The three step program and its ramifications on human sexuality
There is a political move happening and I will quote something from the e-book that I am currently reading called “The ‘Born Gay’ Hoax” by Ryan Sorba. I have previously written about this before HERE. Ryan Sorba spoke to a crowd of Gay Activists on this matter who were were for the first time hearing facts without all the emotionalism. They were clearly affected by what Ryan had to say and as one witness put it…You could see the confusion (and a little anger) in their eyes as their ideological world was being taken apart. Plus, they were so used to dealing with this issue in an emotional and illogical way that they are rhetorically crippled when forced to deal on a logical and factual basis. You can download the book which is only 95 pages long from HERE [PDF file].
Well I have read through just over a quarter of it and wanted to post on what actually happened to the American Psychiatric Association and why it was that they changed their mind on homosexuality. In a chapter called “The Intimidation of the American Psychiatric Association” and with the following introduction quote…“It was never a medical decision—and that’s why I think the action came so fast…It was a political move.” “That’s how far we’ve come in ten years. Now we even have the American Psychiatric Association running scared.” (Barbara Gittings, Pro‐Sodomy Activist), Ryan Sorba documents the following…
30 militants broke into a meeting of the American Psychiatric Association in Washington, where they turned the staid proceedings into near chaos for twenty minutes. ‘We are here to denounce your authority to call us sick or mentally disordered,’ shouted the group’s leader, Dr. Franklin Kameny, while the 2,000 shocked psychiatrists looked on in disbelief. ‘For us, as homosexuals, your profession is the enemy incarnate. We demand that psychiatrists treat us as human beings, not as patients to be cured!’” (Newsweek, 8‐23‐71, p.47)
Ironically, at the very moment Franklin Kameny was claiming that sodomy was healthy, safe, and natural a deadly virus was silently passing through communities of men all over the nation. Only a decade later, thousands of men would be dead or dying of AIDS.
On June 7, 1971, Franklin Kameny wrote a letter to the Psychiatric News threatening the APA with not only more, but worse, disruptions. In this letter he states, “Our presence there was only the beginning of an increasingly intensive campaign by homosexuals to change the
approach of psychiatry toward homosexuality or, failing that, to discredit psychiatry.” (The Gay Crusaders, p. 130‐131)
To a very serious point now… as I have been reading about this homosexual political move, and as I have noted that there was pressure from the gay lobbyists to change the APA to say that homosexuality is not a sickness per se but normal for the homosexual individual… I found that I had a question that nagged at me. Couldn’t that argument be used for things such as pedophilia, bestiality and such?In fact, I have an older link that suggests that this very question is being asked within the APA.
Because psychiatry does not follow or allow for any real absolutes therefore it changes as culture changes there is a very real possibility that pedophilia etcetera may have to be reassessed.
On Monday, May 19th, 2003 in San Francisco, at a symposium hosted by the American Psychiatric Association, several long-recognized categories of mental illness were discussed for possible removal from the upcoming edition of the psychiatric manual of mental disorders.
Among the mental illnesses being debated in the symposium at the APA’s annual convention were all the paraphilias–which include pedophilia, exhibitionism, fetishism, transvestism, voyeurism, and sadomasochism.
And this…
Pedophiles Argue Their Case in the Journal of Homosexuality
Gay culture does not grant the pedophile movement general acceptance. It does, however, offer a peripheral credibility to this movement which pedophilia has never been granted in the culture at large. Members of NAMBLA (The North American Man-Boy Love Association) march in some gay pride parades.
“Born that Way and Can’t Change”
In another article, “‘The Main Thing is Being Wanted’: Some Case Studies on Adult Sexual Experiences with Children,” the author says that one-third of the pedophiles he has studied claimed that “their sexual desire for children is a natural part of their constitution. This desire is variously described as ‘inbred,’ ‘innate,’ ‘a fact of nature,’ ‘inherent in them,’ etc. The leitmotif of their accounts is ‘this is me’ or ‘just the way I am.’”
The author concludes that the feeling of being “born a pedophile” makes them feel they cannot change, and therefore they are convinced they have the same right as other people to pursue the “natural” expression of their sexuality. (p. 133). The same author quotes a respondent’s belief that “if adult-child sex was commonplace, the majority of it would surely be good for both participants.” (p. 137).
The argument “Born that way” can obviously be used to justify anything! And so can… what’s normal for one person is normal for them, but not necessarily normal for everybody argument. So, ‘individual normality’ is deemed as being the guiding truth to the individual only. There is a danger in this as this may create a society filled with primitive archaic megalomaniacs resulting in societal anarchy.
The other thing that I have noticed in reading this book is that there is a three step plan for ‘complete acceptance’ in society that has, and is being unfolded as we speak. The first one was to get the medical field to say that homosexuality is not a sickness to be cured but rather normal for each individual homosexual, transgendered and bisexual person .They have changed the minds of the American Psychiatric Association by constantly using aggressive confrontation whenever the APA got together in prominence to assess mental health. This all happened in 1973 or there about’s.
So, that was the first goal; if it is classed as normal in the medical field you cannot discriminate.
So what logically follows of course is the political one. Because they are now classed as “normal” then politically they have equal rights as every other married couple because it is normal for them to be with same sex partners etcetera. As we all know, they have won that political fight!
The last fight for them is to hit the conservative religions. This is not necessarily only Christian — albeit mostly — but conservatism can be found in other religions such as Islam and Judaism. SoulForce which is a group of gay activists have now entered into dialogue with influential Christian Churches [Hat tip: Sola Dei Gloria].
Of course with the post-modern — and dare I say it, the individualistic and pluralistic society we live in today — their fight will be an easy one. Why? Because the battle field has already been flattened by democratic pluralistic post-modern equality!
Sorry about this nasty topic, but these issues are becoming more and more political, and as Christians we have to be able to understand how this three step program works! And we have to be very aware of where this may lead. As I have noted, other sexual practices that may seem abhorrent to us now, are currently being discussed and reassessed as perhaps being ‘individually normal’ within the medical field. The same tactics which have been proven to work for the homosexual community could also work to legitimise sexual practices that, as of today, we still call sick and perverted. What we consider as sick and perverted today may change in the not too distant future.
