A well-socialized heterosexual recognizes his debt to
society and seeks to marry and nurture children as part
of his repayment. He senses himself as part of the on-
going cultural stream and seeks to preserve and
enhance society for the benefit of succeeding
generations. Emerging from history he self-consciously
contributes to its enternality. He lives on in the
generations that follow.
A person committed to homosexual habits is a loose
cog. Aside from personal pleasure, his life is essential-
ly pointless. The best he can do is stay out of the way
and refrain from damaging the social machine; at worst
he might foul its running and destroy it. He has no
creative part in history - - the end of his life will merely
remove a bit of disorganization from the social genera-
tor. Lived to their fullest, both lives serve as examples:
the heterosexual as a beacon toward which to steer and
the homosexual as warning of a whirlpool.
The Reverse Socialization of Homosexuality
Becoming a homosexual involves a tremendous
amount of reverse socialization. While just about
everyone in our society is taught to avoid fecal
contamination, gays eventually learn to immerse them-
selves in it. Examine the results of the Kinsey study
done in the 1940's and early 50's, the Kinsey effort 2 in
San Francisco in 1970, and the Institute for the Scienti-
fic Investigation of Sexuality3 study performed in 1983
(Table 1). Obviously few children would be charmed
by an adult who promised 'come with me and I will
teach you how to lick my anus' - - homosexuality begins
in a less disgusting manner. On average (median), gays
report having their genitals manipulated by another
male at age 13. It takes about two more years before the
first oral/genital contact; another two years before the
anus is used for sex rather than biological relief; and yet
another year or two before it is licked or sucked for
'sexual fun' (lesbians lag about 3 to 5 years behind in
most of this biological insanity). By age 21 most gays
'have come a long way'. They have learned to enjoy
activities that would have sickened them as children.
Some go on to even 'bigger things' like sadomasochism,
fisting (arms and/or legs inserted into the anus of
'lovers'), or eating scat - - but once they have arrived at
the stage where they can consume feces there are no
limits. They become exemplars of the adage 'you are
what you eat'. Genital stimulation becomes paramount:
homosexuals masturbate about twice as. much as
heterosexuals 123 and are prodigious consumers of por-
nography 3, sexual 'toys', and, always, other bodies.
Every public restroom is an opportunity, every park a
possibility. Life becomes tilted toward the hunt.Table 1

Dr. Bergler personally analyzed over a thousand
gays. His considered opinion 6 is that the personality
structure of homosexuals exhibits the following
traits:
* masochistic provocation and injustice-
collecting,
* defensive malice,
* flippancy covering depression and guilt,
* hypernarcissism and hypersuperciliousness,
* refusal to acknowledge accepted standards
in non-sexual matters, on the assumption that
the right to cut moral corners is due homo-
sexuals as compensation for their "suf-
fering", and
* general unreliability, also of a more or
less psychopathic nature.
Dr. Bieber 12, who performed one of the most inten-
sive studies on homosexuals' personalities, charac-
terized gays as 'angry, bitter people with low
feelings of responsibility'. Somerset Maugham
(himself a homosexual) remarked that homosexuals
possessed "...a narrower outlook on the world...a lack
of deep seriousness...inane flippancy...and cynicism."
Reversal of appropriate socialization contributes to
'the spoiled child syndrome'. Anti-social attitudes and
behaviors flourish. Individually gays are oppositional,
collectively they form a whine-machine. Others must
be blamed for their condition and failures - - society
must pay.
As with other spoiled children, gay demands are
insatiable. Professional victims to the core, the more
they get the more they want. Consider Table 2. In the
1940's, when homosexual activity was illegal
everywhere in the U.S., homosexuals were
promiscuous, but somewhat restrained. By 1970 in
rapidly becoming 'liberal' San Francisco the rate of
slam/bam sex had increased dramatically for both gays
and lesbians. And that was over a decade ago, before
the rash of media glorifications of homosexuality and
'gay rights' legislation.
