For years we’ve been seeing “test cases” of homosexuals pushing the legal envelope to force their degenerate lifestyle choice on the rest of us. Periodically we read about homosexuals suing small business owners—often Christian small business owners—for not bowing to the homosexuals’ demands, whatever they may be. These test cases are getting more and more outrageous, and now we have one of the most over-the-top examples yet of homosexuality gone wild, and it’s certainly no surprise that it comes out of San Francisco.
Homosexuality gone wild!
The case is of a man who had himself surgically mutilated in the delusional desire to “become a woman,” and who proceeded to sue the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) for not allowing him to compete in their tournaments. He claims that under California law, his “civil rights” are being violated by not being allowed to play with the women. Before the lawsuit is even done, the LPGA, rather than fight this insanity with the voice of reason and truth, has instead chosen to cave in and join the delusion by voting to allow so-called “transgendered” men to join the LPGA. The lawsuit, which was filed in October in San Francisco by a former police officer and SWAT team member who now calls himself Lana Lawless, is still ongoing, but LPGA members voted preemptively to strike from their constitution the requirement that members be female at birth.
That’s not homosexuality gone wild. Transgenderism gone wild!
It’s not just the media that have signed on to this mass delusion, but the courts have also stepped right up to “validate” what could never actually be. You may recall back about a year and a half ago, Sonny Bono and Cher’s daughter Chastity Bono had a so-called “sex change” operation. Afterward, this past May, she proceeded to go to court to legally change her name and her gender. That’s preposterous enough, but the so-called judge didn’t blink an eye in declaring that the woman Chastity Bono is now officially and legally the “man” Chaz Bono. As I said, this world is truly insane, but I for one will not sign on to that insanity.
Chaz Bono gone wild!
This man and ones like him need help, not false validation. There are plenty of resources to rescue people who are trapped in the iron clutches of homosexuality. Exodus International is one resource ministry, and Love Won Out is another. And there are others that are always ready and waiting to offer the love, freedom and the power of Christ to help people escape homosexuality. Of course it’s not easy, but with God on your side, all things are possible, according to His will.
It’s funny because the medical community says otherwise. This is the equivalent of eschewing medical treatment for your child and trying to pray away cancer, then being surprised when the child dies.
Also, again, this is an entire wingnut article about “the homosexual agenda” which is entirely about a transgender person. This is surprising, considering the esteemed bio provided by the writer:
Gina Miller, a native of Texas, is a radio disc jockey. She also works with her husband installing and repairing residential irrigation systems and doing landscaping on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Fail.
Gina: Your attacks against transgender people are not acceptable. You are speaking out of ignorance. The attacks say a lot more about you than about your victims in the attacks. Will you find other bigots to support you in your bigotry? Absolutely. Are you and your kind a disgrace, unenlightened, and hateful? Yes. Nazis demonized homosexuals just the way you do, FYI. You in your “philosophy” are a lot closer to the Nazis than to enlightened modern human beings. Frankly, shame on you for opening your pie hole on a topic about which you know less than nothing. Why are you so full of hate for people who have never done the least thing against you? Do you even know a transgender person personally? Have you ever sat down to coffee with a transgender person? These people are human beings and deserve respect and empathy just as much as anybody else. You are not “superior” to them, and when you characterize them as “defective,” people smarter and kinder than you see that the defect is in you, not them.
Maybe Gina aspires one day to be a golf pro and just doesn’t want to have to face Lana in competition.
Usually when I read postings like this, I get really angry, but for some reason this one just made me laugh. It’s so 1970s sounding, like shag rugs, paneling, and brown and avocado kitchens–barf!
This idiot doesn’t even understand the difference between homosexual and transgender.
I’m going to remember this the next time a gay man says there’s no reason to consider trans-people a part of the gay community. To most of the anti-gay bigots we’re all the same – we are united in that both our freedoms are opposed by the bigots because we break sexual sterotypes.
I find it amusing that you reference the medical community when trying to debunk Gina’s writings. The fact is the “medical community” gave up trying to find a cure for homosexuality long ago. Just because they quit looking doesn’t mean that a cure doesn’t exist.
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) voted to delete homosexuality from its official list of mental disorders and issued a strong statement of support for gay rights. This resulted from the APA’s inability to correctly diagnose and treat homosexuality. The APA determined that, “…most gay persons were satisfied with their sexual orientation and were not impaired in their social functioning”. By their own admission, because gay people were not complaining about being gay and had normal social skills, then they should not continue to investigate the causes of this condition. They gave up any research and started telling people that this behavior was “normal”. This began in 1973. For the last 37 years, the APA and the gay community have been telling you that being homosexual is “normal”.
