A paper available upon request (homosexual orientation in males:evolutionary
and ethological aspects) dated 2001 suggests a minority of homosexual behavior
may be caused by nueroendocrine imbalance while the great majority of
homosexual behavior is a phenotypic adaptation more appropriately deemed
opportunistic and circumstantial as in prison homosexuality - so think - are we changing
our religions and our societies for a tiny fraction of individuals who are
inescapably homosexual or are we really changing all of society for the
homosexual majority who are opportunistic or "cultured" (learned) homosexuals.
Homosexuals are not trying to peacefully co-exist with traditional society - they are
working very hard to obliterate it with much less tolerance for traditional
society than traditional society has shown to them. Remember, young boys who do
not have hormonal imbalances and are not intrinsic homosexuals may be
coerced into becoming cultured or learned homosexuals whether by the media subtly or
if confined with other males who are deprived of sexual acticity as in prison
or coming under the influence of homosexual males socially.
Everyone knows Mathew Shepard's name. Do any of you remember the name of the
young boy who was kidnapped in texas, bound with duct tape and smothered to
death while two homosexuals repeatedly raped him?

Henry VIII would well understand some recent rulings by Canadian courts.
But the rulings may point to America's future as much as England's past.
The Canadian judgments are not as drastic as Henry's. Heads are not
rolling in Ontario. But the issue is the same one the English tyrant
raised in the 16th century and U.S. courts may face again soon: Can
government compel people to act against their conscience?
Thomas More, Henry's one-time chancellor, bared his neck to an
executioner rather than take an oath demanded by Henry.
More would not risk his eternal life on what he deemed incorrect
theology. While conceding Henry's sovereignty over the state, he denied
his supremacy in matters of faith and morals. As a Catholic, More
believed that authority belonged to the Pope. That was not good enough
for Henry: He beheaded More to intimidate others unwilling to surrender
their souls to the king's moral guidance.
Catholics and non-Catholics, of course, disagree on More's theology. But
lovers of liberty, from many religious traditions, cherish the freedom of
conscience More died to defend. As late as 1966, Hollywood made an
Academy Award-winning film -- "A Man For All Seasons" -- celebrating
More's life.
So what in Canada reminds me of More? Take the case of Scott Brockie, an
evangelical Christian who owns a Toronto printing business.
In 1996, Ray Brillinger, then-vice president of the Canadian Lesbian and
Gay Archives, asked Brockie to print the group's letterhead, envelopes
and business cards. According to an opinion issued last June by the
Ontario Divisional Court, Brockie held "a sincere religious belief . . .
that homosexual conduct is sinful and, in furtherance of that belief, he
must not assist in the dissemination of information intended to spread
the acceptance of a gay or lesbian ('homosexual') lifestyle. Mr. Brockie
draws a distinction between acting for customers who are homosexual and
acting in furtherance of a homosexual lifestyle."
No one contested that Brockie served gay customers. The question was
whether government could force him to print materials for an organization
that promoted the gay lifestyle.
Brillinger complained to the Ontario Human Rights Commission. The
commission ordered Brockie to pay $5,000 in damages and to provide
printing in the future to gay and lesbian organizations.
Brockie appealed. The Divisional Court split the difference. Brockie, it
said, should have printed the materials requested by the Canadian Lesbian
and Gay Archives, because "limits on Mr. Brockie's right to freedom of
religion in the peripheral area of the commercial marketplace are
justified where the exercise of that freedom causes harm to others . . .
by infringing the . . . right to be free from discrimination based on
sexual orientation in obtaining commercial services."
On the other hand, the court conjectured, there might be limits to the
limits government could place on Brockie's religious freedom even in the
marketplace. It probably could compel him to print "a directory of goods
and services that might be of interest to the gay and lesbian community."
It probably could not compel him to print "material that conveyed a
message proselytizing and promoting the gay and lesbian lifestyle."
A future Canadian court may define the line between these two -- or
obliterate it.
Another ruling issued in Ontario last June was not ambiguous. Superior
Court Justice Robert MacKinnon ordered Monsignor John Pereyma High School
to allow 17-year-old Marc Hall, an avowed gay, to attend the senior prom
with his 21-year-old boyfriend. The board governing the school argued
that allowing a gay couple to attend to the prom would contravene
Catholic teaching about homosexual behavior and send the wrong message to
Catholic students. The judge swept aside these arguments, and forced a
Catholic school to act against its understanding of Catholic teaching.
That's what Henry VIII tried to do to Thomas More.
Do these Canadian controversies foreshadow American controversies?
Three years ago, Justices Anthony Kennedy and Sandra Day O'Connor joined
the conservatives on the Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision holding the
government could not force the Boy Scouts to retain an avowedly
homosexual scoutmaster because the Scouts organization believes
"homosexual conduct is inconsistent with the values it seeks to instill."
Last month, Kennedy and O'Connor joined the court's liberals in declaring
a constitutional right to homosexual sodomy.
If Kennedy or O'Connor change their minds about the Boy Scouts of
America, or if another liberal is confirmed to the court, the Scouts
might as well move to Canada.
