The public health crisis stemming from homosexual behavior continues. A new, hard to diagnose strain of chlamydia is spreading through the community of "men who have sex with men." Keep in mind that some of these men -- "bisexuals"-- then spread these diseases to women. Common strains of chlamydia are known for causing infertility in women. The Associated Press is reporting:
A particularly bad strain of chlamydia not usually seen in this country appears to be slowly spreading among gay and bisexual men, an infection that can increase their chances of getting or spreading the AIDS virus....
[T]his illness is incredibly hard to diagnose: Few U.S. clinics and laboratories can test for it. Painful symptoms can be mistaken for other illnesses, such as irritable bowel syndrome.
And because LGV chlamydia doesn't always cause noticeable symptoms — right away, at least — an unknown number of people may silently harbor and spread it, along with an increased risk of HIV transmission.
"My feeling is that what we're seeing now is still the tip of the iceberg," says Dr. Philippe Chiliade of the Whitman-Walker Clinic in Washington, D.C., which diagnosed its first few cases of LGV last month and is beginning to push for asymptomatic men to be screened....
Chlamydia, caused by bacteria, is among the most common sexually transmitted diseases. As many as 3 million Americans a year may become infected with common strains, best known for causing infertility in women if left untreated.... LGV can infect both sexes, although new cases diagnosed so far are among men having sex with men.

Mass. Taxes: Funding Vile "Vagina Monologues"
Your Massachusetts tax dollars are contributing to a production of the vile "Vagina Monologues" in that quiet, lovely suburban community of Littleton. Posters advertising the event are littering the walls all around that area (and little children are sure to see them).
The usual suspects -- a group at the Unitarian church -- are putting on a production partly funded by the Massachusetts Cultural Council. (You can check your own town to see what's being funded there.)
Here's a list of VM productions around Massachusetts. Will it will be performed at the college your child attends -- or that you donate to?

Public Health Crisis of Homosexuality
Are people finally gaining the nerve to speak openly about the public health crisis of homosexuality? We've had Dr. John Diggs's article posted on this blog for some time. But the politically-correct doctrine on AIDS has silenced many, afraid to be labelled "homophobes" or "insensitive." If we care about people involved in the "lifestyle" -- as well as the more abstract "public health" -- we should speak the truth.
At last week's Education Committee hearing on mandatory sex/homosex ed (Bill H1641), some testimony addressed these public health dangers. Notably, Dr. Gilbert Lavoie, an epidemiologist, pointed out that the risk of contracting HIV through anal intercourse is five times greater than through vaginal intercourse. (This is from CDC statistics.)
Yet many sex ed curricula never warn our children of this, instead treating both types of intercourse as equivalent and equally acceptable behaviors. And the whole propaganda movement in the schools -- the gay clubs, "Day of Silence", "Ally Day" etc. -- ignore the health aspect, and just present homosexuality as a "civil rights" issue.
(We're still waiting for someone to address the plague of so-called "bisexuality", which spreads diseases from "men who have sex with men" to females.)
WorldNetDaily recently published an outline of the public health concerns with homosexuality:

WorldNetDaily recently published an outline of the public health concerns with homosexuality:
- the higher incidence of sexually transmitted disease, not only HIV/AIDS
- risky behaviors, such as "unprotected sex" [and we might add "bug chasing"]
- promiscuity
- domestic abuse [a big problem in the lesbian community]
- shortened life span: sexually active homosexual male lifespan shortened by 8-20 years (1997 study in Journal of Epidemiology)
Rep. Alice Wolf: Arrogance of Power
Wolf about to promote her Bill H1641 at Education Committee, 1-31-06Rep. Alice Wolf, chief sponsor of H1641 -- the bill that would mandate sex/homosex ed -- has told the majority of Massachusetts citizens that they need to agree with her, or they have no business living in Massachusetts! If you don't think the state should have the final say on the moral education of your children in matters of sexuality, just leave the state!
That's a message pro-family activists are harassed with frequently in Massachusetts. The initial signers of the new marriage referendum are barraged with travel brochures in their mailboxes. Signers of the marriage petition receive phone calls from "gay" activists, calling them "homophobes." The MassResistance/Article 8 office gets emails urging their relocation to "Georgia, with the other bigots." And a pro-family activist's home has been broken into, with the message "LEAVE" left as a calling card.
The Boston Globe reported (Jan. 30, 2006 before the hearing on H1641):
The bill's main sponsor Representative Alice K. Wolf, Democrat of Cambridge said parents can have their children taken out of the sex education classes. [How can this be if it's a requirement?!] But she said the health education standards simply reflect a changing world. Same-sex marriage is legal in Massachusetts, and popular television shows portray gay and lesbian relationships.
"That's the way life is," said Wolf, who is also a member of the Legislature's Joint Education Committee. "If people don't want to accept that, I don't know where they can live."
Apparently, she doesn't want them to live in Massachusetts and bother her. This is typical of the arrogance of the liberals in our state legislature.
Not only is Wolf spreading the myth that "gay marriage is legal" in Massachusetts, she has actually performed the "marriage" ceremony for a "gay" activist (who writes about how to sneak homosexual propaganda into the public schools). And she is endorsed by all the culture-of-death groups (pro-abortion, pro-radical feminist, pro-homosexual "rights").
Great Article by Don Feder: Europe's Death Wish
Another great article by Massachusetts' own Don Feder (former long-time columnist for the Boston Herald) in today's GrasstopsUSA:
"HOMOPHOBIA," DEMOGRAPHIC DECLINE, ISLAMIC IMMIGRATION AND THE EUROPEAN DEATH WISH":
Instead of death by the slow poison of modernism, the Europeans might consider mass suicide. Either way, the outcome will be the same. Europe today is pathological.
Healthy societies exalt the family. Sick societies celebrate perversion -- and seek to ban healthy aversion to the same, in the name of equality.
Healthy societies have a clear understanding of who they are and how they arrived where they are. They both acknowledge and honor their religious roots. Sick societies are militantly secular. They engage in historical revisionism, pretending that faith played no part in their development.
Healthy societies have children. Sick societies are marked by below-replacement birthrates. They refuse to reproduce themselves. Having rejected faith, family and future, they lack an incentive for procreation.
The foregoing is crucial for understanding the resolution Homophobia in Europe, which was overwhelmingly enacted by the parliament of the European Union last month. ...

