the homosexuals interviewed just had one sexual partner in the previous year.

Fact: Two homosexual market researchers admit that the gay male "cheating ratio" approaches 100 %. (Kirk and Madsen, in their noted 1989 book After the Ball).

Fact: Homosexuals in self described "committed" relationships are notoriously promiscuous. A study of male homosexual relationships reported in The Male Couple found that none of the relationships lasting more than five years were monogamous.

Fact: In Male and Female Homosexuality, M. Saghir and E. Robins found that the average homosexual relationship lasts between two and three years.

Myth #5:
Homosexuals Do Not Enjoy Rights Like Other Citizens.

Response: As Americans, homosexuals are entitled to equal rights, not special rights. Their behavior based lifestyle does not qualify for privileged minority status under the U.S. law. All individuals; good, bad, homosexual, or whatever, are protected under the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. As a class, the courts have repeatedly denied homosexuals their claim to "insular and discreet" minority status, quotas and affirmative action. Homosexuality is a behavior, not a race. Homosexuality is defined by the act of sodomy (sex with members of the same sex). Homosexuals fight for protection by drawing an analogy between themselves and African Americans before the civil rights movement, and by presenting themselves as severely persecuted. Is the analogy reasonable? People of color cannot abandon their color the way many homosexuals have abandoned their perverse lifestyle. Protection of homosexuals is based on behavior held as immoral by the majority of people. An African American or a Caucasian can be either morally upright or morally corrupt; a practicing homosexual seeks social sanction of inherently illicit activities, not of an immutable or constitutionally recognized trait.

IN ORDER FOR A GROUP TO MEET MINORITY STATUES ACCORDING
TO UNITED STATES LAW THEY MUST MEET THREE QUALIFICATIONS.
HOMOSEXUALS DO NOT FULFILL ANY OF THEM!

1. The class must have suffered a history of discrimination which is evidenced by the lack of ability to obtain economic mean income, adequate education and be deprived of cultural opportunities.

Table 2. The Wall Street Journal reported the results of a nationwide marketing study
about discrimination. The results prove homosexuals have not been discriminated against.
Issue Black Americans Homosexual Americans
Average Household Income$12,166 $55,430
% College Grads 5% 60%
% Management 1% 49%
Taken Overseas Vacation 1% 66%
Refused the Right to Vote Yes No
Legally Segregated Yes No
Legally Denied Access to Public Bathrooms Yes No
Legally Denied Access to Business Yes No

2. The class must exhibit obvious, immutable or distinguishable characteristics that define them as an insular and discrete group.
**There is no way distinguish a homosexual from a heterosexual. There has never been confirmed evidence of the existence of a "homosexual gene."

3. The class must show they are politically powerless.
** In 1992 election, homosexual activists donated $3.4 million to President Clinton’s campaign and supplied many other campaigns with volunteers and contributions.

Myth #6:
The Majority Of Psychiatrists View Homosexuality As Normal.

Fact: It is clear that the change in the APA designation was not due to new findings, but had everything to do with the lobbying pressure and tactics of the homosexual community. When the change was made, only one quarter of the proposed members of the APA voted on the proposed change.

Fact: Despite the official position of the APA duly confirmed by a membership vote, a significant number of psychiatrists did not agree with it. A survey taken four years after the APA decision by the journal Medical Aspects of Human Sexuality found that 69% of responding psychiatrists agreed that, “homosexuality is usually a pathological adaptation, as opposed to a normal variation.”

Fact: Dr. Robert Spitzer, the instrumental figure in the American Psychiatric Association’s 1973 decision to remove homosexuality from its diagnostic manual of mental disorders, has announced a new study that has altered his beliefs on the issue. Spitzer said,“I thought that homosexual behavior could be resisted, but sexual orientation could not be changed. I now believe that’s untrue, some people can and do change.” Spitzer presented his study recently at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association. [CWNews.com/LSN.ca] Richard Isay, M.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Cornell Medical College and chair of APA's Committee on Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Issues, Stated that there is a "continuing conviction among most, although not all, dynamically oriented psychiatrists in general and psychotherapists in particular, that homosexuality can and should be changed to heterosexuality....".

Myth #7:
Homosexuals Practice A Healthy Lifestyle.

