Gays are subjected to increased rates of violence and mental disorders, not because of this particular sexual orientation, but because of the intolerance, ignorance, and fear of closed-minded people toward others that are perceived as different. Thats why so many of your family and friends, who self-identify as heterosexual, and actually GLBT. It’s time to put this behind us and embrace inclusion and acceptance. We owe this much to all of our gal and lesbian members of our military are are serving our nation.

Dear Don Hinkle,

Why do you not tell your readers what the Family Research Institute is?

This is their own words....

“The Family Research Institute was founded in 1982 with one overriding mission: to generate empirical research on issues that threaten the traditional family, particularly homosexuality, AIDS, sexual social policy, and drug abuse.”

With that as the mission statement it’s hardly a surprise they would come up with “facts” that make gays look bad. They are IN BUSINESS to make gays look bad. They dig for dirt and where there is none, they generate some.

It’s laughable that you would use such a biased organization as foundational to your argument.

All of the “studies” by the Family Research Institute are by Paul Cameron, a psychologist that uses his own work to generate “evidence” that gays threaten children, conclusions that are generally at odds with other published data.

He is largely ignored by the scientific community because he is apparently unable to be scientifically objective about his “work”.

Furthermore on December 2, 1983, the American Psychological Association notified Paul Cameron that he had been dropped from membership.

In 1984 they notified ALL their members that he had been dropped “for a violation of the Preamble to the Ethical Principles of Psychologists.”

Just another sign that the SBC doesn’t treat gays and lesbians with the same love and respect that Jesus Himself treated others with. We don’t have that problem in the Episcopal Church. Think about it.

Don Hinkle says..."Seducing young boys and practicing sadistic sex is not uncommon among homosexuals.”

But what do you base that statement on Mr. Hinkle?

The tragic fact is that most child molestation is heterosexual in nature.

* Three out of four children who were victimized were female, according to the U. S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics.

* Nearly two-thirds of convicted child molesters and/or offenders were or had been married according to the Survey of Inmates of State Correctional Facilities by the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics AND....

...Child molesters and offenders were more likely to have grown up in a two parent home and were more likely to have been molested as a child.

Mr Hinkle writes..."The news media is largely pro-homosexual, says Michael Johnston, a spokesman for Kerusso Ministries, a Christian network that monitors the homosexual movement.”....

....but he omits the scandal that in 2003 Mr. Johnston failed to disclose his HIV + status to men he was having sex with and five years after starring in a national advertising campaign along side his mother, claiming gays can change their sexual orientation, Michael Johnston experienced a “moral fall” and left behind his ministries.
