A
US Christian Radio Host, Linda Harvey, has claimed human's aren't
naturally homosexual, aren't human and shouldn't be protected by the
US constitution.
Research shows that highly religious people
are less compassionate. It appears this woman can't even fake
compassion, enough to not use a favourite liable of Nazis against
Jews, Blacks and Gays.
She Argues “Why should the equal
protection argument be made in favour of homosexual behaviour, which
is changeable? People are not naturally homosexual, so the definition
of person in the Fourteenth Amendment is being twisted to make this
assumption.” Of course her comments fly in the face of science. And
is absurd on its face, as we can observe, Why should the equal
protection argument be made in favour of clothes wearing behaviour?
People don't wear clothes naturally(while it is a common practise
enforced by social convention and the need for protection from the
elements), which is changeable, so the definition of person in the
Fourteenth Amendment is being twisted to make this assumption.
She
continues “One thing our culture does not want if it wants to
survive is to have its youth corrupted and this is happening in oh so
many ways now, and homosexuality is one more. And here’s how it
works with homosexuality: since no pregnancy threat exists, some
people think there’s no reason to prohibit behaviour in the young,
even the very young.” Young people aren't indoctrinated into being
gay and the suggestion that they are amounts to an unfounded
accusation of paedophilia. Long before the current wider acceptance
of gay people and even today, gay youth today struggle to come to
terms with knowing that they have little attraction to the opposite
sex when their environment is hostile to gay people, for many if they
could be not gay they would. Which is which so many outwardly
homophobic preachers and politicians end up being force out of the
closet in some outrageous sex scandal, Ted Haggard anyone?

recently Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association claimed
that being gay is the “result of a birth defect” citing research
published in the Quarterly review of Biology. This misrepresentation
of science stems from a study that demonstrated that homosexuality
runs in families, passing from mothers to sons and from fathers to
daughters, and adding weight to the genetic disposition hypothesis of
homosexuality. Fischer hit the headlines previously for claiming that
there should be a new underground railway for children of same sex
couple so they could be raise in heterosexual homes.