Fact: Published studies by gay researchers (The Gay Report, Jay and Young, Summit Books) showed 98% of homosexuals practice dangerous and bizarre sexual activities. Many studies support the clinical view that homosexuality is a disorder with extremely compulsive, highly reckless, and self destructive. Many therapists view this addiction, like others, as being driven by numerous emotional conflicts. In many individuals their homosexual behavior is frequently preceded by the use of alcohol or drugs. Read Michael Warners " Why Gay Men Are Having Risky Sex” Newsweek Sept. 19,1994,The Advocate Aug. 1994.J Grudel “ Homosexuality; Fact or Fiction”

Fact: Homosexual men live an average of 40 years, compared to the general male standard of 70+. Lesbian life expectancy is 45 years, compared to a heterosexual woman's 76 year.(CDC)

Fact: AIDS is contagious almost exclusively through behavior, and modification of that behavior can reduce future AIDS cases virtually to zero without another penny spent on research and without a single medical breakthrough.

Table 3. Survey in the United kingdom in 2001.
The table shows the percentage of people reporting a STD
to a clinic by number of sexual partners they had encountered.
Number of sexual partners 1 2 3-4 5-9
Male Heterosexual 1.7 2.8 3.8 7.8
Male Homosexual 20.3 15.1 33.9 44.3
Female Heterosexual 1.3 2.4 6.1 12.2
Female Homosexual 27.9 16.9 32.7 26.6

Table 4. The Center for Disease Control(CDC) found that male homosexuals contract
the following diseases more frequently than heterosexuals by the following multiples:
Syphilis - 14 times
Gonorrhea - 3 times
Genital warts - 3 times
Hepatitis B - 8 times
Scabies - 5 times
Penile infection - 30 times
Anal Infection - 100 times
AIDS - 5000 times

Myth #8:
Homosexuals Are No Threat To Minors.

Fact: In The Gay Report, by homosexual researchers Karla Jay and Allen Young, the authors report data showing that 73 percent of homosexuals surveyed had at some time had sex with boys sixteen to nineteen years of age or younger. ( K. Jay and A. Young 1979)

Fact: Homosexuals account for 30 - 40% of all molestation's of minors in any given year. If 1% - 3% of the population is responsible for over 1/3 of sexual crimes against minors, something must be desperately wrong with this group. (Freund and Watson, 1992) which was reported in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, NARTH)

Fact: Homosexual males are more likely to engage in sex with minors: in fact, they appear to be three times more likely than straight men to engage in adult child sexual relations. NARTH's Executive Director Dr. Joseph Nicolosi, for example, says "that about one third of his 400 adult homosexual clients said they had experienced some form of homosexual abuse before the age of consent, but only two of those cases had been reported."

Fact: In 1990 the largest Dutch gay organization (the COC) achieved a significant victory: lowering of the age of consent for homosexual sex in Holland to 12 (unless the parents object, in which case it goes up to 15). Homosexual groups in England recently lobbied and were successful in changing the legal age of consent from 18 to 16. Gay and Lesbian Associations around the world have also succeeded in lowering the age of consent in, Canada 14, Denmark 15, France 15, Spain 13, Germany 14, Japan 13, Israel 16, Costa Rica to 15, Colombia and Paraguay to 14, and in Argentina to 12. If adult homosexuals are not interested in minors why would they want the age of consent lowered? Source: Human Life International

Fact: If homosexuals are not interested in minors, why would Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund , a gay law firm, sue the Boy Scouts of America in order to have openly gay men as scout leaders? Why would books such as, Heather Has Two Mommies and Daddy’s Roommate along with videos such as, "It Is elementary" that normalize homosexuality be produced for children? Why would a pro homosexual organization such as Planned Parenthood produce a sex education curriculum such as SIECUS which gives instruction in the homosexual lifestyle?

Fact: The homosexual threat to minors was in full view nearly three decades ago, with the release of the 1972 Gay Rights Platform. Activists in Chicago, representing the fledgling homosexual movement, demanded the “repeal of all state laws prohibiting private sexual acts involving consenting persons,” and the “repeal of all laws governing the age of sexual consent.”

Fact: A study in Adolescence found that "29% of the adult children of homosexual parents had been specifically subjected to sexual molestation by that homosexual parent, compared to only 0.6% of adult children of heterosexual parents. … Having a homosexual parent(s) appears to increase the risk of incest with a parent by a factor of about 50." Homosexual Parenting: Placing Children at Risk Issue No.: 238 by: Tim Dailey, Ph. D. Source(Family Research Council)

Fact: Organizations such as the North American Man Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) lobby for the elimination of age-of-consent laws. (NAMBLA) is endorsed by the homosexual movement. It should also be recalled that a major "right" claimed by many--though not all--homosexuals is that of sexual relations with persons of any age is ok. “No Place for Homo-Homophobia", San Francisco Sentinel (a gay publication), March 26, 1992.