Gays Want To Lower Society To Their Level
Psychologically, homosexuals are driven to lower
society to their level. Like alcoholics, homosexuals
know that they do wrong and that with effort they
could quit (61% of the gays in 1 agreed that they 'could
be changed to exclusive heterosexuality', 58% that
"people who are homosexual can be changed to
heterosexuality if only they want to be"). To preserve
any semblance of self-respect, homosexuals either haveto convince others that what they do is right (hence 'gay
pride' weeks and the like) or that they are not respon-
sible for their perversity ('I was born that way'). All
societies promote a sexual ideal which few attain but
for which most strive. Homosexuals are too debased to
permit society to promote sexual standards higher than
most achieve - - they must mock and caricature any-
thing noble and good. Gays advocate elimination of
such standards. "Let it all hang out" they cry, "don't
be phony". If all sex can be made tawdry, then gay
sex is no worse; if all use the anus for sexual pleasure
then homosexual sex is ok. Where parents wish to
shield children from the worst and to gradually
introduce them to their sexuality, gay activists
want even the youngest to be as sexually driven as
they. Gays revel in scandal and the warping of
social convention. In the guise of 'realism', homo-
sexuals promote a society with only one standard
- that of the lowest common denominator -
themselves. The reason gays dress like clowns and
act so silly in their demonstrations? - - their reality
is too awful to display.
Gays Are Cheats
Those for whom the most intimate human relation-
ship is trivialized by impersonality have little commit-
ment to other social obligations. Like all the spoilt,
homosexuals are natural cheats. They don't call
normals "straights" for nothing. About 60% of the
homosexuals interviewed by Kinsey' said that they
would not want a monogamous relationship. Just as
well, for their longest 'marriages' average 2 or 3
years 23 (and knowing how meaningless such commit-
ments are, most gays have begun cheating half way
through the relationship 3). 30% of gays vs 7% of male
exclusive heterosexuals admit to having committed a
sex crime for which they had not been caught (for
lesbians it was 13% vs. 0.6% of normal women) 3.
Similarly, homosexuals more frequently admit to
shoplifting 3, illegal substance abuse 73, and generally
are more frequently associated with criminality"234 (in
the original Kinsey investigation 10, the general male
prison population was over 4 times more apt to have
extensive homosexual experience than the control
group). From betraying one's country 5, to receiving
less than honorable discharges 11, or exploiting social
position for sexual advantage (gays were over 4 times
more apt to engage in sexual harassment toward
subordinates in 3), homosexuals are disproportionately
implicated. To help justify their destruction of good
social order, homosexuals collect 'injustices' 6. To hear
them tell it, the reason they cheat is because they werecheated. Because of lack of dependents, homosexuals
have more disposable income. So when it comes tax-
time what do they do? Cheat more frequently, of
course: 26% of gays and 12% of lesbians admitted to
cheating on their income tax vs. 15% and 8% of
heterosexuals 3 ! !
Yet in their heart-of-hearts, gays know how
personally and socially worthless their homosexual
habits render them. In candid moments they've
admitted as much. When asked 'if a teenager who was
just starting homosexual activity came to you and asked
your advice, what would you tell them?' gays recom-
mended cessation over continuation 4 to 1 1. About
half of gays claim to regret their homosexual habits 19
and half would 'become upset if their child became
homosexual' 9. About a quarter of homosexuals believe
homosexuality is an emotional disorder9 and in 1137% of
the gays answered 'yes' to "do you think you are
psychologically disturbed?".
The Gay Life Is A Sad Life
Averaging about half the number of genuine
intimates as most folk 7, gays are less tied to life. Not
only are they more apt to treat others' lives casually
(with about two-thirds of sexual mass murder victims
dying at gay hands 8), but their own is grasped less
firmly. Homosexuals much more frequently
contemplate suicide (in 3 27% of male heterosexuals vs.
46% of gays and 34% of female normals vs. 56% of
lesbians reported contemplating suicide at least once).
As would be expected, homosexuals much more
frequently attempt suicide 9 4 7 (in 3 5% of normal males
vs. 19% of gays and 10% of heterosexual females vs. 21%
of lesbians reported at least one suicide attempt).
Gays Need Help To Quit,
Not Encouragement To Continue
People with an alcohol problem do not need more
ready availability of drink, they need to learn to run
dry. Homosexuals, like alcoholics, are their own worst
enemies. With encouragement both groups of un-
fortunates will do even more terrible things. Look
again at Table 1. Just 40 years ago "fisting" was so rare
that the pro-homosexual Kinsey didn't even think to ask
about it. It first appeared in the Gay Report in 1979 as
something "only" 22% of gays had ever tried, by 1983
the rate of ever having tried it was up to 41%. These are
disturbed people, pushing their bodies to and beyond
the biological limit. Examine Table 2, when given more
freedom by San Francisco the gays pushed toward
