Harmful Effects of Homosexuality

Some statistics about the Homosexual lifestyle:

* One study reports 70% of homosexuals admitting to having sex only one time with over 50% of their partners (3)
* One study reports that the average homosexual has between 20 and 106 partners per year (6). The average heterosexual has 8 partners in a lifetime
* Many homosexual sexual encounters occur while drunk, high on drugs, or in an orgy setting (7)
* Many homosexuals don't pay heed to warnings of their lifestyles: "Knowledge of health guidelines was quite high, but this knowledge had no relation to sexual behavior" (16)
* Homosexuals got homosexuality removed from the list of mental illnesses in the early 70s by storming the annual American Psychiatric Association (APA) conference on successive years. "Guerrilla theater tactics and more straight-forward shouting matches characterized their presence" (2). Since homosexuality has been removed from the APA list of mental illnesses, so has pedophilia (except when the adult feels "subjective distress") (27)
* Homosexuals account for 3-4% of all gonorrhea cases, 60% of all syphilis cases, and 17% of all hospital admissions (other than for STDs) in the United States (5). They make up only 1-2% of the population
* Homosexuals live unhealthy lifestyles, and have historically accounted for the bulk of syphilis, gonorrhea, Hepatitis B, the "gay bowel syndrome" (which attacks the intestinal tract), tuberculosis and cytomegalovirus (27)
* 73% of psychiatrists say homosexuals are less happy than the average person, and of those psychiatrists, 70% say that the unhappiness is NOT due to social stigmatization (13)
* 25-33% of homosexuals and lesbians are alcoholics (11)
* Of homosexuals questioned in one study reports that 43% admit to 500 or more partners in a lifetime, 28% admit to 1000 or more in a lifetime, and of these people, 79% say that half of those partners are total strangers, and 70% of those sexual contacts are one night stands (or, as one homosexual admits in the film "The Castro", one minute stands) (3). Also, it is a favorite past-time of many homosexuals to go to "cruisy areas" and have anonymous sex
* 78% of homosexuals are affected by STDs (20)
* Judge John Martaugh, chief magistrate of the New York City Criminal Court has said, "Homosexuals account for half the murders in large cities" (10)
* Captain William Riddle of the Los Angeles Police says, "30,000 sexually abused children in Los Angeles were victims of homosexuals" (10)
* 50% of suicides can be attributed to homosexuals (10)
* Dr. Daniel Capron, a practicing psychiatrist, says, "Homosexuality by definition is not healthy and wholesome. The homosexual person, at best, will be unhappier and more unfulfilled than the sexually normal person" (10). For other psychiatrists who believe that homosexuality is wrong, please see National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality
* It takes approximately $300,000 to take care of each AIDS victim, so thanks to the promiscuous lifestyle of homosexuals, medical insurance rates have been skyrocketing for all of us(10)
* Homosexuals were responsible for spreading AIDS in the United States, and then raised up violent groups like Act Up and Ground Zero to complain about it. Even today, homosexuals account for well over 50% of the AIDS cases in the United States, which is quite a large number considering that they account for only 1-2% of the population
* Homosexuals account for a disproportionate number of hepatitis cases: 70-80% in San Francisco, 29% in Denver, 66% in New York City, 56% in Toronto, 42% in Montreal, and 26% in Melbourne (8)
* 37% of homosexuals engage in sadomasochism, which accounts for many accidental deaths. In San Francisco, classes were held to teach homosexuals how to not kill their partners during sadomasochism (8)
* 41% of homosexuals say they have had sex with strangers in public restrooms, 60% say they have had sex with strangers in bathhouses, and 64% of these encounters have involved the use of illegal drugs (8)
* Depending on the city, 39-59% of homosexuals are infected with intestinal parasites like worms, flukes and amoebae, which is common in filthy third world countries (8)
* The median age of death of homosexuals is 42 (only 9% live past age 65). This drops to 39 if the cause of death is AIDS. The median age of death of a married heterosexual man is 75 (8)
* The median age of death of lesbians is 45 (only 24% live past age 65). The median age of death of a married heterosexual woman is 79 (8)
* Homosexuals are 100 times more likely to be murdered (usually by another homosexual) than the average person, 25 times more likely to commit suicide, and 19 times more likely to die in a traffic accident (8)
* 21% of lesbians die of murder, suicide or traffic accident, which is at a rate of 534 times higher than the number of white heterosexual females aged 25-44 who die of these things(8)
* 50% of the calls to a hotline to report "queer bashing" involved domestic violence (i.e., homosexuals beating up other homosexuals) (18)
* About 50% of the women on death row are lesbians (12).

