Truth Ignored

“And, although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.” Romans 1:32

Adding to the strength of Hansen’s conclusion from yesterday’s blog, is the criteria for which she conducted her research. Hansen explains that she “conducted a review of all the studies I could locate which assessed sexual preference in homosexually parented children.”

He two main criteria for studies to include in her review were:
1) The authors of the study had to be pro-homosexual researchers, “Why?” Otherwise, she “was concerned that critics would simple disregard the results.”

2) She “only sought studies that utilized subjects 18 years of age or older, since many individuals don’t self-identify as non-heterosexual until after that age.”

Unfortunately, she said, “few students met the minimum 18 years of age criteria. “So, in order to maximize the number of studies in my survey, I included studies with subjects as young as 14. Because of the inclusion of studies with such young subjects, the reported percentages of non-heterosexual children may be under-estimates.”

Hansen also found that pro-homosexual researchers that did discover “sexual preference differences between homosexuality and heterosexuality parented children, nonetheless declared in their research summaries that no differences were found.”

I find it unconscionable that a researcher would skew his or her findings in order to promote a sociopolitical agenda, especially when that research would affect the lives and futures of children. However, according to Hansen’s findings, that is exactly what has occurred.

Sadly, too many in the world of politics and media accept without question the false findings of pro-homosexuality researchers. As a result, some states allow homosexual couples to not only provide foster care but to also adopt children. In each and every case, the lives of children are being adversely affected.

“Findings from the best and most recent twin studies have found that homosexuality , unlike eye color, is not genetically - caused,” Hansen writes. “But there are a number of non-genetic mechanisms through which homosexuality could be transmitted form one generation to the next. Those mechanisms include role-modeling, social learning and differential reinforcement, as well as outright encouragement of non-heterosexuality by parents or others.”

Hansen’s research has only confirmed what is readily accepted as common sense in other areas of life. Studies indicate that children reared by parents that imbibe alcohol, smoke cigarettes and abuse their spouse are likely to follow their parent’s examples.

By ignoring Hansen’s findings the media is being derelict in its duty.

Lawmakers, citizens, judges and policy makers all need to be aware that when they vote in favor of homosexual parenting they are skewing the odds that children will choose an unnatural and unhealthy lifestyle.
