There's a politically-correct silence concerning the apparent collapse of the Dept. of Public Health's STD control efforts, especially concerning HIV/AIDS and other diseases highly correlated with homosexual sex practices. There's also been little public discussion of the now abandoned effort to control STDs in the heterosexual population at the time a couple applies for a marriage license.
Until January 2005, a couple could not marry without a physician's certificate of health verifying that each person was free of certain STDs. But this part of the marriage statutes (MGL Ch. 207, Sec. 28A) was overturned when Gov. Romney signed into law House Bill #75 on Oct. 29, 2004. Why did Romney do this? Wasn't the marriage health certificate an important part of controlling the STD epidemic? (Remember too, the DPH is under Gov. Romney's authority.)
Do we need to connect the dots? If marriage licenses were still denied to homosexual males with STDs monitored by the DPH, how many of them would still be able to "marry"? Does anyone know of some other reason the health certificate requirement was done away with?
See this page from the Division of Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD), part of the DPH's Bureau of Communicable Disease Control: http://www.mass.gov/dph/cdc/std/divstd.htm . The two info alerts below -- one on waiving the marriage health certificate, the other on STD issues in the "men who have sex with men" population --are ironically juxtaposed on that same page.

Foley's Case Typical: Molested Youth Often Turn to Homosexuality
Stephen Bennett, an ex-homosexual with a Christian ministry reaching out to homosexuals hoping to change, has some interesting things to say about the Mark Foley story. See Ex-Homosexual Ministry Leader: 'My Heart Breaks for Mark Foley.' (Agape Press, 10-5-06) Excerpts:
According to the ministry founder [Bennett], what the disgraced political figure needs to do now is to admit he has a problem and take full responsibility for his actions.... Foley's attorney told the press that the Congressman is, in fact, homosexual and that he had been sexually abused by a clergyman while between the ages of 13 and 15.
Stephen Bennett, a former homosexual and founder of Stephen Bennett Ministries (SBM), says his ministry often deals with homosexuals who were abused as youngsters. In fact, he says there is a definite correlation between molestation and homosexuality.
"This is the truth that people need to understand, that molestation is a vicious, vicious cycle and the media is afraid -- most of the secular media, because it's politically incorrect -- to make that association between molestation and homosexuality," Bennett says. However, he asserts, just because Foley has suffered at the hands of a homosexual clergyman does not mean the former Congressman has to be a by-product of that cycle....
[I]t is time, Bennett urges, for people "to stop worrying about being 'politically correct' in the media regarding homosexuality and finally deal with the truth ... that homosexual (and heterosexual) molestation of children can and [does] produce future homosexual men and women.
"Foley's story is so tragically typical," Stephen Bennett says. But the good news, he adds, is that the former Congressman and others like him can find deliverance from the homosexual lifestyle through a relationship with Christ, because help and hope are available, and change is completely possible.

WHO Is Targeting David Parker & Parents' Rights?
GLAD Attorney 
Ms. Lee Swislow,
A partial rogues' gallery of the people going after David Parker in his defense of parents' rights. GLAD (Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders) is one of the groups that colluded with Chief Justice Margaret Marshall on the "homosexual marriage" ruling.
David Parker wasn't imagining things when he said he didn't want his little son taught about "transgenderism"!

Deval Patrick Supports Most Extreme GLBT Demands
Above: QueerToday.com organizer and BAGLY manager Mark Snyder with Deval Patrick and friend. Right: Riot last Oct. 30 organized by Snyder of QueerToday in attempt to shut down the LoveWonOut ex-gay conference at Tremont Temple Baptist Church in Boston.
Nothing is too far out for Dem gov candidate Deval Patrick. Here he is smiling with one of the most extreme members of the GLBT street gang, QueerToday. We've noted Patrick's appearance at the Harvard GLBT forum where he promised to do WHATEVER a "transgender" radical might ask of him. And he attended a big fundraiser for the Mass. Gay & Lesbian Political Caucus in July, just a few weeks after its chief lobbyist was arrested for soliciting UMass college boys for oral sex.
Doesn't it bother most voters that Patrick supports those wanting to destroy the natural family and marriage, shut down churches, and indoctrinate children from an early age without their parents' consent?

