PFOX recently reprinted several informative quotes from the Joseph and Linda Nicolosi book A Parent’s Guide to Preventing Homosexuality. Following is one of the quotes: “In elementary school, other children will begin to call gender-confused boys ‘sissies,’ ‘faggots,’ ‘queers,’ or ‘gays.’ Mistakenly and tragically, their teachers may even identify them as ‘gay children,’ and, thus labeled by their own teachers, the children may even come to think of themselves as ‘born gay.’ They may not be sure what being ‘gay’ means, but they begin to suspect that they are different. Before long, their emotional estrangement from their own sex will begin to surface in same-sex romantic longings.”
“Imagine how it would feel for a boy to have a distant father and also to be teased by his same-sex peers. Imagine how it would feel to be called clumsy, a sissy, crybaby, mama’s boy or to be labeled for any number of other failures. (more…)

Excerpts from Walt Heyer’s “Things I’ve Learned” on his website www.sexchangeregret.com: … “Contrary to what you may think, male-to-female sex change surgery is a sex change in name (documentation) only. Sex change surgery is only a cosmetic procedure to make it look like a change was made, when in fact no female ‘parts’ are used. Did you know? No amount of surgery, hormone injection or anything else can, or will, change the birth gender DNA. It is absolute. The only thing the surgeon can change is the medical record, birth records and the perception that a change took place on the operating table. A DNA test would prove no sex change took place.” (more…)

Following is most of Andrew Comisky’s blog called “Lent Devotion 3: True Worship” on andrewcomsiky.com: “A few years ago, my teenage son told me that the largest evangelical church in our city was winning over many of his friends. His concern? Those new converts continued in sexual immorality as the church ‘did not make a big deal about premarital sex.’ Later I read one of the pastor’s books in which he conveyed quietly that Christians had to become ‘gay–affirming’ if they wanted to be relevant to a new era.”
“Last month that pastor presided over President Obama’s inaugural prayer breakfast. Barack’s first pastoral choice had been cut at the last minute when it was discovered that he had a ‘homosexuality, sin, and healing’ sermon in his preaching history. What we worship will be reflected in our sexual ethics. (more…)

Excerpts from Christopher Doyle’s opinion piece “The Ex-Gay Problem: You Can Never Leave?” on the Christian Post website: “‘You Can Check-Out Anytime You Like, But You Can Never Leave.’ So says the Eagles’ song Hotel California. Ironically, this memorable phrase in that 1976 classic hit has lasting implications for all those wishing to leave the gay life. I am careful to say ‘life’ and not ‘lifestyle’ so not to offend any gay and lesbian reading this who may be quick to cast me as a homophobe or hate-monger.”
“The truth is no one simply chooses to have same-sex attractions (SSA). These feelings are the result of many factors, mostly environmental and familial, mixed-in with one genetic factor, a sensitive temperament. I make this claim not with a preponderance of scientific evidence, but with the clinical experience of my own practice as a psychotherapist over the last three years, plus an additional twenty years of observations from my colleagues at the International Healing Foundation.” (more…)

[Editor’s note: Gay-straight alliances in schools are a political strategy of GLSEN, the gay political movement’s most powerful organization influencing schoolchildren. The message of GLSEN mirrors the gay political movement that gay is good and equal to heterosexuality. GLSEN has been involved with efforts to teach schoolchildren gay sexual techniques and associates biblical principles on homosexuality with intolerance. Ex-gayTruth.com does not agree with the advice that follows from Alan Chambers.]
The following text was transcribed from the “Question of the Week: How do I respond to a gay-straight alliance in our local school?” video featuring Alan Chambers: “Our question this week comes from a man who called in asking how he should respond to the creation of a gay-straight alliance being created in a public system in his community.

Excerpts from the article “Network blasted for demonizing ex-‘gays'” on World Net Daily: … “‘They are so afraid of people discovering their sexuality and realizing that no one is born a homosexual and learning that they can actually change if they want to,’ said Greg Quinlan about the issue raised by a recent episode of CBS’ ‘Criminal Minds.’ … ‘It is for this reason that they preach against us with such hate and venom, attacking us for exercising our right of self-determination,’ he said.”
“The heart of the issue is that if people who leave the homosexual lifestyle exist, it disproves the assumption that some are born homosexual and cannot change, the prevailing belief in the homosexual community.” (more…)

Excerpts from Dr. Grossmans second article about helping individuals with unwanted same-sex attraction on her blog www.miriamgrossmanmd.com: … “I wondered, though, about people who go against the tide and choose to fight their same sex attraction. They must have some interesting stories to tell. I discovered a support group for men in reparative therapy that met monthly in a Los Angeles home. The ‘Circle of Men’ welcomed me as a guest one evening. There were about twenty guys, young and not so young, seated comfortably in the living room. I had one question: what is their message to the mental health profession? They were eager to be heard.”
… “I had an idea: Invite these men to come and speak to my colleagues at the counseling center. (more…)

Excerpts from the article “Massachusetts state education officials release directive to force transgenderism into all schools” on Mass Resistance website: “The “transgender agenda” onslaught is now hitting Massachusetts schoolchildren with full force. What you are about to read is nothing short of madness. But it is happening. (To the rest of America: Take note. What happens in Massachusetts will likely be in your state before long — unless you are vigilant!)”
… “Among other things, according to the document, schools must allow ‘transgender’ children to play on sports teams and use the locker rooms, changing rooms, and restrooms of the opposite sex. And except with very young children, the schools will accept a child’s decision to “become” the opposite sex, even without parents’ knowledge or consent. (more…)

PFOX called the video “Homosexuality” by ChurchMilitantTV “One of the most comprehensive and clear videos on the subject.” The video discusses facts about homosexuality and how homosexuality has been promoted by gay activists and their supporters. Dr. Julie Hamilton of NARTH, Dr. Rick Fitzgibbons, and many others are featured. The video also delves into the Catholic Church’s teaching on homosexuality and sexual immorality. The video is very long, but full of information.
