I. INTRODUCTION
Based on its free speech privileges, the American press is charged
with providing a "window to the world" by which the polity may locate
the source of a social malaise, evaluate and correct it. But, if
establishment media–news and entertainment–broadcasts
disinformation and conceals adverse information about a matter or
malaise, then the Fourth Estate becomes an unelected fifth column
directing law and public policy. Philip Kotler’s classic work Marketing
Management2 documents how controlled news is used to "both stimulate
public opinion and miseducate" it.3 Rodgers and Kotler report that in a
media campaign, two and one-half percent of our social leaders often
sway roughly thirteen percent of the public early-on who later move
another thirty-four percent, and so on until a majority accept and adapt
to the proffered new product or idea.4
Media portrayal–positive or negative–can have a profound impact
on public perception. For example, the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York

hyena cage, the sheep exhibit, and the gerbil display are covering the
circus. In the last quarter-decade, American journalism has
transitioned from a profession of disinterested chroniclers to one more
akin to a band of lobbyists using the press to support activist causes.
One of the most effective pressure groups in this brave new media
world is the NLGJA. Farah reported:
Have you ever wondered why coverage of homosexuals and their
cause is so universally positive? Now you know. The NLGJA's
president works at the Dallas Morning News. One vice president
works at CNN. Another works at Newsday. The treasurer works at the
New York Times. The secretary works for USA Today. Looks like
they've got most of the bases covered.
....
Barbara Walters, Lesley Stahl, New York Times Publisher Arthur
Ochs Sulzberger, all . . . have participated in previous NLGJA
events.11
Moreover, on September 13, Farah reported on the NLGJA
convention in San Francisco:
I told you this conference was important for one reason -- it's the
best example of how our national press corps has become a band of
activists, promoting political and cultural causes under the guise of
objective news reporting.
While I have been chronicling the activities of [NLGJA] for several
years, it wasn't until the 10th anniversary convention in San
Francisco last weekend that the group truly came out of the closet
with regard to its own activist agenda.
This is not, as the group has portrayed itself, a "professional
organization" that promotes higher standards, or gives its members a
chance to compare notes, or an outfit that plans good parties for
homosexual journalists once a year. It is, instead, a group that has
bent so far toward changing the newsroom culture that the big debate
in San Francisco was whether journalists should even bother getting
other points of view on homosexuals' issues and stories.
....
CBS correspondent and NLJGA member Jeffrey Kofman made his
thinking clear: "The argument (is): Why do we constantly see in
coverage of gay and lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues the
homophobes and the fag-haters quoted in stories when, of course, we
don't do that with Jews, blacks, et cetera?"
Paula Madison, vice president of diversity at NBC and news
director for the NBC's New York City affiliate WNBC, added: "I agree
with him. I don't see why we would seek out . . . the absurd, inane
point of view just to get another point of view."
....
Up until now, lip service has been paid to the notion of balance in
the press. Even though we all know it is a myth and that the corporate

media are in bed with the very groups they claim to be covering
objectively, there was a "pretense" toward fairness. That's gone. Hasta
la vista. Bye-bye.12
The mainstream press has ignored recent studies confirming the
hisorical professional view that homosexuality is correlated with
disorder. In 1999, the Archives of General Psychiatry published two
studies correlating homosexuality with significantly higher levels of
mental illness than among the population at large.13 Yet a Westlaw
search did not reveal a single newspaper story in the United States on
either of the two studies. Even before those studies were published,
George Rekers, the pioneering researcher in the study Gender Identity
Disorder, said that "it would now appear logical that homosexuality per
se be re-examined as a mental disorder."14 Yet the press rarely covers
scientific research unfavorable to gay activists. Instead, politically
incorrect researchers like Rekers are ignored. On the other hand, the
press repeatedly cites studies as "fact" that allege homosexuality is
biologically determined.15 Though the NLGJA has only recently become
so blatant16 about its agenda, such blatancy is the product of a well
considered and brilliantly executed strategy that began about the time
the NGLJA was founded. Below is the diagram provided by homosexual
activists Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen in After The Ball,
addressing what they call their "conspiracy" (in their own words).17

