It will also be interesting to note that not very much is known or heard about homosexuals and gays that hold opposing views to mainstream homosexuals. Homosexuals all seem to be a run-of-the-mill group of people. They all seem to agree on the same things all the time. Is this the way we would like our world to be? Theirs is not a life of individuality or self-determination. Is there something they are insecure about? Is there something they have to hide?

The mainstream media, especially of the United States, only project the views of people who will most appropriately be termed homosexual extremists and militants. They suppress dissenting voices. There are homosexual groups such as HOPE (Homosexuals opposed to Pride Extremism). Have you ever heard about them?

Secondly, the feeling people have towards homosexuals is not a fear. It is a repulsion to what the lifestyle represents. Even homosexuals have the same repulsive feeling when the implication of the right to marry they are fighting for is interpreted intelligently to them. The feeling is not a phobia. While homosexuals may be clamoring for the right to marry anyone they want, and for it to be made law, one may be tempted to ask, “Is marriage actually a right?” Marriage is a privilege regulated by the state. While the state allows a man to marry any one woman they like, and vice versa, it does not allow you to marry a donkey.

If the rights homosexuals fight for were granted, what would they feel like at the thought of a mother marrying her daughter? Think of a man marrying his son, a sister marrying her brother, a brother marrying his brother, or sister marrying her sister. What about a man marrying his baby girl? Do these ideas make you afraid? Not necessarily. But they repel you. Repulsion and fear are not the same. So the use of the term “homophobia” is a misnomer.  Homosexuality, pedophilia, and bestiality are a lifestyle engaged in by, often, extensively normal people who are sexually troubled.

Although a troubling trend, it seems to be gaining a debilitating hold. School children as early as 4 years, in countries such as the US, are being introduced to what are supposed to be lessons that will enable them to adjust to whatever turns out to be their sexual orientation later in life, and engender tolerance for others. Children are being told that homosexuality is a healthy alternative without negative consequences. They are not told about the much lower life expectancy related to the gay lifestyle. Teenagers do not know the fact that repeated anal intercourse has been linked with specific cancers and a host of bacterial and parasitical sexually transmitted diseases, including drug-resistant strains of AIDS. They are unaware of the dramatic resurgence of HIV transmission rates and recently, syphilis among homosexual men. They are not told that homosexual men still account for 80% of AIDS victims globally, and the risks of anal cancer are enormously higher for them. 

According to Dr. Judith Reisman, the homosexual movement is deliberately engaged in campaigns to influence children’s sexual orientation and “craft” new homosexuals. Some homosexual activists openly urge others to welcome children and woo teenagers to the gay culture and world. And the statistics showing the high incidence of homosexuals who sexually abuse children, cannot be disputed. According to a study published in Adolescence, 29% of the adult children of homosexual parents have been specifically subjected to sexual molestation as a child by a homosexual parent, compared to only 0.6 percent of adult children of heterosexual parents.

According to the American Journal of Diseases of Children and The Advocate, close to 60% of the adolescent AIDS sufferers were infected by adult bisexual and homosexual men. Thousands of these American boys are now dead. The same is probably true for other Western countries like Canada, where many young runaway boys end up prostituting themselves for men. Although pedophilia is condemned by most homosexuals not covered by the media, it remains condoned by many gay and lesbian leading North American activists who lobby for the lowering of the age of consent for sex. It is said to be healthy for the boys involved by the self proclaimed homosexual association NAMBLA (North American Man Boy Love Association) Intergenerational sex (often used euphemism for pederasty) is an undeniable feature of gay literature, gay films, gay travel, and gay prostitution. In the 70s, the Advocate repeatedly ran full page adds for a “penetrable boy gay doll” and in the 90s, 21% of its readers admitted having been molested before the age of 15.
SELLING HOMOSEXUALITY TO BELIZE

The issue of homosexuality is no longer one that should be left to smolder. It is a reality that is creeping in on young people from their most vulnerable angles. There are even radio talk-show hosts who have been very careless at craftily advocating homosexuality in the pretext of tolerance. There are also others who tell of their escapades during morning Teen talk-shows over Belize radio waves.  There should be an informative debate on the subject. And such a forum should not be an opportunity to disparage homosexual individuals in any way. They have an absolute right to the respect they earn, privacy and freedom of the type of lifestyle they choose. 

Contrary, however, to their right to choose, many children today are being denied the right to proper information on the consequences of adhering to the homosexual lifestyle. The well-being of those who will be prematurely, or prematurely label themselves as homosexuals, is being seriously, if not criminally, neglected by society.