Homosexuals prey on children:
* 33% of homosexuals ADMIT to minor/adult sex (7)
* There is a notable homosexual group, consisting of thousands of members, known as the North American Man and Boy Love Association ( NAMBLA). This is a child molesting homosexual group whose cry is "SEX BEFORE 8 BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE." This group can be seen marching in most major homosexual parades across the United States
* Homosexuals commit more than 33% of all reported child molestations in the United States, which, assuming homosexuals make up 2% of the population, means that 1 in 20 homosexuals is a child molestor, while 1 in 490 heterosexuals is a child molestor (19)
* 73% of all homosexuals have had sex with boys under 19 years of age (9)
* Many homosexuals admit that they are pedophiles: "The love between men and boys is at the foundation of homosexuality" (22)
* Because homosexuals can't reproduce naturally, they resort to recruiting children. Homosexuals can be heard chanting "TEN PERCENT IS NOT ENOUGH, RECRUIT, RECRUIT, RECRUIT" in their homosexual parades. A group called the "Lesbian Avengers" prides itself on trying to recruit young girls. They print "WE RECRUIT" on their literature. Some other homosexuals aren't as overt about this, but rather try to infiltrate society and get into positions where they will have access to the malleable minds of young children (e.g., the clergy, teachers, Boy Scout leaders, etc.) (8). See the DC Lesbian Avengers web page, and DC Lesbian Avengers Press Release, where they threaten to recruit little boys and girls. Also, see AFA Action Alert.

The homosexual agenda:
* The homosexual agenda includes desensitizing the public: "The first order of business is desensitization of the American public concerning gays and gay rights.....To desensitize the public is to help it view homosexuality with indifference instead of with keen emotion. Ideally, we would have straights register differences in sexual preferences the way they register different tastes for ice cream or sports games....At least in the beginning, we are seeking public desensitization and nothing more. We do not need and cannot expect a full 'appreciation' or 'understanding' of homosexuality from the average American. You can forget about trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if only you can get them to think that it is just another thing...then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won" (25)
* Part of the homosexual agenda is to get the public to affirm their filthy lifestyle, as one homosexual admitted in the October 1987 homosexual rally on Washington: "We are no longer seeking just a right to privacy and a protection from wrong. We also have a right -- as heterosexual Americans already have -- to see government and society affirm our lives" (27)
* Part of the homosexual agenda is to turn people from Christianity: "The teaching that only male-female sexual activity within the bounds and constraints of marriage is the only acceptable form should be reason enough for any homosexual to denounce the Christian religion" (1)
* Homosexuals knowingly lied (and still lie) about the 10% figure (i.e., homosexuals make up 10% of the population). As Tom Stoddard (formerly of the Lambda Legal Defense Fund) said, "We used that figure when most gay people were entirely hidden to try to create an impression of our numerousness" (17).

The true number of homosexuals:
* The Kinsey study of 1948, which homosexuals often cite to say that 10% of the population is homosexual, actually says that only 4% of the population is EXCLUSIVELY homosexual. This study involved a disproportionate number of people who had been in jail for sex crimes (hardly a random sample of the population). Kinsey also did perverse studies involving young boys and pedophiles. Information on Kinsey
* Current research shows that the true percentage of homosexuals is in the 1-2% range (15,23,26,28). Consider how small this number is when compared to most of the numbers above.