to market a new homosexual public face. Kirk and Madsen argued that
the AIDS epidemic could conquer American resistance to Gays in the
‘90s.18 The Kirk and Madsen "conspiracy" urges the homosexual
movement to cite the research of Alfred Kinsey (now discredited,
especially his false claims of ten to thirty-seven percent male
homosexuality).19 They also suggest covering up male homosexual
promiscuity and predation toward youth and boys by claiming to be
traditionalists and faultless victims of religious bigotry.20 Kirk and
Madsen’s "Portfolio of Pro-Gay Advertising"21 has been the national
model for these pro-gay arguments. To change public attitudes toward
homosexuals, Kirk and Madsen explain, activists must target an
"unbigoted" audience, i.e. children.22 Instead of free and open debate,
Kirk and Madsen advocate silencing critics, desensitizing mainstream
America to bi/homosexuality, "jamming" any contrary information, and
converting and mobilizing sympathetic political forces.23

tiresome. . . . First, gays can use talk to muddy the waters," to "undermine" the views of the

campaign, the public should not be shocked and repelled by premature exposure to
homosexual behavior itself. Instead, the imagery of sex per se should be downplayed, and
the issue of gay rights reduced, as far as possible, to an abstract social question." Id. at

Id. The authors go into some rather intimate detail about the sexual drawings and
writings on the bathroom walls and the notes proffered to them beneath the interstall

‘Why can’t a Harvard boy go to the john in this dump without being groped

With apologies from this author for the graphic nature of the following, Kirk &
Madsen, note that sex in public toilets
isn’t at all uncommon . . . in the men’s rooms of Ivy League Colleges, and in
the public lavatories, parks, and alleyways of every manor city in the
United States. Theirs is the wretchedest of all gay excesses . . . . They
masturbate in the urinals, wander totally naked up and down the length of
the facility, and fellate one another in acrobatic positions in the open
doorways of the stall. When they ejaculate—and they do—on the seats,
walls, or floors, they leave it there to congeal into a nasty, highly
identifiable puddle. . . ."
Id. at 309-310
The damage is redoubled when such creatures solicit straight boys—a prime
example of the gay tendency to "live down to the stereotype. . . .[I]t makes
apparent liars out of gays who protest that their sexual activities occur only
in private and between consenting adults, and are therefore of no legitimate
interest to the straight community or its legislative apparatus. . . . And we
emphasize, such behavior isn’t at all uncommon."
Id. at 310-11 (emphasis added).
Kirk & Madsen pinpoint a "not uncommon" public sex crime. A friend of theirs
gleefully detailed how he attained an orgasm by pushing into a terrified "thirteen-year-old
boy" trapped "in a crowded rock concert." Kirk & Madsen explain, "[t]his is not good public
relations." Id. at 311.

