NAMBLA is a sick organization that most gays find as sick as straights. Gays
refused to allow their participation at many Gay Pride Day festivities in 1993,
including for example in Tampa, Orlando and Miami. As a Miami Gay reported, a
local gay newspaper (which is struggling financially) refused a prepaid ad from
NAMBLA. The Gay and Lesbian Community Center refuses to let them meet there.
"NAMBLA" is a sick group and will never earn the respect of the gay community."
- Dean Kennedy from Florida.
Another good quote regarding the antics of some far out gays that the
Christian Right are making sure everyone sees: "If you watched a video from a
Christian source or just a few minutes of television coverage you see only the
outlandish stuff. Visit a gay bar on a Friday night and you will see one person
in drag in 100 guys in jeans and a T-shirt. For every one in leather, another
100 in jeans and polo shirts. Same with the gay pride parades. With 500,000
attending a Christian convention I could probably find...(a few with) enough
make-up to scare Tami Faye Bakker on Halloween. Sure they are only a small
percentage, but I bet I could make a 15 minute video totally misrepresenting the
average person. I have been to a couple of parades (Gay Pride) and neither
looked fractionally as weird as the coverage on the 700 Club News with Pat
Robertson. He covered the New York parade and I saw his shameful editing skills.
He sure misses thousands from P-FLAG or Gay Christians, but never
misses the handful of Dykes on Bikes or The Leather Guys. His
editing looks like 90% are dressed that way instead of 9%." - Dean Kennedy
The idea of trying to blame homosexuals for any child abuse is shear
poppycock! As 7/12/94 article in USA Today "Child Molesters Rarely Homosexual"
points out a child is 100 times as likely to be sexually abused by a
heterosexual than a gay adult. It's unfair to connect pedophile with gay or
lesbians.
The view that homosexuals are likely child molesters often underlies custody
challenges filed against gay parents and the dismissal of gay Boy Scout and
youth group leaders.
Dr. Carole Jenny of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center,
Denver, studied 269 sexual abused children examined during one year at Denver
Children's Hospital. Investigation shows:
80% of girls were molested by a man who was or had been in a heterosexual
relationship with the child's mother or another relative. 75% of boys were
abused by males in heterosexual relationships with female relatives.
Only 1 of 219 girls was molested by a lesbian; 1 out of 50 boys by a gay
male. This is a much lower percentage than the likely 6-10% of the population
that is homosexual, therefore the incidence of gays molesting is much lower than
the rate for heterosexuals.
Heterosexual children raised by homosexuals could no more "become" homosexual
than a brown-eyed child raised with blue-eyed parents would eventually become
blue-eyed. As reported in USA Today 8/16/94 "Gay men likely to raise
heterosexual sons". Why is it that nearly every homosexual child was raised in
heterosexual homes where heterosexuality was not only the norm but expected and
encouraged? Regardless of the home environment, people are the sexual
orientation they are and home influences will not and cannot change that anymore
than it could cause one to change eye color.
Remember, in talking about homosexuals, we're not talking about a group of
immoral, twisted, perverted people who woke up one morning and said "I'm going
to choose to become homosexual." Their orientation was not a matter of choice
and is a permanent part of their being, hence it is immoral for any family or
church to pressure such people to even try to change.Pride Parades
