Lewis Black goes to town on the “liberal media” paranoia that pervades the right-wing and leads them to do things like counter the “biased” Wikipedia with Conservapedia — which has a quite unique definition of homosexuality.



Homosexuality is an immoral sexual lifestyle between members of the same sex. It is more than simply a sexual act, it is going beyond the boundaries that God has setup for marriage; one man and one woman.

Sexual relations between the same sex is condemned in both Old and New Testaments. It is forbidden directly four times in the Bible.

Leviticus 18:22 - You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.
Leviticus 20:13 - If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.
1 Corinthians 6:9 - Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,
Romans 1:26-27 - For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

Homosexuality and Mental Health
Freud developed the theory that the future homosexual child is so overattached to his mother that he identifies with her and narcissistically seeks love objects like himself so he can love them like his mother loved him. If a "negative" or "inverted" Oedipus complex occurs, a boy seeks his father's love and masculine identification by taking on a feminine identification and reverting to anal eroticism ... homosexuality could result from reaction formation: sadistic jealousy of brothers and father is safely converted into love of other men. <3>

Studies have long indicated that homosexuals have a substantially greater risk of suffering from a psychiatric problems (suicide, depression, bulimia, antisocial personality disorder, and substance abuse).<14>

For example, a national survey of female homosexuals was published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology which found that 75 percent of the approximate 2,000 respondents had pursued psychological counseling of some type, many for treatment of long-term depression or sadness.<15>

In contrast to claims by gay rights activists blaming this heightened incidence of mental issues on discrimination, John R. Diggs, M.D. states the following:

“ An extensive study in the Netherlands undermines the assumption that homophobia is the cause of increased psychiatric illness among gays and lesbians. The Dutch have been considerably more accepting of same-sex relationships than other Western countries — in fact, same-sex couples now have the legal right to marry in the Netherlands. So a high rate of psychiatric disease associated with homosexual behavior in the Netherlands means that the psychiatric disease cannot so easily be attributed to social rejection and homophobia.<16>

1. I saw this on the DS

2. Imagine

homosexuals being sad and depressed living in a country of ignorant, hateful trash who attempt to use the constitution to bludgeon them. Certainly no justification for sadness there. An "immoral sexual lifestyle." Preachers fucking their daughters is okay?

Yes exactly what we need, leviticus incorporated into our constitution.

"Studies have long indicated???" Yes, those studies that the heritage foundation whips up anytime some jerkoff needs to justify his/her hate.

3. Or perhaps the stigma of seeking mental health help doesn't exist

in the Netherlands and the percentage of homosexuals seeking help is no different that in the general population...

4. this jump is serioulsly flawed.... because more homosexual people's

have seeked counciling, their homosexuality is a mental illness... that doesn't make sense. I would say that more women are depressed because they are unsure of feelings and are unhappy and unsatisfied with a male partner. Society and families put a pressure on a person to be heterosexual.

This article is so stupid, it shouldn't even be published.

5. Leviticus was latent and overcompensating