about, and dealt with more in straight relationships than in gay male
relationships."48
Approximately 21,000 Americans are murdered every year, an
average of 58 each day,49 compared to two killings allegedly based on
"sexual orientation" in 1996.50 These hard data find "gay" men to be at
far greater risk of harm from other gay men and from outraged, often
former boy abuse victims, than from homophobic rednecks. Yet Island
and Letellier find establishment media and the homosexual media will
not print the truth about inter-gay violence. Why?
It "would be just plain bad press for gays and . . . all bad news needs
to be suppressed. . . . [G]ay men truly . . . . have a proportionate share of
violent individuals in their midst who bash other gay men [and boys] in
startlingly high numbers."51 "The gay community needs to recognize that
wealthy, white, educated, ‘politically correct’ gay men batter their
lovers."52
The Advocate, the premier magazine for homosexual readers,
reports that a minimum of seventy-five percent of its readers admit to
engaging in violent sex; twenty percent engaged in sadistic "bondage and
discipline"; and fifty-five percent engaged in other sex acts using painful
objects.53
Compared to heterosexual distrust or dislike, the rare assault
inflicted on someone at a bar and the singular, although horrible,
aberrant murder, it is fair to say that the on-going, most significant
"hate crimes" against homosexuals are, as Kirk and Madsen noted,
inflicted by homosexuals.54 In 1987, "the San Francisco police responded
48 Id. at 16. As a side bar, it is striking that violence to boy children by trusted
adult males is also a common theme in homosexual and "heterosexual" pornography. In the
latter, young girls are seduced and graphically raped but rarely illustrated as stabbed,
killed or cannibalized (unless in a scene with a boy). For example, one Playboy cartoon has
Santa, having just eaten a little lad, tell his elf, "Bring in another!" PLAYBOY, Jan. 1977, at
221. A Penthouse cartoon depicts Santa having blown apart a small boy’s brain with the
caption, "That’ll teach you to be a good boy." PENTHOUSE, Dec. 1977, at 208. In another
Penthouse cartoon a Victorian family at the dinner table prepares to eat a headless, naked,
cooked boy as father says, "And God bless Tiny Tim" (Tim’s crutch has been laid aside
forever). PENTHOUSE, Dec. 1988, at 210.

In 1981, the homosexual press reported that about ten percent of
San Francisco’s homicides resulted from homosexual sadomasochistic
abuse,56 a finding that would be in keeping with the Reisman & Johnson
data (discussed hereinafter), and that of several homophile researchers

victims by male homosexual predators. ISLAND & LETTELIER, supra note 42.

male victims of "Rape or sexual assault." DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, NATIONAL CRIME
VICTIMIZATION SURVEY: CHANGES 1999-2000 WITH TRENDS 1993-2000, at 8 (2001). The
data citing 14,700 male "rape" victims identify no males reporting their forcible
sodomization-rape as a "hate crime." Id. Roughly 14,700 males (commonly young boys)
were sodomized (while sodomy is perhaps an equally vile crime, I confine "rape" to its
traditional definition of penetration of the female) during 1999-2000. Therefore, these
14,700 males were largely victims of bi/homosexual assault.
Assuming the accuracy of the now discredited Kinseyan 10% homosexual figure,
Island and Letellier estimate "500,000 gay male victims [of "domestic" violence] each year."
ISLAND & LETTELIER, supra note 42, at 13. The figures proposed by Island and Letellier
and the Lloyd and West data documenting the sexual violence common to 300,000 to
600,000 boy prostitutes (addressed further herein) suggest that the 14,700 "rape" figure
from the Department of Justice is a modest estimate of the current problem of
bi/homosexual sexual violence.

And in 1990, while the Los Angeles Times quietly noted that twenty-
four percent of intravenous drug abusers studied who donated blood to
the blood bank had HIV,136 no data appeared on what percentage of this
group was bi/homosexual. In AIDS: The Unnecessary Epidemic, Dr.
Stanley Monteith, M.D. documents "[t]he frightening story telling how
the AIDS and Gay Lobbies have been able to prevent physicians from
monitoring or controlling this epidemic."137
Moreover, the effort to bring AIDS into the heterosexual world as
the only way to ever get a cure appears as part of the homosexual
literature. Homosexual activist Randy Shilts, in And the Band Played
On, documents the efforts of "gay organizations" that "firmly opposed
taking any action to screen blood donors saying the screening would pose
serious civil rights questions."138 Shilts fairly reported, "hemophiliac
organizations were stunned by the gay perspective. What about a
hemophiliac’s right to life? They asked."139 Once again, gay activists
demonstrated that other people’s lives are less important than
promoting their own socio-sexual agenda.

