I wish to express my disappointment with the Jerusalem gay-pride parade last week. Those who support this yearly event care neither for the feelings of families, nor for the holiness and sanctity of this City. The primary goal in holding gay parades is to acquire a powerful psychological weapon to change society’s rejection of homosexual activity and lifestyle into gradual, even if reluctant, acceptance.
Homosexuality, however, is abnormal, immoral and anti-life. It is not innate as some believe. Sexual orientation is a matter of self-affirmation and public declaration.
Scientific studies have proven that homosexuality is also linked to pedophilia. For example, a 1988 study of 229 convicted child molesters published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour found that 86% of paedophiles described themselves as homosexual or bisexual.
Dr. Michelle Cretella, a board member of the American College of Pediatricians also concluded from multiple studies that children reared by gay couples have gender confusion and are put at high risk for sexually transmitted diseases.
Cretella noted that homosexually behaving teens and young adults suffer increased rates of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addictions and suicidal thoughts. In addition, boys who adopt a homosexual lifestyle because of the influence of their same-sex parents face a 30% chance of being dead or HIV-positive by the age of 30.
At the core we are dealing here, not with loving couples but with homosexuality and the destruction of the family unit – the fundamental cell of society.
Gay parades are about the celebration of unbridled lust. One hopes that future public displays of decadent debauchery and sexual permissiveness will not be tolerated.