Boston Globe's Biased Source on "Hate Crimes"
The Boston Globe's original report on the New Bedford punk's attack at a gay bar included a graph showing the incidence of "hate crimes" in Massachusetts. If you look carefully at the graph, you'll notice the source is hardly reliable: "Fenway Community Health Center", the same place that encourages young men to engage in anal sex and possibly contract HIV/AIDS (for which they'll be paid $230).
Note also that the numbers from Fenway are not of prosecuted crimes. Who knows where their numbers come from. Reliable sources indicate that the incidence of crimes based on sexual orientation are declining.
See Robert Knight's citations, 'Hate Crime' Laws: An Assault on Freedom:
Homosexual activists often exaggerate the incidence of "hate crimes," which make up less than 1 percent of all crimes. Over the past several years, even with more law enforcement agencies reporting, the number of "hate crimes" based on "sexual orientation" has dropped.
In 2003, Americans were victimized by approximately 11 million "non-hate" crimes such as muggings, beatings, murders and property crime, such as burglaries, car theft and vandalism. Nearly 1.4 million of the crimes were classified as "violent crimes."
By contrast, there were 7,489 "hate crime" incidents, of which 1,239 were attributed to "sexual orientation" bias. That's a drop of five from the 2002 total of 1,244, and down 154 from 1,393 in 2001.3
Meanwhile, homosexual activist groups and law enforcement agencies tracking "gay-on-gay" domestic violence reported 6,523 cases in 2003, up 13 percent from 5,718 in 2002.4
People involved in homosexual behavior are astronomically more likely to be assaulted by another homosexual than to become the victim of a "hate crime."
What's more, the "hate crime" concept is profoundly subjective. According to FBI statistics,5 five forcible rapes in 2003 were classified as "hate crimes." Overall, 93,433 forcible rapes were reported in 2003, which means the other 93,428 rapes were not "hate crimes."
Also in 2003, some 16,503 criminal homicides were reported, of which 14 were classified as "hate crimes." Six were said to be based on "sexual orientation," and five were said to be based on racial bias.

Ex-Gay Exposes Truth about Homosexual Rights Movement
Do you pro-family activists have the courage to read and digest this? A powerful expose on the truth about the homosexual lifestyle. The author, an ex-gay, pulls no punches.
Among other things, the author makes clear that there's no such thing as monogamous "gay" relationships. In his 20 years living as a "gay", he never encountered one such couple.
Think about this: There's never been a definition of ethical standards (for sexual behavior) by any of the "religious" leaders of the homosexual movement, only a demolition of traditional religious/ethical standards. (Since this is a Catholic magazine, there's an interesting discussion of an ex-priest behind the so-called Catholic homosexual activist "Dignity" movement.)
In the February issue of The New Oxford Review, "The Truth About the Homosexual Rights Movement; The Books Were a Front for the Porn," by Ronald G. Lee. Here are the opening paragraphs:
There was a "gay" bookstore called Lobo's in Austin, Texas, when I was living there as a grad student. The layout was interesting. Looking inside from the street all you saw were books. It looked like any other bookstore. There was a section devoted to classic "gay" fiction by writers such as Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, and W.H. Auden. There were biographies of prominent "gay" icons, some of whom, like Walt Whitman, would probably have accepted the homosexual label, but many of whom, like Whitman's idol, President Lincoln, had been commandeered for the cause on the basis of evidence no stronger than a bad marriage or an intense same-sex friendship. There were impassioned modern "gay" memoirs, and historical accounts of the origins and development of the "gay rights" movement. It all looked so innocuous and disarmingly bourgeois. But if you went inside to browse, before long you noticed another section, behind the books, a section not visible from the street. The pornography section. Hundreds and hundreds of pornographic videos, all involving men, but otherwise catering to every conceivable sexual taste or fantasy. And you would notice something else too. There were no customers in the front. All the customers were in the back, rooting through the videos. As far as I know, I am the only person who ever actually purchased a book at Lobo's. The books were, in every sense of the word, a front for the porn.
So why waste thousands of dollars on books that no one was going to buy? It was clear from the large "on sale" section that only a pitifully small number of books were ever purchased at their original price. The owners of Lobo's were apparently wasting a lot of money on gay novels and works of gay history, when all the real money was in pornography. But the money spent on books wasn't wasted. It was used to purchase a commodity that is more precious than gold to the gay rights establishment. Respectability. Respectability and the appearance of normalcy. Without that investment, we would not now be engaged in a serious debate about the legalization of same-sex "marriage." By the time I lived in Austin, I had been thinking of myself as a gay man for almost 20 years. Based on the experience acquired during those years, I recognized in Lobo's a metaphor for the strategy used to sell gay rights to the American people, and for the sordid reality that strategy concealed.