If the APA is correct in its findings that homosexuality does not impair a person’s social functioning, then why do most pedophiles target same-sex victims? If their social functioning is not impaired, then why must homosexuals insist on lobbying for special rights and privileges under the cover of “gay rights”? Although they call it protection, as Americans they are already protected by the laws that apply to everyone, so why the crusade for a special protected class?
Here’s a suggestion: Instead of walking around accepting the definition of “normal” handed down by the APA, why don’t we take a more open-minded approach and investigate the causes of homosexuality and try to find a cure for this abnormality? Wouldn’t it be much easier for a young homosexual person to have the hope that one day they would not have to struggle to understand feelings which, by normal standards, they should not be having? Instead, the gay community spends it’s time trying to indoctrinate these young, vulnerable, and confused people into a lifestyle that they are trying to sell to us as being “normal”. Here’s a clue by four across your head: It’s not “normal”. This has nothing to do with morals, values, or personal feelings…it is merely stating a scientific fact, one that the APA doesn’t want to admit to because of its own internal failings.
Scott, I’m curious:
Did you consciously intend for your web site to convey faux patriotism, false piety, or self-satisfied egotism?
With your site in mind, I can understand why you don’t need or want the world to accept decades of (well-known and ongoing) research from generally reputable and professional scientists. Given the lack of research cited in your comment, it is apparent that fact-finding is inconsistent with your own handwritten “science” in which trivia are cherry-picked to avoid disturbing your amorality or your political correctness.
Moreover, it’s obvious from your comment and your site that you don’t desire to convey Christian humility or respect for those who are less sinful than you: You clearly enjoy exclusive knowledge and favor from God, despite that silly Bible’s condemnation of your rather evident idolatries and your disdain for basic truths.
You believe that facts are determined by naming your will to be God’s and then claiming it. We believe that facts determined through objective and comprehensive investigation can speak for themselves.
How nice for you.
“Fighting anti-gay lies and the ex-gay myth”
What I see here are some poor souls desperately clinging to the lies that the world has to offer.
It’s really sad to see some of you try to take a pseudo-intellectual approach (like Mike Airhart) to something that could never be (changing one’s gender), and to actually try to stand on a “high horse” against those of us who know better, as if the sad state of the lives of people trapped in that tragic lifestyle choice of homosexuality were not a reality–yes I know you all have a dozen different “categories” of your sexual problems, and that’s not my concern.
Despite all your venom and all your pronouncements, homosexuality is NOT a good thing, and YES you CAN escape its clutches. God can free you.
As I told Scott Rose in the comments section on my article, thank you for featuring my column here on your site. Not only do we at Dakota Voice appreciate the hits this is generating, but you never know how this may backfire on your agenda. If just ONE person reads my words from your site and is led to get free from the homosexual lifestyle, you will have played a wonderful part in someone’s liberation. I hope it happens. May God bless you and free you all.
Our people already know your words are, on their face, the words of an intellectually bereft loon. The way we make you lose credibility is simply by exposing your words to an audience outside the echo chamber of poorly educated wingnuts you usually attract.
This guy (Lana Lawless)is a cheater. There is no getting around that. I think we can all agree on that. He has no reason to want to play on the LPGA except he can’t succeed on one of the men’s tours, or he is trying to show his a*s. This is an attempt to undermine a game that is built on personal honesty. Please tell him to stop it. He can only bring shame upon all of you.
Scott Factor and Gina
Even the President of Exodus, Alan Chambers, says that he would still get aroused around naked men. Can’t you find someone – ANYONE – who has been completely “cured” to run the premier ex-gay-conversion-through-God program?
One more thing…
I see Scott Rose is not coming back on Dakota Voice to respond to any of our comments, and that’s fine, but I wanted to share this reply to Scott which was posted by my friend, who really “nailed” it:
“Gina is not ‘attacking’ anyone, and her truth is quite acceptable, at least anywhere truth is welcome.
Homosexuals, especially those who want to mutilate their own bodies to better suit their delusion, need help, not accommodation.
Why do you hate homosexuals so much that you would rather see them continue to live in a state of mental illness, perhaps even mutilating their own bodies, rather than get the help they need to live the way they were created to live? Is having ignorant, shallow people think well of you more important than the welfare of someone who desperately needs help?
Apparently it is, for you anyway. I would encourage you to stop listening to peer pressure and quit seeking to have people like you, instead adjusting to reality and encouraging others to do so as well.