Homosexuals aren't discriminated against in employment, so why should they be a protected class?
* The average yearly income of a homosexual is $55,430.00 (most of which is disposable because no children to take care of!). The average of the general population is $32,144.00. The average of blacks is $12,166.00 (24)
* 59.6% of homosexuals are college graduates. 18.0% of the general population are college graduates (24). Too bad they aren't smart enough to listen to God. "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools" (Romans 1:22)
* 49.0% of homosexuals hold professional/managerial positions. 15.9% of the general population hold such positions (24). Where's the job discrimination?

Sexual Orientation
• A phrase that has come up recently in this earth is "sexual orientation." This is a phrase made up by homosexuals to try to make themselves look less filthy than they really are. The purpose of the phrase is to take the spotlight from what these perverts do, and put it on the notion that they are just poor, mistreated people, who simply are attracted to members of the same sex - as if they aren't engaging in activity forbidden by God Almighty. "Sexual orientation," as used today, has nothing to do with sexual activity (yeah, right), but only refers to who or what a particular person is attracted to. If you think that people of other "sexual orientations" are just fine, let's see what other "sexual orientations" you would necessarily have to accept as wholesome and pure. If you're not going to discriminate based on "sexual orientation", then you must not discriminate against any of the following. Bestiality, pedophile, necrophilia., exhibitionism, fetishism, frotteurism, masochism, sadism, transvestitism, voyeurism. If you discriminate against any of these, you're a hypocrite. These "sexual orientations" are generally known as "paraphilias", and are mental disorders - just like homosexuality used to be (29).

Harmony between Man and Nature

Everything in this universe is governed by some laws. Starting from the tiniest element to the biggest galaxies, all the objects follow the properties or the rules assigned on them. They never change nor revolt at any point of time. Even many organs and systems of human being are governed by themselves. We can not control them. For instance, the heart bit and the different complex processes that happen inside the cells can not be controlled by us.

But, only the human will is free to choose its rules. and that’s a test from God for every human being. Those who obeys God and follow His rules live in complete peace and harmony with nature. Those who do not do so, create dis-orders within themselves in particular and the society at large. So, give a thought over this and make yourself living in the harmony with nature.

Murder of Democracy

Although the Apex Court has granted bail to Dr. Binayak Sen on May 25 after two-year long unjust incarceration, his arrest and assaults indicate abuse of laws and murder of democracy. One can’t even speak anything for the cause of the public if it goes against the sentiment of the government bearers. The real facts are moulded to fall into various laws and concerned people are tortured in police custody without any investigation. The situation with Dr. Sen is not the first one, but such affairs happen quite often in India. On the other hand, government officials are hardly held responsible for violating laws. Then, where lies the democracy that held freelance activists responsible?

Valentine's Day: History and Reality

Dear Brothers/Sisters, We all are aware of the celebration on 14th February each year which is popularly termed as Valentine’s Day or Saint Valentine’s Day. We all see the customs and practices celebrated on account of this day. But have we ever asked ourselves what actually it is, how it came from, why we celebrate it and after all whether we should celebrate this day.

One can hardly find authentic sources and narrations on the origin of the occasion. However, there are lot of myths and interesting stories associated with the history, mostly fabricated after centuries. While few historians argue that no romantic or love elements are present in the biographies of saints named Valentines, majority of them try to rearrange the dispersed information of history in this regard and formulate the origin and context. Based on weighted sources and narrations, I am presenting here the origin and context of the St. Valentine’s Day.

