CHILD MOLESTATION AND THE HOMOSEXUAL MOVEMENT

[Wi1liam T]

Lately, the gay movement seems to be making large gains in its war
on America's Judeo-Christian culture. Gay characters have become the
norm on sitcoms; it has become fashionable to attack the Boy Scouts;
homosexual propaganda inundates many of our public schools; nearly
all
the mainstream religious denominations have "revised" their
understanding of Biblical teaching concerning homosexuality; and the
gay "rights" legislative agenda is succeeding beyond the advocates'
wildest imaginations.

And yet the destructive impact homosexuality has upon Western
Civilization is rarely discussed by columnists, reporters, religious
leaders, politicians or by anyone else for that matter. Even some
conservative publications choose to ignore the issue and instead
have
published articles arguing for greater tolerance of the gay
lifestyle.

Indeed, on the homosexual issue, conservatives seem divided
between a "live and let live" attitude and one that concludes that
the
homosexual agenda will have to be curtailed if the Judeo-Christian
culture is to survive. However, overwhelming evidence supports the
belief that homosexuality is a sexual deviancy often accompanied by
disorders that have dire consequences for our culture. A vast amount
of
data demonstrating the deviant nature of the gay lifestyle is
ignored by
the media as well as the leadership of the psychological,
psychiatric, and
medical professions.

It is difficult to convey the dark side of the homosexual culture
without appearing harsh. However, it is time to acknowledge that
homosexual behavior threatens the foundation of Western civilization
-
the nuclear family. An unmistakable manifestation of the attack on
the
family unit is the homosexual community's efforts to target children
both
for their own sexual pleasure and to enlarge the homosexual
movement.
The homosexual community and its allies in the media scoff at this
movement. After all, they argue, heterosexual molestation is a far
more
serious problem.

Unfortunately, the truth is stranger than fiction. Research confirms
that homosexuals molest children at a rate vastly higher than
heterosexuals, and the mainstream homosexual culture commonly
promotes sex with children.1 Homosexual leaders repeatedly argue for
the freedom to engage in consensual sex with children, and blind
surveys
reveal a shockingly high number of homosexuals admit to sexual
contact
with minors. 2 Indeed, the homosexual community is driving the
worldwide campaign to lower the legal age of consent.

This trend comes at the expense of our children's safety. The
incident in Los Angeles involving group homes operated by the Gay
and
Lesbian Adolescent Social Services (GLASS) exemplifies this danger.
GLASS receives taxpayer monies to take in troubled youth referred to
them by the social service departments of various southern counties
in
California. 3

GLASS's own website should have been warning enough. GLASS
believes that some children are born gay (a view not backed by any
science) and announced that they target "youth who are confused
about
their sexual identities."4 The website links to a myriad of gay
sites
targeting the youth, including one promoting a book that promotes
sex
with children. 5 GLASS's founder and former executive director,
Teresa
DeCrescenzo, edited a book that helps youth discover their
homosexuality.
