Stomping on Myths

Another media-inspired myth about homosexuality.

Cheryl Crane--a “model” lesbian--wants us to believe that 2 1/2 years of sexual abuse and murdering one of her mother’s suitors due to his abusive treatment of her mother didn’t have anything to do with her sexual preference. Give me a break.

Crane cops to the ludicrous pro-gay tenet that homosexuality is innate and has nothing to do with one’s early environment.

Such a rationale is clearly self-protective. Crane needn’t deal with her tragically acquired ambivalence toward men; mama Lana in turn is relieved of facing the horrific effects of her own sexual brokenness upon Crane.

I sincerely hope Calendar’s readers don’t buy into the same myth about homosexuality’s innate nature. It prevents children and parents alike from facing and getting free from the pain and brokenness that undergirds homosexual development.
