WASHINGTON, D.C., July 18, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Quoting a recent
study, Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays (PFOX) is warning of the
increased risk of suicide that is linked with young people who
identify themselves as homosexuals before achieving full maturity - a
process encouraged by many homosexual high school clubs.

Well that doesn't make any bloody sense.  Since when does having a support group around you increase a risk of suicide?! ???

I think they're mixing up cause and effect there.  It's like saying Weight Watchers makes people fat - after all, it's statistically true that people who are members of Weight Watchers are typically overweight.

"The head of an ex-"gay" group says members of Congress who are seeking to extend special protections to transgender employees are endorsing behavior that is dangerous to the very people they want to protect"

"Regina Griggs .. (PFOX) .. does not think transgenders are the target of discrimination"

"By and large, people feel sorry for them. These people have gender identity disorder; it's a mental disorder"

"I think it's despicable that we are having people who are openly homosexual take [the side of] the transgender issue"

"The PFOX leader says there is nothing compassionate about putting the lives of gender-confused people in danger by promoting sex-change surgeries and hormones"

"A bill before the .. Maryland Council puts girls and women at risk by opening women's restrooms and locker rooms to men who dress as women, warns .. (PFOX) .."

.. Pedophiles could also put on a dress and assert they are exclusively female in order to get near naked children in swimming pool locker rooms"

I wonder why they don't tell heterosexual kids to wait until they are adult before making a "decision" about their sexual orientation?

It's typical homophobic half truth and innuendo.  The more people like this open their mouth, the more people will recognize it. methinks.  Especially if people like us can publicly refute their nonsense.

I mean, c'mon, you don't have to think that hard to see the flaws in their statements!
