HOMOSEXUALITY is a SIN

Why, why , why are we listening and bowing down to the gay agenda activists?  HOMOSEXUALITY is a behavior sin.  Allowing homosexuality behavior into the military would be the end of our society. Allowing homosexuality into our Congress and Administration is bad enough but the military will be way beyond any rational thinking. Admiral Mullins must be out-of-his-mind in even considering it.  I guess desperate people do desperate things.

Secret Life of Sonia Sotomayor Part I

THE CHICAGO CONNECTION: MUCKRAKER ANDY MARTIN SAYS SOTOMAYOR’S "EX-HUSBAND" IS A CHICAGO ATTORNEY

MARTIN SAYS SOTOMAYOR MAY HAVE ENGAGED IN A "SHAM" MARRIAGE AND OTHER ACTIONS TO CONCEAL HER SEXUAL IDENTITY

IS A VOTE FOR SOTOMAYOR A VOTE TO APPROVE GAY MARRIAGE AT THE U. S. SUPREME COURT?

MARTIN SUGGESTS SOTOMAYOR IS A "DEEPLY-CLOSETED" LESBIAN OR, POSSIBLY, A "COUGAR-STYLE" SEXUAL PREDATOR

SONIA SOTOMAYOR HEADS TOWARDS AN "ADVISE AND CONSENT" MOMENT

(NEW YORK)(June 1, 2009) This is a difficult column for me to write. As a man of the 60’s, my views on sexual morality are definitely liberal. With age has come tolerance. I passionately believe in an expansive personal right to privacy. You can read my blogs and won’t find anything on the gay marriage brouhaha. I have stayed away from the controversy because of close friends on both sides of the divide.

The media and politicians have been focused on Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s judicial decisions. They may be looking in the wrong place for an insight into her character and disposition.

My personal views and reluctance to write about sexual identity have to yield to the political reality that Judge Sonia Sotomayor has been living a carefully orchestrated secret life. Her personal life, particularly the concealed aspects of her life, bear on her fitness for the Supreme Court and reflect an invisible bias that will undoubtedly affect her voting on issues such as gay marriage.

The bestselling novel "Advise and Consent" by Allen Drury was based on the secret sexuality of a U. S. Senator. Ms. Sotomayor could be heading towards a similar "Advise and Consent" moment.

Before getting into the particulars of our investigation we start with the obvious fact that "sexuality" is not a state; sexuality is manifested as a continuum of human behavior and orientation. None of us is either completely heterosexual or completely homosexual. One set of genes and or conditions usually predominate; then there are those whose sexuality is ambiguous because their personal makeup is ambiguous or balanced.

There are three reasons why repressed or suppressed sexuality or closeted social behavior can be critical to a public employee, especially a Supreme Court justice.

First, blackmail. Someone with a secret they want kept secret is someone subject to improper influence. In my own past experience, intelligence agencies have routinely kept homosexual contacts on retainer to use in blackmailing gay diplomats, military officers and the like.

Second, concealment may reflect an unstable personality structure. A person who is so deeply committed to a secret aspect of her personality certainly carries with him or the potential for a disintegrating experience.

Third, a person with a concealed or repressed personality structure may have a secret agenda, an agenda that is not evident on the surface but that is, rather, buried deep below the surface of that individual’s visible identity. Each of the foregoing reasons makes inquiry into the entire spectrum of personality a critical factor in evaluating the fitness of candidates for high national office.

Finally, I would end this preamble with one aspect of my forty years of experience as a lawyer that stands out: people who conceal, usually have something to hide. Correlatively, that which is concealed, should be revealed. I have cross-examined people on the witness stand that broke down in "Perry Mason" moments. These epiphanies do exist.

Sonia Sotomayor is hiding her secret life.

Sotomayor is concealing some deep truths about herself; they deserve to see the light of day before her confirmation hearings begin, not after she is seated on the Supreme Court.

I bear Judge Sotomayor no personal animus. Nevertheless, she owes the United States Senate a full and complete disclosure of all aspects of her personality and personal life. I am glad that the New York Times also seems to agree with me that extra-judicial inquiry is appropriate, see http://www.nytimes.com/2009/
05/27/opinion/27wed1.html ("The Senate will have to carefully scrutinize Judge Sotomayor’s record on and off the bench…")

ContrarianCommentary.com began its investigation with a tip that we should look at her "sham" marriage in 1976. The mainstream media have mentioned her "marriage" but there are great peculiarities about that event.

First, Sotomayor and her husband apparently never lived together despite the fact that Sotomayor was "married" during her entire law school career. They were living in different cities. Second, the "husband" has never commented on his "wife’s" professional accomplishments.

