Law of Nature Excludes Homosexuality,
Says Australian Physician
August 9, 2004 - An Australian medical ethics expert told an audience at a
marriage conference recently that homosexuals are excluding themselves from
marriage and family by refusing to join the great "circle of life."
Dr. David van Gend told the audience, "By its very nature, homosexuality has
excluded itself. It has stepped outside the circle of life--the timeless, endless
natural circle of male and female, parent and offspring."
He notes that the origins of homosexual behavior are complex, but "whatever its
origins, the outcome of homosexuality is best understood as a very complex state
of confusion over sexual identity."
Van Gend cites the National Health and Social Life Survey published in 1994 in
the U.S. In this survey, 8% of the 16-year-olds thought they were gay--but,
"significantly, that by age 18 only 4% still thought they were gay, and by age
25, only two percent still thought they were gay. What that means is that most
sexual confusion in school children clears away if left to itself. It doesn't
need therapy or counseling. It is a passing phase ..."
CNSNews.com has more details on this story: "Homosexuals Are Excluding
Themselves From Marriage, Family." The Thomas More Centre in Brisbane has
posted a speech on homosexuality from a medical perspective by Dr. van Gend on
its web site: Thomas More Centre.