One of the results of premature adoption of homosexual orientation is a high suicide rate among young gays and lesbians. When they find out later that they had wrongly labeled themselves, the psychological trauma often leads them to suicide, especially when gay advocacy groups continue to insist to them that they were born that way and there is no help. That suicidal tendency among young gays is not because of a homophobic society, but because of the insensitive and inconsiderate advocacy by gay militants and extremists. 

By listening to marketing experts such as Rondeau, the author of “Selling Homosexuality to America,” we can much better understand why the perceptions of the western world on homosexuality have so drastically changed in the last decade or two. Carefully carried out plans using the best tools of marketing, public relations and lobbying, have been brilliantly used by homosexual activists in order to mask the unpleasant or unhealthy side of homosexuality. Opponents of the homosexual lobby are demonized as ignorant bigots. Even researchers concerned with the health issues are linked to the worst racists. Their politically incorrect conclusions are not well known and further research in the field is hindered.

Thus, a well crafted image of homosexuals as a fashionable and even desirable lifestyle is what younger generations are encouraged to believe. The reality is drastically different. Children have a fundamental right to be protected from it. This is why one’s concern is even higher when there is suggestion that enough is not being done to protect Belizean children from the plights of the sexual confusion disguised as homosexuality.

And given the response of the National AIDS Commission to an article in the Amandala on the gay lifestyle, one wonders: Is the National AIDS Commission a gay advocacy group in disguise? Is their mission clearly understood? Or was it a case of picking the wrong priority? This is more troubling when members of a gay advocacy group wrote an email to confirm that the response published was in line with their requirement from the commission.

Did the RED Cross of Belize have the same priority for jumping into the fray to protect homosexuals from being identified as having anything to do with the origin of AIDS? The press release by the Ambassador to AIDS thus raises an issue of concern to all Belizeans, and should stand as a point of caution to all parents and organizations involved in the protection of Belizean children from the ravages of the homosexual lobby. We all should stand in solidarity against any hidden lobby with secret agendas. We should be bound by this one premise: that children are entitled to a mother and father. They have the undeniable right to be protected from being influenced by adults of various sexual minorities who are acting in pursuit of their own personal objectives, rather than in the best interest of children.

Apart from homosexuality having a high incidence of pedophilial activity, as proven by various sexual-orientation-neutral research, pedophiles seem also to be gaining ground using the same argument that homosexuals have adopted: “Pedophiles are not sick people; they are simply people who have not been understood; their inclination towards children is not always only about sex or harm; it is often a matter of two individuals who are in love; no one is hurt; how can you prove that the child does not enjoy the sexual contact?” If homosexuality, pedophilia and bestiality were considered to be the activity of psychologically sick people, could one now be justifiable and not the other? True to word, there has been recent research that is claimed to be shedding more light into the need to understand pedophiles better. In fact, it is in the direction that sexual activity may actually be healthy for children’s development. Homosexuals cannot condemn pedophiles publicly, because it will hurt their own cause.

And how can homosexuals condemn bestials? Is it not a matter of what makes you feel good and loved? And who has a right to tell someone else who (or in the case of bestials), what to be with. In this reconstructed reality, homosexuality and its legalization anywhere will open a floodgate of other types of lifestyle and activities that could have been unimaginable or at least incredibly repugnant before.

In fact, those who engage in bestiality also have their strong argument going for them. If your contention was that they are taking advantage of animals and it hurts the animal, and the animal does not give consent, then they lay out the fact that you also hurt animals without their consent when you slaughter them for food. You enjoy the chewing and the sucking and the swallowing of the “animal,” all of which activities have psychological sexual elements to them. Well, if the argument is that it lowers human dignity, so we have to stop people from doing it. Then it is looked at from the angle that dignity should be an internal sense of value. Dignity that is enforced from outside is no dignity at all.

In all, there can be more broad-based arguments laid out to prove the deadly connection between homosexuality, pedophilia, and bestiality. The same string of sexual freedom, militant extremistic  lobbying strategies, and carefully orchestrated ways of hiding the real consequence of the lifestyle, packaged in extremely detrimental economic and social cost to the society, tie them all together.

It will be interesting if the publisher of the original story in this newspaper that spurred these spread out responses would exude a little more courage and expound on the details of the original story that was clouded in secrecy. Homosexuals are sexually troubled people who need and have proven to be able to adapt to help. And while they deserve to be given the respect they earn as human beings, children have a right to be protected from that lifestyle and be given an opportunity to make their own sexual decisions in due time.
