Have a very nice day.Q. I’VE SEEN LITERATURE DISTRIBUTED IN PUBLIC SCHOOL THAT SAYS HOMOSEXUALITY IS NORMAL AND HEALTHY. YOU MEAN THAT’S NOT TRUE?
A. Homosexuality is neither normal, nor healthy –It is an unhealthy addiction.
The average male homosexual has over 100 partners in his lifetime. The average lifespan is 42 years. That’s a full 35 years off the natural lifespan of 77 years. We make a big stink about cigarette companies because their product takes from 1-2 years off the average lifespan, yet we give no warnings about homosexuality, and in fact, our present public policy encourages it. If we continue down this road our children will pay the price.
The compassionate thing to do is to say no to a destructive lifestyle, and offer help for those who want to live healthy normal lives. I would offer the same help to a brother who wanted to marry his sister, or a son who wanted to marry his Mother. Love is not the sole determining factor.
We recognize that this is the basis of a healthy society and anything other serves to unravel the fabric of orderly culture
Q. AREN'T WE DISCRIMATING AGAINST HOMOSEXUALS? DOESN’T THAT MAKE HOMOSEXUALS SECOND CLASS CITIZENS? AREN’T THEY ANOTHER MINORITY THAT NEEDS EQUAL RIGHTS?
A. First of all, as a society we discriminate all the time. We say marriage is an institution codified in civil law as the union of two adults of the opposite sex, of a certain minimum age, who are not related by blood. All laws that have conditions are, by definition and necessity, discriminatory.
Secondly, homosexuals are not an oppressed minority. To qualify as a disadvantage minority the courts have already established a three-part test:
1. They must prove that homosexuality is inborn, innate and unchangeable
2. They would have to show that as a group they are economically disadvantaged
3. They would have to demonstrate that they are politically powerless.
Homosexuals fail at all three points There is no such thing as an ex-Puerto Rican, or an ex-African-American, because we can’t change that, but there are thousands upon thousands of ex-gays who have changed their behavior and lifestyle proving, that they weren’t born that way, and that change is possible –with God’s help.
As a group, homosexuals earn higher incomes than minorities, or even the national average. Politically, they have infiltrated all our public institutions and have brought us to a point where we have to consider a Constitutional Amendment to preserve the values that have made us a nation.
They simply are not an oppressed ethnic minority, and it is an offense to legitimate minorities to place a group characterized by deviant behavior in the same class.
If you want to properly place them in a class it would have to be with people who are addicted to destructive behaviors, such as drug addicts, or alcoholics.
Q. YOU DON’T BELIEVE THEY ARE BORN THAT WAY?
A. Let’s be real. My children have brown eyes because I have brown eyes. If homosexuality were genetic they would cease to exist in two generations. Do the math.
We’re all born with genetic propensities toward sin, and self-gratification. It’s the responsibility of a family and a society to help one another overcome those self-destructive inclinations, to help us aspire to our higher nature and thus the society becomes good.
