The Top 10 Myths about Homosexuality
Peter Sprigg, after doing extensive background research on homosexuality, published his findings in a pamphlet titled, “The Top Ten Myths About Homosexuality.” The following is a list of these myths promoted by homosexual groups. To read the full background on each myth please click here to download a free copy of Sprigg’s findings.
Here are the top 10 myths:
Myth No. 1: People are born gay.
Fact: The research does not show that anyone is “born gay,” and suggests instead that homosexuality results from a complex mix of developmental factors.
Myth No. 2: Sexual orientation can never change.
Fact: Thousands of men and women have testified to experiencing a change in their sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual. Research confirms that such change does occur—sometimes spontaneously, and sometimes as a result of therapeutic interventions.
Myth No. 3: Efforts to change someone’s sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual are harmful and unethical.
Fact: There is no scientific evidence that change efforts create greater harm than the homosexual lifestyle itself. The real ethical violation is when clients are denied the opportunity to set their own goals
for therapy.
Myth No. 4: Ten percent of the population is gay.
Fact: Less than three percent of American adults identify themselves as homosexual or bisexual.
Myth No. 5: Homosexuals do not experience a higher level of psychological disorders than heterosexuals.
Fact: Homosexuals experience considerably higher levels of mental illness and substance abuse than heterosexuals. A detailed review of the research has shown that “no other group of comparable size in society experiences such intense and widespread pathology.”
Myth No. 6: Homosexual conduct is not harmful to one’s physical health.
Fact: Both because of high-risk behavior patterns, such as sexual promiscuity, and because of the harm to the body from specific sexual acts, homosexuals are at greater risk than heterosexuals for sexually transmitted diseases and other forms of illness and injury.
Myth No. 7: Children raised by homosexuals are no different from children raised by heterosexuals, nor do they suffer harm.
Fact: An overwhelming body of social science research shows that children do best when raised by their own biological mother and father who are committed to one another in a lifelong marriage. Research specifically on children of homosexuals has major methodological problems, but does show specific differences.
Myth No. 8: Homosexuals are no more likely to molest children than heterosexuals.
Fact: The percentage of child sexual abuse cases in which men molest boys is many times higher than the percentage of adult males who are homosexual, and most men who molest boys self-identify as homosexual or bisexual.
Myth No. 9: Homosexuals are seriously disadvantaged by discrimination.
Fact: Research shows that homosexuals actually have significantly higher levels of educational attainment than the general public, while the findings on homosexual incomes are, at worst, mixed.
Myth No. 10: Homosexual relationships are just the same as heterosexual ones, except for the gender of the partners.
Fact: Homosexuals are less likely to enter into a committed relationship, less likely to be sexually faithful to a partner, even if they have one, and are less likely to remain committed for a lifetime, than are heterosexuals. They also experience higher rates of domestic violence than heterosexual married couples.

Peter Sprigg works for the Family Research Council, an SPLC certified anti-gay hate group. So it’s just a hunch that all of this anti-gay propaganda is based on lies and half-truths. Then again, I have a feeling you already know that and don’t care. Have a nice day.
The Southern Poverty Law Center lists people and organizations that it does not politically agree with. Many of the organizations simply tell the truth about social issues like homosexuality.
The research and links to the data are in the link to the full PDF file. The only half-truths or lies are from those pushing the homosexual agenda.
Homosexual activists have adopted the Vladimir Lenin philosophy, “A lie told often enough becomes the truth.”
Sprigg is telling the truth and for homosexuals the truth hurts in a real way.
So what gives the SPLC the right to call any other group a hate group? Are they given some special privilege or knowledge that makes them right? Of course not. The SPLC is fostering hate. Remember the First Amendment allows for freedom of speech. SPLC is working to stifle that fundamental freedom.
This article is all hate and lies. Let’s see this quack’s “Research.”
The list is the truth, not hate. The lies come from homosexual activists and their supporters. The homosexual lifestyle is a dangerous choice.
Maybe the danger lies in the judgement of homosexuals, not the homosexuals themselves. I haven’t met a single homosexual who was harmful to me. And yes I am Heterosexual. I really do hope you learn to be more accepting to people who mean you no harm.
Homosexuals are doing harm. They are behind efforts to limit freedom of speech, labeling those who speak out against them as homophobic. The are anti-Christian, anti-Jew and are influencing our children to believe that sexuality is a choice, not a gift from God.
Homosexuality is wrong biologically, defies science and genetics.
Perhaps you are missing the point that you are being harmed???
