Is it possible to heal homosexuality?

In Iran homosexuals are put to death…here’s the latest from Fox News…I’m sure we can all agree, no matter what side of the issue we’re on, that we all condemn the death penalty just because someone is a practicing homosexual.

 

If you’ve read any of my posts from the past, you know that I am opposed to civil unions and gay marriage for a multitude of reasons. But there’s a significant difference between being opposed to  CUs for homosexuals and believing someone should be put to death.

 

This leads to exploring a new study about whether or not homosexuals can be healed and become heterosexuals.

 

Here’s the recent research on the possibility of changing sexual orientation.

 

Okay, yeah, I already know that the chimps won’t like it, and more than likely I’ll be called more bad and creative names. That’s okay.

 

However, since my husband and I spent many years in ministry counseling homosexuals, I can personally attest to the fact that they can be “healed” of homosexuality. As in any other complex issue people deal with; e.g., sexual abuse, alcoholism, pedophilia, etc., because God created us with free will, a person must first be willing to change.

National Gay-Rights Group is Right!

NH Dem Chair Ray Buckley (GG file photo)

 

Click here first to read my post: Is Civil Union Legislation Based on Lies? Then click here and read “Gay-Rights Group Pushed for State Democrats in ’06.” More disturbing is this article from the Boston Globe. Yep, that’s right, they were the single biggest donor to the democrats. But, of course the dems weren’t influenced by the money, geez, ya gotta explain everything. da mi il soldi!

 

Spending almost $150,000 on New Hampshire state races by the Human Rights Campaign…I wonder why they just don’t call it what it is; i.e., Gay Rights Campaign?…paid off for them. They switched their focus from national politics to influence state politics, particularly NH, Iowa and Oregon. Smart move, I’d say.

 

I recently read an opinion published in one of the papers that said there was no out-of-state influence regarding pushing civil unions in NH. Well, the Human Rights Campaign donation would prove that person’s theory wrong. Not only did they contribute money, according to the editorial, but an employee traveled to NH to assist with get-out-the-vote efforts and phone-banks. Do you think he was encouraging Republicans to vote?

 

The President of the Human Rights Campaign states:

 

“We understood that in order to change things at the federal level, we had to play a role in changing things locally.”

 

Of course they were successful in changing things here locally. They don’t live in NH and NH citizens didn’t get a chance to vote on the issue of civil unions, but I guess many NH citizens simply are too apathetic to care that NH was being influenced by “outsiders.”

Oh no, It’s Ann (Not Dennis) Miller Time!

 

Have you ever watched “Miller Time” on the O’Reilly Factor on Fox News? If you have, you know that Dennis Miller is not just one funny dude, but he’s smart as a whip.

I listen to Dennis on WTPL, 107.7 FM from 10 am until 1 pm every chance I get. While he talks about very serious subjects, he always approaches them with his unique sense of humor. He’s one of the few people I know who can slam someone or some cause yet, because he’s always laughing and does it in such good humor, it’s difficult to take offense to his position even if you don’t agree with him.

Then there’s Ann Miller, Executive Director of NH Peace Action. Not only does Ann not seem to have much of a sense of humor, she’s also lacking in the smart as a whip department.

Click on her letter recently published in the Monitor, Giuliani’s Offensive Foreign Policy here, and you’ll see why she’s no pie in the face comedian and just not too bright.

My personal history with Ann goes back several months. After I read an article she wrote published in NH Magazine and after reading several stories from several newspapers, I wrote Ann and she called me. The first words out of her mouth were that I had “disrespected her” by referring to her as Tokyo Ann.

For you youngins out there, here’s a bit about Tokyo Rose whom I based my Tokyo Ann comment on:

A civil union restrains no one’s liberty. It affects no private contracts."  The other is "Unlike some … Read more
