American Psychological Association Supports Same-sex ‘Marriage’ 157-0
WASHINGTON, D.C.,
The American Psychological Association (APA) has re-affirmed its support for same-sex “marriage” for the eighth consecutive year, this time with a more strongly-worded statement.
The APA has backed “marriage” for homosexual couples since 2004, and marriage-like benefits since 1997, and now calls itself “a strong advocate for full equal rights for LGBT people for nearly 35 years.”
The position paper now asserts that “many gay men and lesbians, like their heterosexual counterparts, desire to form stable, long-lasting and committed intimate relationships and are successful in doing so,” and that campaigns to uphold traditional marriage are “a significant source of stress” to homosexuals.

Just like the "backers" of the false "global warming" hoax...the homosexual movement has BIG $$$$$$$$$$$ behind them, not to mention many of today's "Psychologists" are poofers themselves..
The homosexuals are Not going to accept natural law arguments or arguments from Scriptures...so we need to use their own arguments.

"The APA has backed "marriage" for homosexual couples since 2004...."

Just like the "backers" of the false "global warming" hoax...the homosexual movement has BIG $$$$$$$$$$$ behind them, not to mention many of today's "Psychologists" are poofers themselves..

The homosexuals are Not going to accept natural law arguments or arguments from Scriptures...so we need to use their own arguments.

If accused of homophobia simply say that you were born with it and that you did not choose to be a homophobe and that you find the term itself to be hateful and judgmental. If they bring up the fact that there is no medical evidence of the genetic origin of homophobia, you say that there is just as much evidence of it than for the genetic origin of homosexuality. If they say that twins aren't always both homophobes, you remind them the same is true in the case of twins and homosexuality.

In the book, Same Sex Attraction: A Parent's Guide, edited by Father John Harvey and Gerald V. Bradley, Father Harvey agrees with researchers who see faulty family relationships as the source of same-sex attraction.

Referring to the work of Don Schmierer, Father Harvey writes, "He makes use of case histories to illustrate ways in which adolescent boys and girls can have a confused perception of their gender identity ....The fatherless home or the emotionally unavailable father joined with the dominant mother contributes to the development of same sex attractions. ...Often where divorce has taken place, the mother portrays her ex-husband in very negative ways, and; consequently the son loses respect for the father. ... In merged or foster families, one notices relationships among siblings, cousins, or neighbors that are compulsive and secretive and that can foster same-sex attractions. ..."

Spouses who verbally abuse one another in front of children may inadvertently force the children to "take sides," and, especially if there is already a distance between a child and a father, a son may begin to see his masculinity in a negative light. Marital infidelity is also a contributing factor, especially if it impacts on an adolescent boy or girl.

Other causes of SSAD are sexual abuse and pedophilia, separation from a parent during the critical time of development, or the failure of parents to encourage same-sex identification and friendships.

In an interview with ZENIT News, Fitzgibbons said, "The absence of a father in the home leads to sadness, anger, difficulty in trusting and disruptive disorders. The absence of a mother is worse.

One's mother is one's fundamental basis of feeling safe in relationships; denying a child of its Mother wounds the child's ability to trust and have faith in the world, which can lead to anxiety and attachment disorders."

This is why same-sex marriages and adoption can be so devastating on society, because of their effect on children. Fitzgibbons points out that even in Belgium where same-sex unions are approved, same-sex couples are not permitted to adopt.

"Not all adults have the inherent right to have a child," he said, "but all children have a right to a Mother and a Father."