The GAU has long fought for domination of its worldview within the
academic community. One popularized establishment academician, Kate
Millet, counseled the members of the GAU "we are . . . powered [by] and
have lived and survived on the value, the energy of our [homosexual]
passion."144 Millet argued that the nation should be changed to accept
this "army of lovers" who will bring "the power of eros" into the lives of
all Americans.145 In her interview in Paidika, The Journal of
Paedophilia’s "Special Woman’s Issue," Millet calls for "an emancipation
proclamation for children" to legalize what she calls children’s "non-
exploitive" sex with adults or children, "probably heroic and very
wonderful."146
As mentioned previously, researchers and academics with politically
incorrect results or opinions often find their careers at a sudden dead
end. Moreover, college campuses–ostensibly the bastion of intellectual
freedom–have become a haven for violent homosexual extremists.
Ex-gay speakers and those critical of the homosexual movement
face such silencing everywhere. The outspoken and brilliant "pagan"
lesbian Camille Paglia described her reaction to the tactics employed by
ACT-UP, a radical homosexual organization:
ACT-UP’s hysteria made me reconsider those vilified therapists and
ministers who think change of homosexual orientation is possible and
whose meetings are constantly disrupted by gay agitators. Is gay
identify so fragile that it cannot bear the thought that some people
may not wish to be gay? . . .
....
If a gay man wants to marry and sire children, why should he be
harassed by gay activists . . . ? [Counseling should not be] strafed by
gay artillery fire of reverse moralism. Heterosexual love . . . is in sync
with cosmic forces. Not everyone has the stomach for daily war with
nature.147
Paglia’s observation that "[h]eterosexual love . . . is in sync with
cosmic forces"148 is one that is not supported in the current political
climate. One can see the development of a two-tiered pattern of
suppression: (1) Bi/homosexuals at the National Institute of Health or on
peer review committees try to quash funding or publication of studies by

The ten percent figure, servilely repeated by the media, was pure
propaganda, and it made me, as a scholar, despise gay activists for
their unscrupulous disregard for the truth. [Homosexuals were too
well aware that one in ten of the men that they met were not "gay."]
Their fibs and fabrications continue, now about the still-fragmentary
evidence for a genetic link to homosexuality and for homosexual
behavior among animals.166
As Pagilia suggests, Kinsey was long ago exposed as a scientific
fraud. Both of Kinsey’s most recent admiring biographers confessed he
was a sadistic bi/homosexual who seduced his male students and coerced
his wife, his staff, and the staff’s wives to perform for and with him in
illegal pornographic films made in the family attic.167 Kinsey and his
mates, Wardell Pomeroy, Clyde Martin, and Paul Gebhard, had "front"
marriages, which concealed their strategies to supplant what they saw
as a narrow procreational Judeo Christian era with a promiscuous
"anything goes" bi/gay pedophile paradise.168 We now know Kinsey, for
example, "was deeply influenced by five pedophile headmasters who
were quite clear they had very warm relationships with young
adolescent boys of twelve or thirteen" in one New England area.169 An
early adherent and advocate of masturbation, Kinsey suffered an
untimely death due, at least in part, to "orchitis," a lethal infection in his
testicles that followed years of sadistic, orgiastic "self-abuse."170 Kinsey’s
obsessive, brutally masochistic masturbation methods appear to have
assisted in his early demise.
Kinsey solicited and encouraged pedophiles, at home and abroad, to
sexually violate from 317 to 2035 infants and children for his alleged
data on normal "child sexuality."171 Many of the crimes against children
(oral and anal sodomy, genital intercourse and manual abuse) committed
for Kinsey’s research are quantified in his own graphs and charts.172 For
example, "Table 34" on page 181 of Kinsey’s Male volume, claims to be a
"scientific" record of "multiple orgasm in pre-adolescent males."173 Here,
infants as young as five months were timed with a stop watch for
"orgasm" by Kinsey’s "technically trained" aides, with one four-year-old