Overcoming mental and sexual dysfunctions can be difficult enough on their own without people like you encouraging them to revel in their illness. If you truly cared about them, you would not be pretending all is well and would be encouraging them to get help, not encouraging them to remain enslaved to their aberrant behavior inclinations.”
PhillipJ, anyone who has overcome an addiction (as I have) will tell you that after you stop it, there are still moments of “craving.” There’s nothing new about that. When you refuse to indulge those cravings, they grow weaker and more infrequent with time, until you are no longer affected by them.
As with any healing process, there is a tough road to travel, but with God’s help, you can and will make it through.
Why scrub my 2 very pertinent comments? Are you scared of exposing your readers to the TRUTH?
Please disregard that last comment. Browers are a goofy thing when they don’t “refresh” properly.
Gina, God creates intersex children. There are some children born with undifferentiated genitalia. (Either God creates them deliberately, or stands back and lets it happen, or has no control over it – I know the latter two options are frightening as hell to Christians, so I will ignore those). Tell me again how Christian counseling will overcome that.
There are also children who look female (externally) at birth, but who are actually genetic males. (Google AIS – Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome). They have no internal female organs, other than a vagina. Most of them identify as female, but a few identify as male. So, what do the female-identified ones pray to God for? To change their XY chromosomes to XX? To change their external genitalia to match the XY chromosomes? Who should the female-identified ones be “allowed” to marry, males or females? God MUST have created them this way; you cannot argue in any way that these children had any choice in the matter.
I don’t claim to have all the answers, unlike you. That is why I ask these questions. Even I were to become a Christian, that won’t make the reality of intersexed children or AIS people go away….I guess I’m supposed to turn off my brain at that point – the magnificient brain that God gave me, knowing full well how I would use it – and not ask questions or think anymore.
Phillip, I did not, and never would, claim to “have all the answers.”
What you’re describing are deformities–birth defects–like when twin babies’ development “goes awry” in the womb, and one baby is born with parts of the other baby growing inside him. Those birth defects are part of our fallen, sinful world. They’re no different than poor babies being born with other abnormalities like Downs Syndrome.
It does not take away from the fact that human beings are designed to be heterosexual, and although there are powerful spiritual forces that try, and sometimes succeed, in perverting the natural order of things, the natural order still remains.
You still have not answered my questions. If they are indeed “birth defects”, should we not try to “cure” them, like we do cleft-palates? Oh wait, you’re AGAINST sex-change (“sex-correction”?)operations…so once again you have painted yourself into a corner.
Who should a female-identified AIS person be allowed to marry? If her “defect” is not uncovered until after she is married, is this a same-sex marriage? Should they divorce? (Oh wait, you’re against divorce too..another “painted-corner”)Or, in your estimation, should she be allowed to marry at all? What about male-identified AIS people? Would you condemn AIS people to a life without a partner?
And AIS is by far not the only “birth-defect” in the sexual realm…and by the way, King James, of King James Bible fame, led what would today be called a “homosexual lifestyle”. Since I have heard many Christians say that nothing good can ever come from homosexuality, it seems at the very least incongruous to be using a Bible whose translation was sponsored by a homosexual.
Gina, NO decent or moral Christian denomination regards birth defects as sinful or fallen — and your arbitrary decision of what constitutes a defect has no basis in the Bible.
Birth defects and variances are caused by genes — not wicked and unnatural spirits such as yours.
My name is Robert. I am a straight man. My cousin is named Gene, and he posts here sometimes. I have been visiting him for three weeks, and it has been tense at times. I have long hoped he would stop being gay, and hoped that maybe talking with him, and prayer, could help him, but that is not the main reason I am visiting.
But, these last three weeks have made me see some things I had not thought about much before. I have been to his church, which accepts him, and is full of people who love God. I have met his friends, and his, and this is still hard to get out, husband. And, I see how much people like him are still picked on and abused by people.
One of his friends I met is a transgendered woman. I had not met someone like that before. I am surprised to say that I not only liked her (yeah, her) but I liked her a lot. And, I find I respect her to. This surprised me.
I was thinking about this, and reading some of the websites Gene suggested I start looking at. Including this one. And I read the article by Gina.
Gina, I was unsure of where I stood until I read your article. You mention you hope to influence at least one person. Well, you have. Me. And when Gene wakes up later, I am going to apologize to him for not accepting him earlier for the great guy he is. When I get home, I will talk to all my brothers and cousins, and my friends. We have been wrong about him, about other gay people, and transgendered people to.
