Facts, Not flattery, About Same-Sex Attraction

Blithe assertions about the gay lifestyle are seldom backed up by scientific studies -- and when they are, the studies are weak.

By The Ad Hoc Committee On Homosexuality And Scientific Research

Who helps you: someone who fails to tell you the truth or someone who does tell you the truth? The former may make you feel better; they may soothe and flatter, but the truth is more loving. It will help you live a healthier, happier and more fulfilled life.

Defenders and promoters of homosexuality try to cover up the scientifically documented serious promiscuity, inability to maintain sexual fidelity, partner abuse and psychological and medical illnesses associated with the lifestyle. Also, they tell persons with same-sex attractions (SSA) that "It's genetic," "You were born that way," or worse "God made you gay."

The rest of this article is available on the MercatorNet web site: MercatorNet - Facts, not flattery, about same-sex attraction by Ad Hoc Committee on Homosexuality and Scientific Research.
