Turning Homosexuality into a Human Right

By Stefano Gennarini, J.D. | February 4, 2013

The agressive homosexual lobby is not interested in merely securing tolerance and preventing violence against homosexuals and others who identify themselves on the basis of their non-orthodox sexual preferences. They are interested in purging the universe of what they call “heterosexism.”

At an event held at the Church Center for the United Nations in New York last week, across the street from the General Assembly Hall, this kind of agressive activism was on display fo the select few who attended a panel discussion on reparative therapy. Those in attendance, roughly fifty people in the eight floor room, were treated to three hours of propaganda from leading same-sex peddlers from academia, the medical profession, and national and international legal organizations.

Despite acknowledging that 17% of homosexuals who attend this kind of therapy achieve some degree of success, panelists presented it as fundamentally a moral problem – homosexuality must be embraced, period.

Panelists made more or less deft presentations on how homosexuals are being cheated into thinking that reparative therapy is an option at their disposal, and how young children and teenagers are being forced to this kind of therapy by intolerant parents and religious leaders. Toiko Kleppe , senior counsel on LGBT issues with the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights was happy to re-peat the oft repeated mantra that there is nothing new about homosexual rights in international law, even though there is no such thing. She even went close to speaking about reparative therapy as a human rights violation.

To the credit of the organizers they did read a letter from a man who is now happily married and has a child who wrote of how grateful he was that reparative therapy was available to him. But the clamoring for same-sex moral hegemony made his voice sound like a faint echo in the conscience of the audience, and nothing more.

While repeating multiple times, that the origins of same-sex attraction are obscure, and there really is no knowing how it happens, they also observed, that the same applies to sexual attraction between men and women… The first proposition sounds about right, I am not so sure about the second one.
