Groundbreaking research published this week shows successful change in religiously motivated men and women.
A chorus of voices in the professional world today proclaims that it is impossible to change sexual orientation, particularly homosexual orientation, and that the attempt to change sexual orientation is commonly and inherently harmful. For example, for many years the Public Affairs website of the American Psychological Association stated: “Can therapy change sexual orientation? No. . . . [H]omosexuality . . . does not require treatment and is not changeable.”[1] Read more…

In North Carolina, a group called Faith in America is starting a billboard and newspaper ad campaign against “religion-based bigotry,” aka Christian sexual ethics.
Of all the things I have observed from my perch on the front lines of America’s culture wars, the most curious is the phenomenon of the crucial moral authority of the gay man in our newly unfolding society. Read more…

From California again we get a glimpse of the future – or the future that a political class is consciously seeking to prepare for us in reshaping the culture. During the summer the legislature enacted, and Governor Jerry Brown signed into law, SB48, as an amendment to “the Education Code, relating to instruction.” That Code had already made ample provision to instruct the children of California in the contributions made by all racial and ethnic groups supplying votes for politicians. But there was an appreciation also for the contributors who were “entrepreneurs” and labor unions, and whose stories deserved to be told. With SB48 the legislature took a further step by adding: “Pacific Islanders, European Americans, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans.” Read more…

PayPal reportedly has responded, saying it could not comment on individual accounts and must take “the rights of free speech and freedom of religion” into account. Read more…

Most important quote:
“This is the real problem with OutServe,” she contends. “This is certainly contrary to everything we know about unit cohesion — to encourage one group within the ranks to set itself apart as something different, separate, and with a singular set of demands.”
Even the name of this magazine makes them sound like they are setting themselves apart and are better than their comrades at arms. Is that really what they’re going for with this? Read more…
What’s to keep students from lying for the sake of a scholarship?

Is being lesbian, “gay,” bisexual, or transgender a special talent? FRC’s Peter Sprigg says a church-affiliated college in Illinois apparently thinks so.
Elmhurst College in suburban Chicago has added to its application form a question regarding sexual orientation, making it the first school in the U.S. to do so. Reportedly in an effort to increase campus diversity, the 3,000-plus-student school is asking applicants: “Would you consider yourself to be a member of the LGBT community?” (See earlier story) Read more…

Norwegian Wood and Tweak: Growing up on Methamphetamines were on a required reading list for high school students in the Monroe Township School District. The former includes a story of lesbian sex between a 31-year-old woman and a 13-year-old girl, and the latter depicts drug usage and a homosexual orgy. Read more…

In a discipline whose point is dispassionate reasoning and discourse, some would shut down debate and silence dissenters on a deep and complex moral-political issue. And the view they would anathematize, far from irrational, is more coherent and more compelling than their slippery and ill-defined ‘default’.
Earlier this summer, my fellow philosophy graduate student at Princeton University, Richard Chappell, criticized an article in which Robert P. George, Ryan T. Anderson, and I defend the conjugal view of marriage as the union of husband and wife. I’m grateful for his criticisms, which allow me to correct some misinterpretations and respond to unsuccessful objections. But like Chappell’s, my contribution to this debate begins with a comment about the debate. Read more…
I Am a Man

Why have gay activists instigated media attention over ex-gays and the husband of Presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann?
Apparently, Mr. Bachmann, who has a PhD in clinical psychology, operates several counseling centers which also offer services to homosexual clients seeking to overcome unwanted same-sex attractions. But because even one ex-gay proves that homosexual behavior is not innate or immutable, the gay lobby’s fear of their former members results in false claims and attacks aimed at preventing homosexuals from exercising their right to self-determination. They cannot bear to have even one homosexual leave homosexuality, hence their outrage at Dr. Bachmann.

Dictionaries need a new word to describe disagreement with some of the key precepts of the gay lobby.
Last year’s election in the United Kingdom threw up some interesting results as a variety of issues took prominence in different constituencies. In particular we saw strong reactions to four conservative parliamentary candidates who had, either during the campaign or previously, held views which were judged as being “homophobic”. Read more…

Australian states follow the crowd in allowing the radical re-ordering of children’s lives.
Across Australia homosexual activists are seeking to redefine marriage to include same-sex relationships. Fortunately, although to some surprisingly and disappointingly, Prime Minister Julia Gillard has affirmed her personal support of marriage remaining what it always has been, a commitment between a man and a woman.

A California pro-family group says lawmakers’ decision to create a holiday in honor of an openly homosexual politician has dealt a detrimental blow to the state’s school children.
In an email to SaveCalifornia.com, Deanna Aguire of Moreno Valley told the pro-family organization that her daughter and students at Moreno Valley High School were forced to attend a Gay-Straight Alliance rally in honor of the late San Francisco politician, Harvey Milk. Aguire’s daughter told the teacher she did not want to go to the rally, and only after persistence did the teacher allow her to opt out. Read more…
