I recently stumbled across an article written by Dr. Don Boys, titled “People Without Integrity Ignore Facts About Homosexuality.”
In this article Dr. Boys makes a number of statements that are highly inaccurate. I thought I’d write an article replying to and challenging his original article which can be found here: Publius.
According to the article: Homosexuals are not “born that way” and any study will support that. Even the very pro-homosexual American Psychological Association has returned to reality and in the last couple of months declared: “There are no scientific findings that a person is born homosexual.” One of their brochures declares: “There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops s heterosexual, bisexual, gay or lesbian orientation.”
What is the relevance of the origin of homosexual desires? The title of the article suggests dealing in facts, but the facts of the origins of homosexuality are unclear.
Homosexuals do recruit as classic studies prove. In fact, about half of the adult homosexuals were seduced into perversion before age 14. Homosexuals molest young boys far more than heterosexuals molest girls. Yet, we are told that homosexuals don’t molest little boys!
Dr Boys appears to be basing his argument of anti gay propaganda like Boys Beware!
Also, he seems a little confused about the meaning of the word homosexual. Molestation motivated by sexual desire of adolescents is called pederasty, not homosexuality.
It is also telling that the media do their best to separate pedophilia from homosexuality such as the horrific scandal in the Roman Catholic Church and in other mainline protestant denominations. The vicious predators are never identified as homosexuals, only pedophiles. What’s the difference except in the spelling?
Quite a large difference Dr. Boys. The issue of religious figures abusing children is a complex issue involving repression of sexual desires and having access to vulnerable, trusting people. The homosexual element is a minor part of the issue. The “media” is wise to separate the two terms as any they are quite clearly very different.
Homosexuals indulge in incredible, unbelievable, vile, vulgar, even violent activities detrimental to themselves and society such as fisting (don’t ask); rimming (don’t ask again); illegal drug use; eating or rubbing their bodies with a lover’s feces; autoerotic asphyxiation (about 1,000 die each year); sadomasochism, urine drinking; golden showers (water sports); insertion of bottles, flashlights and other objects up a “lovers” rear; and other repulsive activities. I would love to hear a defense of those activities.
More confusion about the meaning of words and the nature of sexual practices here. Fisting and rimming are far from exclusive to homosexual liaisons. Illegal drug use is widespread in all sections of society and has nothing whatsoever to do with homosexuality. Coprophagia (or consumption of faeces), urophagia (consumption of urine), urolagnia (golden showers) and sadomasochism are all paraphilias (better known as fetishes), not exclusive to any one sexual orientation. Autoerotic asphyxiation is by definition a solitary act, not an act between two or more people and again is not limited to any specific sexual orientation.
Statistically, homosexuals die much younger than normal people. Studies show that homosexual lifestyle may cost homosexuals 30 years of life. Homosexuals were 116 times more apt to be murdered and 24 times more likely to commit suicide than others.
Did Dr. Boys just blame the victims of murder for being gay? People who commit suicide are likely being affected by negative information like Dr. Boys’ article and a lack of positive information and access to services that can help them.
Homosexuals can be “converted” back to heterosexuality.
Many gay, lesbian, bisexual (and other orientations) people claim that they knew that they were somehow “different” to their peers since childhood.
There is no evidence whatsoever that gay “conversion” techniques are in any way effective and victims of these techniques have claimed that the experience was damaging.
Every homosexual is not involved with violence, but all of them live a vile and vulgar lifestyle.
What exactly is vile and vulgar about their lifestyle?
There is nothing gay in the homosexual way.
Subtle.
Follow up.
Two of my closest and most valued friends indentify themselves as non heterosexual. Both have suffered from prejudice and abuse simply for being different. One of them is a victim of so called “conversion therapy” and will state that the only effects were negative and stigmatising and did nothing to change his sexual orientation.
Both are in healthy relationships and are in no way evil or degenerate people. They deserve respect just like any other person, regardless of their sexual desires or lifestyle choices.
Despite my best efforts, I have been unable to find any contact information for Dr. Boys, so I have been unable to communicate with him directly or send him a copy of this article. The closest I could get was to write to him on Twitter, inviting him to read this article and to contact me if he wishes to clarify or defend his stance.
Please comment or contact me if you agree or disagree with what I have said and wish to discussit further.
