Out Of The Closet: Why I Decided To Treat Homosexuals Who Want To Change Their
Orientation
Paul Popper, Ph.D.
- Dr. Popper shares how he became involved quietly in treating male homosexuals
who wanted to leave the lifestyle because he saw the pain of these men and
because he thought he could help. He wanted to continue quietly because it
was safer, easier and there was less accountability. However, during the last
few years as he became aware that the professional organizations of psychotherapists
which govern the ethical standards of the different disciplines were seriously
considering ruling that it was unethical to treat homosexuals who wanted to
change their orientation, his timidity and fear was overcome by indignation.

Complex Interaction Of Genes And Environment: A Model For Homosexuality
Jeffrey Satinover, M.D.
- There is essentially no dimension of behavior which is not both environmentally
and genetically influenced. Genes and environment interact in extraordinarily
complex ways with each other, as well as among themselves to produce a final
result; the environmental influences are multi-factorial and affect each other;
in human behavior, the pertinent genes are also multiple. Furthermore, there
are very few circumstances where free will plays little or no role in what
we do. These facts are true of homosexuality as of all other dimensions of
human behavior.

and demographic research. In addition, the seminar is intended to help focus
the research and discussion in these areas by identifying consistent patterns,
inconsistencies, and vacuums in the available data as well as highlighting
where research needs remain the most critical.

homosexuals, ego-dystonic homosexuals, and heterosexuals. As predicted by
the hypothesis, results showed significant differences between heterosexual

scales of the PCR-II. Contrary to the hypothesis, a significant difference
was found between the ego-syntonic homosexuals and egodystonic homosexuals
in the father-reject scale.

- Gay "Marriage"?
Anton N. Marco
- In mid-December, 1990, three homosexual couples simultaneously applied for
marriage licenses in the State of Hawaii. Their action was not unprecedented
(gay couples elsewhere have made the same request), but the outcome was. While
all other previous same-sex couples have had to settle for blunt State refusals
of such requests, or in gay-friendly cities like San Francisco, for so-called
"domestic partnership" registration, the Hawaii Six have been able to leap
several legal hurdles. They may, after an autumn 1996 trial, become the first
same-sex couples in the United States to be joined in legal civil marriage.

- Gender Identity
Disorder
Dr. George Rekers, Ph.D.
- The past three decades have witnessed a well-publicized trend for certain
vocal elements in education and the media in American culture to sharply question
the legitimacy of many, if not all, sex role distinctions in the socialization
of children. Paradoxically, during these same recent decades, two developments
emerged in the mental health and behavioral science disciplines. First, a
mass of research data accumulated which led to a recognition of the often
detrimental effects of father absence on several critical aspects of child
development, including normal sex role development and sexual adjustment.
Secondly, clinical and research data accumulated to a sufficient degree to
enable the mental health professions to officially identify a newly recognized
form of psycopathology-"Gender Identity Disorder of Childhood".

When gender narcissism is present to a high degree, it has a disturbing effect

- The pink triangle, symbol of the "gay rights" movement, is familiar to many

concentration camps, the pink triangle perfectly expresses the message of
"gay rights." That message is that homosexuals are currently and historically
victims of irrational prejudice and that those who oppose homosexuality are
hateful bigots. While many homosexuals were persecuted by the Nazi party,
there is no doubt that the Nazi party itself had many homosexuals within its
own ranks, even among its highest leadership.

and the Truth
First Things, March 1997

examines several books that offer a sampling of the better scholarship on
the subject.

Questions and Answers
Sue Bohlin
- The information in this essay attempts to give a compassionate understanding

- How America
Went Gay
Dr. Charles Socarides, M.D.
- In much of academe and in many secondary school classrooms gays are said
to lead a new vanguard, the wave of the future in a world that will be more
demographically secure when it has fewer "breeders" (which is what some gay
activists call heterosexuals these days). How did this change come about?
Well, the revolution did not just happen. It has been orchestrated by a small
band of very bright men and women-most of them gays and lesbians-in a cultural
campaign.

Might Homosexuality Develop? Putting the Pieces Together

safe to say that fulfilling these two principles takes up considerable time
and effort to achieve, in order to measure up to the Biblical standards.

Dr. Judith Reisman, Ph.D.
- Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey's contention that Americans are 10% to 47%, more or

"civil rights" movement, urging that homosexuality be seen no longer as an
act of sodomy but as a 10% minority class. Dr. Reisman asks and examines,
"But what if all of Kinsey's work was fraudulent, or worse? What if it reflects
unethical scientists conducting unprosecuted criminal acts?"

Solicitation Language As A Reflection Of Male Sexual Orientation
Judith A. Reisman
- There is sharp national dispute over similarities and differences on what
is common heterosexual and homosexual conduct. Kirk and Madsen (1989) write
that the "sex and love lives of gays and straights today are both similar
and conventional," and similarly, Thompson (1994) writes that "gay men lead
daily lives that are basically similar to those of heterosexual men." In contrast,
says Danneymeyer, "so many homosexuals are extremely promiscuous" (1989) that
society must be protected from what Altman (1982) views positively as "The
Homosexualization of America." The data reported here, which are readily available
in public magazines, throw light on this issue as it relates to one important
type of sexual conduct, namely, solicitation.

- Revolution
and Revelations
Leadership University Special Focus
- It's been three decades since the Sexual Revolution was launched. Has it
produced a sexually enlightened America? Although tragic celebrity sex scandals
regularly grab our attention, we seldom consider the possible effects of our
own sexual practices. Did not the liberation of attitudes toward premarital
sex, pornography and homosexuality promise to give us a better understanding
of ourselves as sexual beings? The staggering rates of divorce, abortion,
STD's and illegitimacy might suggest we take a second look at our new paradise.
We have put together a special focus on this topic.

Sex and the Facts
Raymond G. Bohlin, Ph.D.

- Safe
Sex?
Rusty Wright
- What is "safe sex"? Many feel a condom is "safe", but the condom is not
a 100% guarantee of safety against AIDS for the same reason the condom is
not a 100% guarantee of safety against pregnancy. There's always the possibility
of human or mechanical error. Condoms can slip and break. They also can leak.
Even the experts aren't certain condoms can guarantee against sexual transmission
of the HIV virus. The only truly safe sex is the lovemaking that occurs in
a faithful monogamous relationship where both partners are HIV negative.

Reform And The Psychology of The Homosexual Advocacy
Charles W. Socarides, M.D.

of a two-phase sexual radicalization, the second phase being the raising of
homosexuality to the level of alternative lifestyle. This removal of a diagnosis
was a Trojan Horse which, once admitted into the gates of the heterosexual
world, has led to a sexual and social dementia.
