The primary goal of the homosexual lobby is to change society's rejection of homosexual activity and lifestyle into gradual, even if reluctant, acceptance.

In 1973 homosexual activists succeeded in pressuring the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to remove homosexuality from their official list of mental disorders. This change, according to Dr. Jeffery B. Satinover, Director of the Durckheim - Gladstone International Center for Quantitative Analysis in Washington, was due to certain bias, false claims, lack of scientific expertise, lack of clinical experience and fabrication of evidence.

Essentially the APA was influenced by the arguments of Evelyn Hooker and Alfred Kinsey. Their presentation to the APA included no reference to studies critical of their evidence. The Kinsey data was fraudulently skewered by blatant population sampling bias. Hooker’s study failed the most basic tenets of the scientific method. She deliberately had her associates recruit participants to obtain a pool of subjects who understood what her ‘experiment’ was about and how it was to be used to achieve a political goal in transforming society. Hooker had no clinical experience in the field or in the scientific method to be employed, had obvious bias, and provided no details about her procedure. The inadequacy of her research was even acknowledged by the journal that published it.

The Laumann Report, published in 1994, is today universally recognized as definitive. In summary, its major findings are that homosexuality is not a stable trait and that it tends spontaneously to convert into heterosexuality as an individual gets older; that sexual identity is not fixed at adolescence but continues to change over the course of life and that there is no evidence for homosexuality being innate. We may now say that young persons who develop a homosexual identity, retain it due to the social milieu. This social milieu is the family setting and culture created by, inter alia, the decisions enforced by the Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States acting in coordination with the misrepresentation of the scientific evidence provided to it by the APA, and the National Association of Social workers.

Also, there are several scientific studies showing that same-sex couples are detrimental to society and especially children.

Only recently, the American College of Pediatricians stated that it is hazardous to children, and dangerously irresponsible to change the age-old prohibition on homosexual parenting, whether by adoption, foster care, or by reproductive manipulation. Referencing several studies it went on to say that children thrive best in families with a married mother and father.

Dr. Michelle Cretella, a board member of the American College of Pediatricians, stated that all studies reflecting the opposite opinion had a methodological flaw in that they compared the wellbeing of children in homosexual households to those raised in difficult circumstances such as single-parent households that resulted from divorce. None of the studies compared children raised by homosexual parents to children with two heterosexual parents in a stable, loving marriage.

Cretella cited a recent meta-study conducted by two pro-homosexual researchers. It found that girls raised in homosexual households are more likely to be more aggressive, boys are likely to be less masculine and that both girls and boys engage in sexual experimentation at earlier ages and are more sexually promiscuous. As a result children reared by gay couples have gender confusion and are put at high risk for sexually transmitted diseases.

Cretella noted that multiple studies have found that homosexually behaving teens and young adults suffer increased rates of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addictions and suicidal thoughts. And in the case of boys who adopt a homosexual lifestyle because of the influence of their same-sex parents, Cretella said, they face a 30% chance of being dead or HIV-positive by the age of 30.

Homosexuals tend to recklessly and unjustly label all those who oppose homosexual activity as “homophobic” - the term "homophobia" itself intended to denote a disorder. In this way they seek to impose their own disordered behaviour and lifestyle on society under the guise of tolerance.

Homosexual activity is a gross perversion that should be peacefully curtailed in Russia and everywhere.