Thank you Gina. I want to love and be loved by my relative. I want to show people the same respect they show me. Including the retired person, now a woman, who used to be a soldier, and fought for my freedom, and was, and is, an elder in my Church.
I was wavering on this. But, by the example you set, the lack of respect you express, and the utter lack of love in your words, you have helped me decide.
I accept my gay cousin. :) And, I will accept his transgendered friends. And I will, when I see my family over Christmas, let them all know this.
You wanted one person to influence, well, you got ‘em.
Thanks.

Jeebus Christ will someone please submit proof of the existence of gawd if it is going to be used so much in arguments.
Robert: thank you.
Gene: thank you also.
Gina: “If just ONE person reads my words from your site and is led to get free from the homosexual lifestyle, you will have played a wonderful part in someone’s liberation.”
Backfire Gina. Robert has seen the light.
What’s it feel like to be a dying breed?
Birth Defects = Sinfulness
A view last held by the Spanish Inquisition! You really haven’t moved on much from then.
And these “powerful spiritual forces”? Who are they? Satan fits that bill – so we’re satanic? Birth defects are satanic? XXY chromosomes are satanic?
Can you see why you are on the lunatic fringe, cant’ you? You sound like a crazy person.
You and Scott – good reasons for this website to exist.

The only way of curing the distress this mixed physical anatomy causes is to lessen the discordance. As the differences in neuro-anatomy extend to the cellular level, the brain can’t be changed. The body can be, by surgery and hormones. Not completely, yet, but we’re working on it.
If anyone is wondering…yeah…this is one of the best days of my life. (tears of joy!)
From your words, you show yourself as not a very good person Gina, and you are badly misinformed, and you need a better quality church. But, I owe you more than you can ever know. So, with all honesty I say, Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
“Woe to them who call evil good and good evil; that put darkness for light and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Isaiah 5:20
“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.” Romans 1:18-32
I didn’t make rules. I’m only a messenger, and it will do none of you any good to rail at me and hurl stupid ad hominem insults. You all are so deeply committed to your delusions, that it would take a major act of God to shake you loose and set you free.
Best wishes to you all.
There are better messengers, with the full message of Gods love and acceptance, not the trash of fundamentalism Gina. The Episcopal Church, The United Church of Christ, the Metropolitan Community Church, Most of the Presbyterians, The Lutherans, even a lot of Baptists and far more Catholics than one might suppose.
If we read the Bible the way you seem to, quoting the bits we like, we would still have slavery, the death penalty for adultry, and you would have to be silent, and not try to “teach”. Maybe the last part would have value.
No, you do not make the rules, and better churches and better Christians than you, men and women from our oldest, most established, and most educated denominations, have made a better case than you for the acceptance of Gay people. This is why more and more denominations and congregtions are now welcoming gay people as they are. And history will leave you listed with the racists, opposers of equality for women, and other fanatics who quoted scripture to support their cause. And whose great grandchildren look back on them with shame.
Much as yours will you.
Gina is a flagrant violator of Biblical mandates, someone who uses Bible verses only when it suits her ego.
We’ve seen enough of her inhospitality, gossip, and false witness. She has been put on permanent moderation.
Pope Michael hath spoken.
Gina, you might want to consider why it is that your only answer to Robert & Gene’s comments is to regurgitate scripture. Don’t you think that if what you were saying had any basis in reality, you’d be able to speak to people without engaging in rote recitation?
I did forget, in my last message, one last thing.
Again, unpleasant and vicious as you may be, I am in your debt, so once again, thank you.
I just heard from one of Roberts brothers, and, it was wonderful. I had kind of avoided his place over the holidays in recent years. He just told me not to this year. And, to bring my husband, whom he will welcome as a part of our family. I did not know he had been feeling guilty about the way he had given us the cold shoulder, or that he had gotten to really know a gay man at his work, and was already growing in his understanding of gay people. Without your message, Robert probably would not have brought the topic up, at least before Christmas. Without Robbies (Robert) description of how you write about other human beings, and how it put him off and made him think, Al (his brother) might not have been comfortable saying “you know, after getting to know a gay guy, I feel the same way…put Gene on the phone”. Thank you!
Gina, I intend to spread your message, and the way it sounds, and the tone of your writing, to other people. While not in the “rev” Phelps league, your words are a valuable instrument. In just one morning, I have already seen this!
Again, my thanks.
Gina,
People can overcome ignorance and religious bigotry through the power of education and reason. Millions have done it. Give it a try.