(THE WORDS OF HOMOSEXUALS TELL HOW THEY ARE A THREAT TO MINORS)

**** Dan Savage, columnist for the homosexual magazine Out, stated that he lives near a park where some local high school soccer teams practice. “Some of the boys are really something else, and during practice they play shirts and skins. Any gay man who tells you he can walk by a boy’s soccer team without looking is a liar…,” “Homosexuality and Child Molestation:” Ed Vitagliano

***Carl Maves writing in The Advocate, another magazine for homosexuals, wrote, “How many gay men, I wonder, would have missed out on a valuable, liberating experience – one that initiated them into their sexuality – if it weren’t for so-called molestation?”"Getting Over It" in The Advocate, May 5, 1992.

***The San Francisco Sentinel, a Bay Area gay activist newspaper, published a piece arguing that pedophilia is central to male homosexual life."No Place for Homo-Homophobia", San Francisco Sentinel (a gay publication), March 26, 1992.

Myth #9:
Homosexuality Is Okay Because
Many Homosexuals Claim To Be Happy.

Response: Alcoholics are happy to drink. Bank robbers are happy to steal. The question should be, "What is right?" not, "What makes me happy?"

Fact: Many studies support the clinical view that homosexuality is a disorder which is extremely compulsive, highly reckless, and destructive. Many therapists view this addiction, like others, as being driven by numerous emotional conflicts. In many individuals their homosexual behavior is frequently preceded by the use of alcohol or drugs. Read Michael Warners “ Why Gay Men Are Having Risky Sex” Newsweek Sept. 19,1994,The Advocate Aug. 1994.J Grudel “ Homosexuality; Fact or Fiction”

Myth #10:
Homosexuals Should Be Allowed
To Marry Because They Love Each Other.

Fact: If marriage is simply an emotional commitment and a forum for selfish sex devoid of any potential or desire for procreation, why should homosexual unions based upon the perversion of sodomy be denied legal recognition? The answer to this question is, sodomy is an abomination. It offers no positive benefit to society only pain and suffering. Marriage between a man and woman makes the world go around and is society's fundamental building block. Procreation and the care of children are the primary reasons societies have in the past sanctioned heterosexual marriage and invested in those unions by granting specific legal and financial benefits. Study after study has proven children thrive best in a household with both mother and father. A society which does away with traditional values experiences chaos, increased violence, deviant sexual behavior, and a general lowering of morality. "Marriage Matters: Observations on the Current 'State of Affairs'" Ken Connor, "Homosexuality and Children Volume No.: 15 Issue No.: 5" Tim Dailey, Ph. D., et al., "Homosexual Parenting: Placing Children at Risk Issue No.: 238" Tim Dailey, Ph. D. (Family Research Council)

Response: Exceptions make bad law. Race car champion Mario Andretti could safely drive 175 mph on a freeway, but does this mean we should abolish speed limits for him and everyone else? If gays are allowed to marry because "they love each other," we would have to grant the same right to those who wanted to engage in polygamous or incestuous marriages on the grounds that "they love each other."

Myth #11:
Fixed Homosexual Behavior In The Animal Kingdom.

Fact: Homosexuality (A fixed, exclusive orientation toward the same sex) has never been observed among higher animals. "The Gay Lie" (1996) Joseph Nicolosi, Ph.D.President NARTH, Human Life International

Fact: The homosexual community seizes upon scanty evidence to justify something because they want it justified, not because they've examined the evidence carefully. They'll say animals practice homosexuality. How do they know that? Because they have seen male animals mounting other males, smelling each others rectums, or licking each others genital area. They will exclaim, “See? It's obvious: homosexuality is natural.” First, one must remember animals such as dogs also mount sofas, trees, and even your the leg. This is not homosexual behavior but this is auto-eroticism. Second, the only way one could show this behavior was homosexual is if one could demonstrate that the animal was desiring the male gender of the animal he was mounting. One can't conclude from the observed activity alone that any animal has homosexual desires. This is just another example of a hasty judgment. Third, animals either in playful antics, stressful conditions such as captivity, or in dominance behavior to assert hierarchy engage in perceived homosexual behavior. Male animals mount other males in a a very powerful way to communicate a higher position in the "pecking order". Fourth, every time you bring a female which is in heat into a situation, suddenly the male-male behavior is abandoned in favor of the female. "People Believe What They Want", Gregory Koukl

Response: Animals sometimes kill their young, roll in or eat excrement, have intercourse with numerous partners, and some engage in cannibalism. Man knows right from wrong and is not on the same level with the animal kingdom.

Response: If there were genuinely homosexual lions prowling the Serengheti or homosexual mountain gorillas gorging on bamboo, you can be sure we would have seen them in action on public television.

Myth #12:
Homosexual Sex Is Ok.