Third, a decade ago Sotomayor conveniently produced a "fiancé," Peter White, when she was under review for the Court of Appeals. As soon as she was confirmed, the "fiancé" prop disappeared. White dropped from view. Once again, we see the recurring example of an apparent puzzle: the repeated use of "props" or "shams" to create a misleading appearance during periods of government evaluation. Particularly when these props disappear soon after the critical event, an appearance of concealment or deception is apparent.

Here our investigation yielded its first surprise: the Chicago connection. Sotomayor’s "ex-husband" is a Chicago attorney.

Fourth, rather surprisingly for a lawyer, since lawyers love to comment on the successes of other lawyers, Sotomayor’s "ex-husband" Kevin E. Noonan has never commented on his "ex-wife’s" appointments. Most lawyers would realize that this total silence is very unusual behavior.

The media, moreover, appear to have steered a wide course away from Mr. Noonan, when his views on the young Sotomayor would be of particular interest to anyone looking into her background.

Even more surprising, the local Chicago media have completely ignored the "Second City" aspect of this great national story. Why?

The Washington Post yesterday also drew a blank on Ms. Sotomayor’s personal identity:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/30/AR2009053002061.html

Rather elliptically, the Washington Post said Sotomayor "does date." Oh really.

Around the Second Circuit, a Court with which I am intimately familiar, Sotomayor’s "dates" draw raised eyebrows. If a male nominee for the Supreme Court were "dating" men young enough to be his children, that man would likely be deemed inappropriate for the high court. I was working on Capitol Hill when some Republicans wanted to impeach Justice William O. Douglas because he married a much younger woman. They felt his behavior embarrassed the Court. http://jurisdynamics.blogspot.com/2008/05/
wives-and-times-of-william-o-douglas.html

Sotomayor’s "boy toys" could be evidence of inability to function in a normal male-female environment or, once again, "beards" designed to conceal her deeply-closeted sexuality.

Whether Sotomayor is deeply-closeted, a factor that may be explained by the fact her legal career began in an era when lesbianism was potentially disqualifying behavior and therefore deeply repressed and suppressed, or whether she is a frustrated "cougar" whose predatory "boy toy" sexuality takes more from a skit on Saturday Night Live than what is expected of a U. S. (Second) Circuit Judge, or a Supreme Court justice, remains to be finally proven.

Either alternative raises serous questions about Sotomayor’s character and personal behavior that need to be fully explored by the United States Senate.

For example, both supporters and opponents of gay marriage have a right to know whether Sotomayor’s secret life reflects a disqualifying bias on that controversial issue.

Our investigation is continuing. We invite responses from persons having knowledge of Sotomayor’s "secret life."

‘Gay’ gene claim suddenly vanishes

Posted: May 12, 2009  9:30 pm Eastern By Bob Unruh © 2009 WorldNetDaily

American Psychological Association revises statement on homosexuality

A publication from the American Psychological Association includes an admission that there is no "gay" gene, according to a doctor who has written about the issue on the website of National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality.

A. Dean Byrd, the past president of NARTH, confirmed that the statement from the American Psychological Association came in a brochure
that updates what the APA has advocated for years.

Specifically, in a brochure that first came out about 1998, the APA stated: "There is considerable recent evidence to suggest that biology, including genetic or inborn hormonal factors, play a significant role in a person’s sexuality."

However, in the update: a brochure now called, "Answers to Your Questions for a Better Understanding of Sexual Orientation & Homosexuality," the APA’s position changed.

The new statement says:

"There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay or lesbian orientation. Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors. Many think that nature and nurture both play complex roles. …"

"Although there is no mention of the research that influenced this new position statement, it is clear that efforts to ‘prove’ that homosexuality is simply a biological fait accompli have failed," Byrd wrote. "The activist researchers themselves have reluctantly reached that conclusion. There is no gay gene. There is no simple biological pathway to homosexuality."

Byrd said the APA’s documents both new and old "have strong activist overtones," but the newer document "is more reflective of science and more consistent with the ethicality of psychological care."

"On the question of whether or not therapy can change sexual orientation, the former document offered a resounding ‘no,’" Byrd wrote. "However, the current document is much more nuanced and contains the following statement: ‘To date, there has been no scientifically adequate research to show that therapy (sometimes called reparative or conversion therapy) is safe or effective.’"

A spokesman for NARTH said the change in statements, although not new, is considered significant for the organization. The APA declined to return a WND call requesting comment.

Byrd questioned whether the APA now plans to study the effectiveness of a variety of therapies for homosexuality.

"Many are entirely without validation, yet practitioners regularly receive Continuing Education credits for teaching these same therapies through APA-approved courses. Perhaps it is time for APA to hold all therapies and all therapists to the standard which they advocate for reorientation therapy," he said.