Cover-Up of Massachusetts' Own Foley-Type Scandal
Massachusetts' very own scandal: Chief Lobbyist for Mass. Gay & Lesbian Political Caucus (currently running the State House), Bill Conley (on right) arrested in July for soliciting UMass college boys for oral sex. Here he's shown cheering on his young charges in his role as member of Governor's [yes Mitt, that's you] Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth Pride parade, May 2005. On the State House steps (where else?)
Where's the outrage?
Massachusetts has its own Foley-type scandal: The head GLBT lobbyist at the Mass. State House -- who also worked with children on the "Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth" -- was arrested in July for internet solicitation of U. Mass. college boys for oral sex. That incident, first reported in late July/early August, sank in the local media. (We wonder why?) So it's MassResistance's job to remind everyone of our home-grown (come to think of it, Foley was home-grown too -- in Newton!) "gay" man with a hankering for fit young bodies.
The arrested lobbyist, William Conley, had a lead role in organizing "GLBT youth" as member of the "Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth." Our group just happened to catch his participation at the 2005 Youth Pride event (above photo), where he is cheering on the youth parade, standing on the State House steps with other activists of unknown character. Just as it's odd for a Congressman to be IM'ing a boy while awaiting a vote, it seems a bit odd to us that these middle-aged men would spend their Saturday afternoon organizing and attending a parade for very troubled teenagers who have been persuaded that anal sex and cross-dressing are healthy expressions of their inborn identities.
Let's just bury our heads in the sand. Pretend it's not happening. That's what the Log Cabin Republicans ("gay" RINOs) are doing: They've erased Foley's photo from their web site! Well, MassResistance will NOT be erasing any of the photos we've taken over the past decade. (And you've only seen a few of them so far!)
For some good commentary of the Foley story, check out:
Peter LaBarbera, Americans for Truth
Wall Street Journal editorial, "Paging Mr. Hastert" (10-3-06)
And from Linda Harvey, "Sexual fascism and the Mark Foley scandal":
Apparently, Rep. Mark Foley is homosexual. And like many homosexual men, he likes young teen boys. We should pray for him that he gets a handle on this problem and refrains from harming any more kids. Meanwhile, we need to wake up. The fact that this is typical behavior for homosexuals doesn't stop us from continuing to elevate such folks to positions where they gain access to our kids.
And the liberal wing of the GOP – the "It's My Party, Too" crowd – shelters and nurtures those who pose a serious threat to children in this and many other ways. Foley is on the advisory board of the radically liberal –- not "moderate"– PAC led by Christie Todd Whitman, who vetoed a partial-birth abortion ban bill while governor of New Jersey and supports homosexual "marriage." ... I guess they would all agree with Whitman's comment that homosexuals marrying wouldn't affect "her" marriage. Strange, but I thought adults were supposed to learn that it's not about "us." There's a bigger picture out there that grown-ups, including governors and congressional leaders, should learn about.
Yes, it will affect your marriage, Christie – because it will change the cultural norms, including what all of us are expected to accept and what all children are taught. Our children are endangered if we fail to leave them a legacy of sexual responsibility in the context of traditional marriage. But no – we unleash upon them public leaders with standards of the sewer.
Open or suspected homosexuals should never be elected. The problem with homosexuals is that they frequently don't have common sense and don't acknowledge appropriate boundaries. Weird sex, public displays of "affection" and nudity, and sex with youth are built into the "gay" sub-culture. Witness any pride parade, stroll around any predominantly "gay" neighborhood, or visit "GLBT" websites and you quickly see the problem. ...
Foley's leadership on the issue of child predator protection is amazing. There's little personal shame and much truth-twisting among homosexuals regarding youth. We need people of character in office, not those who are "double-minded," whose public leadership is at odds with their personal behavior.