Around two/three centuries before Christ, Romans used to believe that marriage makes one weak and so the married men were supposed to be unfit as soldiers. The first information about this day is found in pre-Christian Rome, when pagans used to celebrate the "Feast of the Wolf" on February 15, also known as the Feast of Lupercalius in honour of Februata Juno, the Roman goddess of women and marriage, and Pan, Roman god of nature. On this day, young women would place their names in an urn, from which boys would randomly draw to discover their sexual companion for the day, the year, and sometimes the rest of their lives. These partners exchanged gifts as a sign of affection, and often married.

After approximately five centuries i.e. after two centuries from the birth of Prophet Jesus (Peace be upon him), Christians came in Rome to preach their religion. When Christianity came into the picture of Rome, it wanted to replace the “Feast of the Wolf” with something more in line with its ethics and morality. Based on the belief that a single or bachelor man is a better soldier than one with wives and families, Claudius II - the then Roman Emperor outlawed marriage for young single man who made up his military. Christian saints in Rome did not like it and so started to oppose. Among them, an Italian Bishop known as Valentine extremely defied Claudius and used to conduct secret marriages of young couples and military men in the year 270. When his actions were revealed, Claudius put him to death on February 14. A number of Christians decided to consider February 14, 270 as a memorable day which later got the name Valentine’s Day.

Another version of the story says that Valentine was a holy priest in Rome, who helped Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured. Valentine was arrested and sent to the prefect of Rome for this. While staying in the prison awaiting execution, he fell in love with the jailer’s daughter. He found that his attempts to make Valentine renounce his faith were useless, and so recommended he be beaten with clubs, and later beheaded. This took place on February 14, 270.

The celebration of the “Feast of the Wolf” promoting free sex continued until eighteenth century. It got abolished in France with a ban over the ritual in 1776. In England too, it was banned during seventeenth century. In other countries like Austria, Germany, Italy etc., this inhuman practice got vanished over long years.

The Valentine’s Day has got popularity only in the last few centuries with its officialization as a holiday by the influence of the Christian preachers and invaders throughout the world. It was in the year 496 that Pope Gelasius officially changed the February 15 Lupercalia festival “Feast of the Wolf” to the February 14 St. Valentine's Day to give Christian meaning to a pagan festival. Moreover, he changed the custom of the festival. Instead of young men, names of the saints were kept in the disk and people were to choose the saints whom they have to follow for a certain period preferably one year till the next Valentine’s Day. The holiday becomes popular in the United States in the 1800's during the Civil War.

It is now obvious that the intent of the Valentine’s Day is to promote true love and marriage instead of free sex and immorality. As we see that the day is no more celebrated in its true perspective, rather it is used as a tool that helps to promote obscenity and immoral relationship between couples. In other words, it is working as a window of sex-centric young generation which is poisonous for a healthy society.

Similar to the Christian saints who tried to christianize the occasion, the Multi National Companies (MNC) have hijacked and trying to form it so as to get the maximum profit. It is an agenda of the capitalists that they create virtual needs and requirements, and supply goods to fulfill those to make money out of the various occasions like New Year Celebration, Valentine’s Day, etc. So, as of now, to celebrate the day means to help the MNCs capitalize and to promote immorality. Which among these two do you desire? Of course! none of these. Then say a big blatant NO to this day. Try to develop true love for mankind and limit not for only one person. Prevent yourselves from all kinds of evils both physically and psychologically that may originate from free-mixing.

Remember that truly successful are those who patiently persevere and never cross the limit. They care for ethics and consider women as mother and sister, and not as objects of lust and sexual partners. They always have believed in God and hereafter without which the concept of human values become worthless. Do not let your instinct drive you, rather drive it based on your conscience.

Don’t forget that your heart finds rest and tranquility in the remembrance of God. Remembrance refers to not just verbal pronunciation, but also through welfare activities as prescribed by Allah. Pleasure out of free-mixing can never satisfy you and rather, it makes you more hungry for such pleasures like the example of a mirage in a desert. So, if you really want a peaceful soul and mind, you should, as a first step, abstain from all kinds of unethical activities. Hope you will save yourself and let your friends save themselves too.
