Scholars who
smashed 'born that way' hoax to be 'punished', Experts fear for authors behind landmark study, 8/23/16, WND
It’s an analysis rooted
in science, but it’s likely to create a political firestorm. And the first
shots have already been fired.
Liberals are already
criticizing a landmark study on gender and sexuality. Authors Lawrence S. Mayer
and Paul McHugh of Johns Hopkins University found
no evidence for the “born that way” theory and warned against putting children through a “transgender”
transformation.
In response, Samantha
Allen at the left-wing site the Daily Beast sneered at McHugh’s involvement in
the study in a piece titled, “The
right’s favorite anti-LGBT doctor strikes again.”
She bemoans the
“predictable far-right lovefest” and questions McHugh’s expertise. “The
Washington Examiner and other conservative media outlets would have you believe
that McHugh’s statements on LGBT issues are significant because he is a
‘prominent psychiatrist,'” she smirks, using scare quotes.
McHugh is a professor of
psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of
Medicine and was for 25 years the psychiatrist-in-chief at the Johns Hopkins
Hospital.
Experts warn such
criticism is likely only the beginning.
“The researchers who
have dared to publish this study have tremendous courage,” professor Paul
Kengor told WND.
“They have basically
committed professional suicide. The forces of ‘tolerance’ and ‘diversity’ among
the LGBTQ brigades will now harass and demonize these researchers with the
vitriolic sexual-gender McCarthyism they have mastered. They destroy any
critics and dissenters. The researchers have committed heresy in the church of
secular progressivism. They will now be punished.”
Kengor, the author of “Takedown:
From Communists to Progressives, How the Left Has Sabotaged Family and
Marriage,” said the study
challenges the homosexual lobby’s entire agenda. Therefore, he argues, the
counterattack will be vitriolic and swift.
“If this research is
indeed accurate, then its implications would be profound,” he told WND. “The
nature re-definers and fundamental transformers on the progressive left badly
want to reinvent everything from marriage and sexuality to gender and unborn
life. Any data by any serious researcher that stands in the way of their grand
project will be treated with great hatred.”
Carl Gallups, a pastor,
talk-show host and author of “Be
Thou Prepared: Equipping The Church for Persecution and Times of Trouble,” said the study is a victory for
“reality.” He stresses he has no problem respectfully relating to people who
identify as homosexual or transgendered.
However, he does have a
problem with being told such behavior is normal. And he says the persecution of
dissenters is likely to increase, regardless of the facts.
“The problem I do have is with the politically
correct insanity that insists the rest of us call ‘normal’ what clearly has
never been the ‘norm’ at any time in history, nor in any culture,” he told WND.
“I, along with millions of other Americans, also have a problem with the
radical homosexual agenda insisting that our culture actually celebrate the
anomaly. And that same radical agenda continually lobbies to pass laws, and
issue edicts, mandating the acceptance of it – regardless of one’s cultural and
faith-based beliefs – under penalty of criminal and civil law.
“Now, once again, in
this latest study, the world is faced with reality. Real scientists, medical
doctors, and psychological professionals have yet again concluded, and
published for peer-review, that homosexuality and transgenderism are absolutely
not connected to genetic markers. Once again the hard science, and the obvious
historical facts, are staring us in the face. If the gay lifestyle is not a
matter of genetic predisposition, then, logically it would have to be
predominately a matter of choice – or a learned behavior.”
Gallups said although he
is a man of faith, he believes it is the homosexual lobby that bases its
actions on feelings and wishful thinking rather than objective reality.
“I am certain the
radical agenda’s outrage will be imminent,” he warned. “And, more than likely
that indignation will be based upon appeals to feelings, ‘fairness,’ what
‘should be,’ and what is now the ‘new norm’ – rather than to the observable, demonstrated,
repeatable, and falsifiable scientific truth. Predictably, they will attack the
messenger, rather than dealing with the facts of the message.”
Gallups does not fear
only for researchers Mayer and McHugh. He believes Christians as a whole are being
targeted, a theme of his book, “Be
Thou Prepared.”
“I think it is no small
coincidence that the vast majority of today’s radical homosexual movement
actively engages in attacking and contorting the truths of God’s Word regarding
this matter,” the pastor told WND. “For it is in this Word that we discover our
Creator’s true plan for marriage, home, family and the sexual identification of
human beings.
Homosexuality and
transgenderism are never celebrated, in any fashion, in the Word of God.
Indeed, they are soundly condemned as an atrocity of God’s truth regarding the
foundation of humanity and civilization itself. Yet, the opportunity for God’s
love, healing and forgiveness is also held out from the hand of our Creator.
“This issue is truly
something spiritual, emotional and psychological … rather than something
mandated by DNA. The sooner our nation can come to terms with this fact, the
sooner we can reach a balance of decency and sanity. If we continue down the
path of ignoring the facts that right in front of our face, the quicker our
national demise will be.”
Michael Brown, a WND columnist and talk-show host, has written a number of
books on the topic of homosexuality, including the recent “Outlasting
the Gay Revolution.” As a longtime observer
of how the homosexual lobby operates, he says what will happen to the
researchers of this study is predictable.
“How will gay activists
respond?” he asked rhetorically. “They will shoot the messengers. Watch and
see. We’ve seen the pattern for years.”
Brown said the
homosexual lobby uses personal attacks to discredit any individual or group
that disagrees with their agenda or presents evidence
that contradicts their claims. Once the ad hominem attacks take effect
after circulation by the media, the homosexual lobby can safely dismiss
critics, calling them “discredited” even when they are nothing of the sort.
Brown specifically
identified the far left Southern
Poverty Law Center as a key part of the
process. The supposed civil rights organization has labeled a number of
well-respected, pro-family groups as “hate groups” for opposing homosexual
marriage, including the Family Research Council and the American Family
Association. In 2012, the Family Research Council was attacked by Floyd Lee
Corkins, who said he picked the FRC as a target because
it was listed as an “anti-gay” group by the SPLC.
Brown defended the
credentials of authors Mayer and McHugh and dismissed claims they were
politically motivated right-wingers. Instead, Brown claimed these “formidable
scholars” are the ones being targeted by politically motivated activists.
However, Brown said
ultimately “the truth will triumph.”
“In ‘Outlasting
The Gay Revolution,’ I say we need to keep
propagating the truth until the lies are dispelled,” Brown told WND. “We need
to follow the truth wherever it leads. Those who want to know the truth need to
study this report. And those choosing to shoot the messengers will only hurt
themselves in the end.”

LGBT is a “subculture” formed
from a behavioral anomaly that has been around for centuries. It has become a political movement that
infringes on others’ rights to not be exposed to it. When laws inhibit free speech and free
association, all of our rights are threatened.
Anti-discrimination laws have caused more harm than good and should be
reexamined. I would repeal them, declare
a victory and propose that we need to return to being a ‘Meritocracy’.
The issue of religion is
being challenged by those who would replace religion and the family with environmentalism
and the state. Gays have churches and so
do polygamists, whose “religious practice” of polygamy is a crime. We now have a Muslim invasion with more “religious
practices” including honor killing that are also a crime. The question voters will need to answer is
whether or not the US will continue to be a Judeo-Christian nation and retain
its laws and world-view intact, or allow it to be destroyed.
