The secular media in Canada have their own agenda. They promote their favourite issues, never worrying too much whether the "facts" presented supporting their arguments are accurate. It is enough for the media that the "facts" are persuasive and that the frequent re-telling of them results in their becoming unimpeachable information. Goebbels would be proud. It is in the contentious issues of homosexuality that this strategy is most apparent.
1. Incidence of Homosexuality in the Population
The claim that 10% of the population is homosexual has been central to the homosexual activists' effort to legitimize their lifestyle. This 10% figure is unblushingly and routinely repeated by the secular media. The latter should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves for doing so. According to the 2003 Canadian census, the incidence of homosexuality amounted to a modest, approximate 1% of the population. This low statistic in Canada is similar to other statistics around the world indicating that 1 - 3% only are homosexual.
The mythical 10% figure was derived from the 1948 and 1953 Kinsey Reports. Dr. Kinsey was an Indiana University zoologist who openly espoused unconventional, unorthodox and even illegal sexual behaviour, including sex between adults and children and between humans and animals. His "research" has been entirely discredited - but the myth he created lives on, thanks, mainly, to the media.
2. The Link Between Homosexuality and Pedophilia
Homosexual activists loudly proclaim that there is far more pedophilia among heterosexuals than among homosexuals. This is not true. Nothing can change the carefully documented studies on this issue that show that the incidence of pedophilia is much more prevalent among homosexuals. Because they cannot refute this clear evidence, homosexual lobbyists attempt to discredit those who raise the high incidence of pedophilia among homosexuals by attacking them as "homophobes" and "gay-bashers". These taunts, however, cannot change the facts, which damage the homosexuals' carefully crafted (and deceitful) public image.
It is well known and logical that pedophiles purposefully seek employment that will bring them into proximity with the greatest number of children possible. The most "promising" jobs of this nature include clergymen working in youth ministry, Boy Scout leaders and school teachers.
This is primarily why homosexual teachers have been involved in more than 80% of all recorded cases of teacher/pupil sex . And it may also explain why homosexuals are trying so hard to force the Boy Scouts of America to accept homosexuals as leaders. For homosexual child molesters, recognition by the Boy Scouts would provide more ready access to children they can abuse, but would also serve as social recognition and approval for their homosexual acts. This cannot be allowed to happen.
3. Homosexuality Can be Changed
One of the more controversial claims by homosexuals is that they cannot change their orientation because they are born that way, ie. that homosexuality is biologically determined. There is little support for this in science.
Dr. Lisa Diamond, whose study was reported in the Monitor on Psychology in 2000, concluded that "sexual identity is far from fixed in women who aren't exclusively heterosexual";
Dr. Kenneth Zucker, in the careful analysis of the innate/immutable argument of homosexuals, concluded that "sexual orientation is more fluid than fixed";
Dr. Warren Throckmorton, has noted that sexual orientation, once thought to be an unchanging trait, is actually quite flexible for some people;
Dr. Robert Spitzer, who was an active supporter of gay activism and played a pivotal role in 1973 in removing homosexuality from the psychiatric manual of mental disorders, now challenges the assumption that homosexual orientation can never be changed.
4. Homosexuals Have Not Taken Advantage of the Legalization of Their Relationships
In their attempt to smash centuries of tradition, which has recognized in law only the relationships between a man and a woman, homosexual activists have strenuously argued that the legal recognition of their partnerships would benefit not only themselves, by stabilizing their relationships, but society as well. It turns out that this argument was pure malarkey. Instead of stabilizing their relationships by legalization, all that has been achieved is to destabilize society by the undermining of traditional marriage in those countries that were unfortunate to have been blindsided by homosexual pressure.
The trend to undermine traditional marriage is evident in the Netherlands, which has allowed homosexual couples to register their partnerships since 1997 and has legalized same-sex marriages since 2000. Statistics there now show that the out-of-wedlock birthrate has increased by an average of 2% a year - more than in any other country in Western Europe. The number of marriages there is also declining faster than in any other country in Western Europe.
Rate of Legalized Homosexual Unions
It appears that few homosexuals have actually availed themselves of the revolutionary right to have their partnerships legalized. This was disclosed in a recent study by a team of Swedish and Norwegian scholars who analyzed data collected in their respective countries. Both these countries enacted laws granting homosexuals the legal right to register their partnerships, which gave them a civil status (1993 in Norway and 1995 in Sweden). Although these countries did not actually grant legal marriage to homosexual partners, the researchers concluded that, in practice, the rights granted homosexuals did not deviate much from the concept of marriage in any substantial way.
The researchers calculated that there was a ratio of around seven same-sex legal registrations to every 1000 opposite-sex marriage in Norway, and a ratio of five new partnerships to every 1000 opposite-sex marriages in Sweden. The researchers also found that not only was the legalization of same-sex unions relatively rare in comparison to heterosexual marriages, but also that their legalized partnerships were remarkably fragile and of short duration. According to this study, the divorce risk for same-sex partnerships of men is 50% higher than the corresponding risk for heterosexual marriages. Such a finding - that homosexual couples have a propensity to quickly break apart - should not be surprising since it has long been established that promiscuity is inherent in homosexual behaviour and that, on average, their relationships even with legalization, last only, on average, 2 to 3½ years . That is, legalizing same-sex relationships has benefited very few couples and a high proportion of them, who legalize their unions, are soon separated.
Significantly, the researchers in the Swedish and Norwegian studies emphasized that their findings went well beyond their two countries, in that:
Many of the demographic characteristics of our Scandinavian couples resemble those found for other populations of same-sex couples, such as same-sex co-residents in the United States.
Incidence of Same-Sex Marriages in Canada
In 2003, the British Columbia and Ontario courts legalized same-sex marriage. There is only data available at this time from British Columbia because Ontario's marriage registration forms do not contain information identifying whether the marriage is same-sex or opposite-sex.
According to a Statistics Canada report, released on January 17, 2007, 775 same-sex marriages took place in British Columbia in 2003, and 55% of the couples who entered into these same-sex marriages were not residents of Canada. This means that there were only 319 same-sex marriages performed in British Columbia in 2003 by Canadian residents. We do not know yet how many of these 319 couples are still together today, but judging from the other studies, their numbers are not likely to be high.
Although there are no records kept on the number of same-sex marriages performed in the entire province of Ontario, the City of Toronto (which is the home of the largest concentration of homosexuals in Canada) has recently released some eye-opening statistics on the number of same-sex marriages performed in Toronto.
2006 - A total of 924 licenses to same-sex couples was issued. Of these, 338 were for American same-sex couples and 479 for other nationalities. There were only 107 licenses issued to Canadian same-sex couples.
2007 - Thus far this year (six months) there were a total of 320 same-sex marriage licenses issued by the City of Toronto. Of these, 118 licenses were issued to American same-sex couples, 201 were issued to those of other nationalities and one license was granted to a Canadian same-sex couple.
It would appear that same-sex marriage has not been for the benefit of Canadian same-sex couples, but rather for foreign same-sex couples to allow them to "marry" here and then use their so-called marriage for the purposes of a legal challenge in their own legal system. So far, foreign same-sex couples married in Canada have brought legal challenges in Israel, Ireland, UK, New York State and New Jersey.
REAL Women was right to have sent out the message to the world citizens apologizing for permitting same-sex marriages here (See Reality, May/June 2007, p. 15).
There is much harm being caused by same-sex marriage, yet the media blindly promote it as a human rights issue - as if.
