Same-sex issues: the controversies continue
There are many difficulties involved anytime one engages in discourse about same-sex issues. There is the political, the religious, the pastoral. There is the belief — or lack thereof — that people can and actually do change their 'orientation'. There is concern about how other countries and cultures handle homosexuality and about how the West is embedding LGBT rights legally, religiously and also culturally via its educational system. I am thinking here in particular of Kevin Jennings' (US 'Safe School Czar') GLSEN clubs presently in 4,000 public schools, clubs which describe and promote various LGBT sexual practices to children 12 and above through its recommended reading lists (see here (warning)).
These issues constitute a veritable minefield. A recent skirmish comes from OneNews Now, which wrote up something here which has since been modified here. Warren Throckmorton's site is here and Peter LaBarbera's site is here.
One of my ex-gay friends had been enmeshed in the gay scene for many years but has since come out and now self-labels and -identifies as 'straight'. He recently said to me that some of those who have never been on his kind of journey appear to find it far easier to minimise and dismiss it than to be critical of the gay party line they claim to oppose.