Fact: Sigmund Freud stated," It is characteristic common to all perversions that in them reproduction as an aim is put aside. This is actually the criterion by which we judge whether a sexual activity is perverse - if it departs from reproduction in its aims and pursues the attainment of gratification independently. "

Fact: The overwhelming majority of male homosexual partake in anal intercourse. What most people don't know is the rectum has only a single cell wall and has no natural lubricant; on the other hand the vagina has a wall that is forty cells thick and has natural exertions to facilitate intercourse. The thin wall of the anus is not designed for sexual activity and this is why homosexuals contract HIV and other infections so easily.

Table 5. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) conducted
a study in 1987 about homosexual sex practices and found the following:
98% report anal sexual relations.
92% report oral/anal sexual activity.
78% report participating in group sex.
73% of adult male homosexuals have had sex with boys age 19 or younger.
42% report "fisting" where the hand or arm is inserted into the rectum of their partner.
37% report sadomasochism.
32% report bondage.
29% report urinating on or in their partners.
17% report eating and/or rubbing themselves with the feces of their partners.
15% report sex with animals.
12% report giving or receiving of enemas for sexual pleasure.

Fact: Richard Wetzel, M.D. States - "Genital anal intercourse is the sex act most often associated with the gay lifestyle. It is an accepted norm among essentially all gay, yet it is unhealthy, it is unnatural, and most people consider it to be offensive. Anal sex is unhealthy. Aside from sexually transmitted diseases, these acts lead to many other medical conditions including Gay Bowel Syndrome, hepatitis A, unusual infections of the epididymis, and other disorders of the anus and surrounding muscles such as fissures. Homosexuals who practice anal intercourse are as much as eighty-four times more likely to develop anal cancer than the general population. Anal sex is unnatural. It obviously is traumatic to the anus, which simply is not made to accommodate the male organ. Not only does the anus have no natural lubrication, but it is clearly the wrong size for genital contact. As evidence of this, consider the difference in size of the speculum and the anoscope. The speculum, which the physician places inside the woman during a gynecological exam, is roughly the size and shape of the erect male organ. The anoscope, used to examine the anus, is half the diameter of the speculum - more similar in size to an adult forefinger. Any physician who would be foolish enough to attempt to examine a patient's anus with a speculum would quickly realize how unpopular that move would be. The act of anal sex is analogous to cleaning excrement from a bedpan with one's bare hands. Feces is unhealthy to handle and can lead to illness. Furthermore, gay sexual behaviors often go well beyond anal intercourse. For example, most gays actually put fingers and hands into each others' anuses and touch each others' anuses with their mouths and tongues."SEXUAL WISDOM A Guide for Parents, Young Adults, Educators and Physicians." Proctor Publications,Richard Wetzel, M.D.

Myth #13:
Domestic Violence is Low in Homosexual Relationships.

Fact: The book, Men Who Beat the Men Who Love Them, reports that "the incidence of domestic violence among gay men is nearly double that in the heterosexual population." A study in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence found that 90 percent of the lesbians surveyed were the victims of verbal aggression from their intimate partners during the year prior to the study, with 31 percent reporting one or more incidents of physical abuse.

Fact: The greatest threat to homosexuals is other homosexuals. In 1997, the gay National Coalition of Anti Violence Projects (NCVAP) found 3,327 cases of gay domestic violence—a number that dwarfed the FBI’s number of anti-gay violent crimes for the same year. This issue doesn’t get much press coverage, but homosexual groups are well aware of it. "Homosexual Domestic violence is the third largest health problem facing the gay and lesbian community today," said Susan Holt, coordinator of the domestic violence unit of the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center. In a rare media account, the Washington Post noted the damage cause by gay on gay violence,"It trails only behind AIDS and substance abuse . . . in terms of sheer lethality." and "Many of the crimes which concern anti violence activists are in fact gay-on-gay crimes … into this category fall many ‘pickup murders,’ so called because they are committed by troubled men who pick up strangers in bars, go home with them for sex, and then rob and kill them."

Myth #14:
30% of Homosexual Teens Commit Suicide.

Fact: David Smith, the communications director at the Human Rights Campaign,the largest gay political organization, was reluctantly forced to admit that the "30%" homosexual teen suicide figure is incorrect and was used to advance the gay agenda.

Fact: Cornell University psychologist Ritch Savin-Williams has completed two new studies on alleged homosexual teen suicide rates. His findings are published in "The Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology." According to Savin-Williams, earlier studies on homosexual teen suicides exaggerated rates of suicide. Savin-Williams found that homosexual teens were not significantly more likely to commit suicide than straight teens.
