Homosexuality: The Untold Story (6 parts)

1. The phantom gene:
Beginning here, The Catholic Standard & Times will publish a six-part series that will focus exclusively on the untold side of this issue. We will explore what is known to the medical, social, scientific and religious communities about homosexuality, giving our readers and their loved ones an opportunity to make an intelligent and fully informed choice about their lifestyle.


2. Known causes of same-sex attraction:
If genes are not the cause of same-sex attraction in some people, what is?


3. Health risks of the homosexual lifestyle:
"As a nurse, I watched 100 of my friends and acquaintances die of AIDS and AIDS related illnesses. After that, I stopped counting."


4. Treatment and Prevention:
The theory that homosexuality is irreversible has become so politicized that almost no one heard the news story that broke in October, 2003.


5. Gay Marriage: Who’s Minding the Children?
The whole issue of gay marriage can be summed up in one word — children.


6. In the Image of God: Church Teaching on Human Sexuality:
Throughout this series, we have attempted to show how Church teaching and medical science agree on many aspects of the issue of homosexuality. But in order to fully grasp Church teaching on this subject, we must go much further than the few catechetical quotes cited in this series. In order to fully grasp what the Church teaches about homosexuality, we must first come to understand what she teaches about human sexuality in general.

National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality:

There are a lot of excellent resources on this web site about how to interact with loved ones who struggle with same-sex attraction, and on the hope that the disorder may be healed.