Romney Obeys Some Laws, Makes Up Others, Buys Goodwill
A group from MassResistance greeted would-be Romney supporters at the NH Republican State Convention on Saturday (Sept. 30). We warned them that Romney is not the pro-family champion he claims to be in his tours around the country. The response to our handouts ran the gamut from steely straight-ahead glances (from those receiving $ from Romney's Commonwealth PAC for their campaigns? and college students rumored -- we were told by a delegate -- to be paid by Romney to come cheer him?) -- to nods and smiles from those who already knew they couldn't trust him.
As we pointed out in our posting on the RI "lesbian marriage" ruling, Romney is still confused about the LAW. Why insist on enforcing it in some cases (re: the REAL 1913 LAW barring out-of-staters marrying in Mass. if that marriage is not allowed in their home state), but make it up in others (where's the statute authorizing in-state homosexual marriages?)
"I have to follow the law. This is a nation of laws, even if I don't like them," Romney said in NH on Saturday. We gather he believes he can also MAKE the laws sometimes. So is the law he made up -- allowing homosexual marriage -- one he likes, or not? We're not just dealing with judicial tyranny in Massachusetts. We also have executive branch tyranny. And a royal state of confusion, encouraged by the mainstream media.
So there are lots of confused Republicans, partly due to Romney's dishonesty, partly due to media coverups, and partly due to the money that's being spread around.
The Boston Globe reported yesterday that Romney's Commonwealth PAC gave $100,000 to NH Republicans last year, and gave the Republican State Committee another $60,000 over the summer. So there's quite a bit of goodwill built up. No wonder many NH Republicans didn't want to take our handouts. He's also doling out money to key primary states in his role as chairman of the Republican Governors Association (to Florida, Michigan, Iowa), according to the Globe (10-1-06).
Back to the question which raged in 2004: Why does Romney think anyone has to follow the latest crazy ruling by a judge, anyhow? Why doesn't he order Massachusetts officials to deny the marriage licenses or ceremonies to the out-of-staters? Then he'd be upholding the law.

Rep. Foley and Pedophile "Mentoring"
Florida Rep. Mark Foley's story reminds us once again of all the pedophiles out there. Note that the Congressman lyingly told another Congressman he was just "mentoring" the page he harassed.
This reminded us of the volunteer opportunities we saw listed on the "Friends of the Governor's Commission on GLBT Youth" web site. Sure, most of these people are probably OK. But, are we being careful enough? Are Commission members or its "Friends" who volunteer with these vulnerable youth subject to criminal background checks -- as are most parents who just want to go on field trips with their own children's schools? Just asking.
Also over the weekend we encountered the series Oprah is doing on pedophiles (thanks to Americans for Truth). She points us to this NY Times report by Kurt Eichenwald on pedophiles' use of the internet (8-21-06). Pedophiles claim they're struggling to achieve "rights" for children. Excerpts:
Today, pedophiles go online to seek tips for getting near children — at camps, through foster care, at community gatherings and at countless other events. [Like the Youth Pride march and prom?] They swap stories about day-to-day encounters with minors. And they make use of technology to help take their arguments to others, like sharing online a printable booklet to be distributed to children that extols the benefits of sex with adults....
In this online community, pedophiles view themselves as the vanguard of a nascent movement seeking legalization of child pornography and the loosening of age-of-consent laws. They portray themselves as battling for children’s rights to engage in sex with adults, a fight they liken to the civil rights movement. And while their effort has brought little success, they celebrated online in May when a small group of men in the Netherlands formed a pedophile political party, and they rejoiced again last month when a Dutch court upheld the party’s right to exist....
In essence, the groups deem potentially injurious acts and beliefs harmless. That is accomplished in part by denying that a victim is injured, condemning critics and appealing to higher loyalties — in this case, an ostensible struggle for the sexual freedom of children.
From summaries of the recent Oprah segments:
Many sexual predators choose to keep their preferences a secret, while others are vocal about their attraction to minors. In 1978, a support group for men who have sexual feelings toward young boys was founded in Boston. It is known as NAMBLA, the North American Man-Boy Love Association. According to NAMBLA's website, members "support the rights of youth, as well as adults, to choose the partners with whom they wish to share and enjoy their bodies." This controversial organization doesn't advocate breaking any laws, and it is not illegal to become a member....
According to Kurt [Eichenwald, NY Times reporter], many online predators believe children have a desire to have sex with adults and that other adults—like parents—force them to "deny their desires."A lot of what passes for advocacy, Kurt says, is simply a smoke screen in these communities. The crime takes place when fantasies translate into real, daily life, he says.
During his investigation, Kurt found predators may have acted upon fantasies in one place where children should feel safe—the classroom. Kurt was shocked to learn through his research that the most common job for pedophiles is teaching. He says one principal said in an online chat that he met his first "YF"—a popular abbreviation for "Young Friend"—when he was sent to his office for discipline.