But he wrote that the changes are substantial, with even a change in the APA’s recommendations for additional information.

"Most intriguing are the recommended resources for further reading. The former brochure referred readers to the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force; to Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, and to Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), all activist groups," Byrd wrote. "The current brochure refers readers to the American Psychological Association, Mental Health America, and the American Academy of Pediatrics."

NARTH documents other evidence of a lack of a "gay" gene, too.

For example, Douglas Abbott, a University of Nebraska professor, concluded, "If homosexuality was caused by genetic mechanisms, their children would be more likely to choose same-sex interaction. But they aren’t more likely, so therefore it can’t be genetic."

NARTH also rebuts some of the advocacy positions taken by homosexual proponents.

"The term ‘homophobia’ is often used inaccurately to describe any person who objects to homosexual behavior on either moral, psychological or medical grounds," NARTH explains. "Technically, however, the terms actually denotes a person who has a phobia – or irrational fear – of homosexuality. Principled disagreement, therefore, cannot be labeled ‘homophobia.’"

WND has reported on those who have left the homosexual lifestyle, and the opposition they face, including when a homosexual advocate attributed the crime of rape to the "sickness" of the ex-"gay" movement.

Among other recent developments in the ongoing argument over the ‘innateness" on homosexuality:

* A New England organization reports members of a transgender lobby promised to shadow grandmothers and others who will be collecting petition signatures on a traditional marriage amendment.

* Actions by members of the homosexual community prompted the American Psychiatric Association to cancel what was to be a discussion of the lifestyle.

* And prominent leaders of the homosexual community have stated that only they benefit from hate crimes laws, laws that enhance a penalty for crimes already covered by other statutes based on the thoughts that accompany the criminal act.

Regina Griggs, the executive director of Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays, said her organization and staff members repeatedly have been attacked simply because of their message: that there are such individuals as former homosexuals.

Some attacks have been physical, such as a 2007 incident at the Arlington County Fair. Police told WND, there was a confrontation between an individual who got upset over the PFOX message about leaving homosexuality and a volunteer at the fair booth.

"One officer told me today he was on patrol at the fair when a woman approached him and told him a man had knocked over pamphlets at the PFOX booth and assaulted another man there. The officer then spoke to the alleged victim. He did not want to press charges and therefore no written report was filed," said a statement issued by John Lisle, media relations officer for the Arlington County police department.

"Based on the description the officer was given, he located the suspect at the fair. Another officer escorted that gentleman off the fair grounds," his statement continued.

The result? Pro-homosexual activists vigorously condemned Griggs for "making up" the story when she alerted supporters about the situation.

"Regina Griggs has lost all credibility and must resign in shame for her dishonest behavior," wrote Wayne Besen, executive director of the homosexual advocacy group Truth Wins
Out. "What PFOX did was warped, twisted and an insult (sic) real hate crime victims."

Those who condemn homosexual behavior also face electronic badgering. When Sally Kern, an Oklahoma lawmaker, vocally rejected the homosexual lifestyle, she was inundated with tens of thousands of e-mails in a coordinated attack on her beliefs. Some of the e-mails threatened her.

Elevating homosexuality to new heights

Jim Brown - OneNewsNow - 3/18/2009 11:00:00 AM

The Obama administration and other proponents of a United Nations statement that calls for the decriminalization of homosexuality claim it merely targets the seven countries that put homosexuals to death. But one pro-family activist warns the document elevates homosexual behavior to skin color and religious belief.

The Obama State Department has endorsed the U.N. statement out of concern over what one official describes as "violence and human rights abuses against gay, lesbian, transsexual and bisexual individuals" as well as "the criminalization of sexual orientation in many countries." In addition, according to U.S. officials, signing of the nonbinding declaration demonstrates that the U.S. supports human rights for all. (See related article)

Austin Ruse, president of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute , says the Obama administration has essentially signed its name to a "press release" initiated by the French government in the U.N. General Assembly last fall. Ruse says he fully expected the Obama administration to sign on to the document immediately because it supports the homosexual agenda.

Austin Ruse (C-FAM)"What the press release really does is encourage the acceptance of gender identity and sexual orientation as a category of non-discrimination in human rights treaties," explains Ruse, "so that these categories would stand alongside race, religion, and other widely accepted categories of non-discrimination."

Ruse says the Bush administration almost signed on to the U.N. homosexual rights document last fall. He notes there is a "very healthy homosexual lobby" in the State Department and in various parts of the U.S. government. In fact, he reports that for a brief moment last week at the United Nations, the Obama administration endorsed a document titled "The International Guidelines on HIV/AIDS," which calls for criminal penalties for those who criticize homosexuality.