an effort that directly resembles the current media spin controls and
suppression of critical findings on homosexuality:
On July 23, 1981, Reisman delivered a paper entitled "The
Scientist as a Contributing Agent to Child Sexual Abuse: A
Preliminary Study," in which she brought up for the first time in the
thirty-two years since it had been published, the material on child
sexuality in Tables 30-34 of the Kinsey Male volume and wondered
how this data could have been obtained without involvement in
criminal activity. Before giving her report, Reisman had written to
Male volume co-author Paul Gebhard to ask about the data in Tables
30-34. Gebhard wrote back saying that the data had been obtained
from parents, school teachers, and some male homosexuals, including
"some of Kinsey's men" who had used "manual and oral techniques" to
catalogue the number of orgasms they said they could stimulate in
infants and children. Virtually the entire sex industry-sex research
establishment worldwide was in attendance at the meeting in
Jerusalem, but the reaction to the talk was silence, stunned or sullen
or otherwise, until a Swedish reporter wondered out loud why the
assembled experts had nothing to say.
The silence was understandable. Just about everyone in
attendance had cited Kinsey as their mentor, and some even knew
about the criminal activity involved in Kinsey's research. They all
knew that Kinsey's research was the basis of their "science," which is
to say, the legitimizing basis for everything they did. Kinsey was the
foundation of that house of cards. If what he had done could be
discredited, it threatened the sexual empire which had been built
since his death and upon which they all depended for a livelihood.
Later when word got out that Reisman had government money to
pursue her thesis and show a link between Kinsey' s exploitation of
child "sexuality" and Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler' s exploitation
of the same thing, stunned silence turned to determined, if behind the
scenes, action.184
Notre Dame Law Professor Charles E. Rice later commented that
this author’s study "supports the conclusion that Alfred Kinsey’s
research was contrived, ideologically driven and misleading. Any judge,
legislator or other public official who gives credence to that research is
guilty of malpractice and dereliction of duty."185 Yet in the nearly twenty
years (1982-2000) since Kinsey was exposed as a fraud, Westlaw
journal articles cite Kinsey positively roughly 650 times–from hate
crimes and homosexual marriage to child custody and rape. The Social
Science and Science Citation Indices reference Kinsey roughly 6000
times over this same period. On the evidence, Kinsey is far and away the
most influential sex scientist in the law.186 Fully 100% of the sex science
citations in the original 1955 American Law Institute’s "Model Penal
Code" cite Kinsey’s bogus data on "normal sexuality"—alive today in
courts and legislatures.187
Pioneering the current Kirk and Madsen model, Kinsey’s critics
were largely silenced and/or slandered by Kinsey and the establishment
media (which celebrated his discoveries on the cover of seventy percent
of American newspapers)188 and "jammed" critics as sexually repressed,
ignorantly religious, mean spirited, unscientific, and backward versus
Kinsey (using many photographs) as a normal, middle-American
husband and father and a scholarly seeker of truth. Continued media
applause desensitized the public. Kinsey was praised as the prophet of
the sexual revolution. In her latest book on the subject,189 this author
argues that America’s growing libidinous pathologies–taught as "safe"
and "safer" sex in primary, secondary, and graduate schools and
reflected in our fine and popular arts, the press, law, and public policy–
largely mirror the documented190 sexual psychopathologies of the Kinsey
Institute team itself.191
This "free sex" movement coarsened the populace by demoting sex
from its rarified, idealistic, marital pedestal and private expression into
ye old pagan rituals of public display, discourse and performance. One of
the end results of Kinsey’s "grand scheme" would be the revival of the
traffic in both adult and child heterosexual and homosexual prostitution
and pornography.

191 Kinsey and team members fit the classic definition of "sexual psychopath: an
groups. However, after Kinsey the child sex industry rose again,193
carried forward by two Kinsey acolytes. A virginal college youth, Hugh
Hefner, read Kinsey and became his "pamphleteer" aiming to legitimize
adult and, more subtly, child194 pornography.195
Harry Hay, a bisexual molested as a fourteen-year-old boy,196 read
Kinsey’s claim that ten to thirty-seven percent of men are sometime-
homosexuals, left his wife and children, and began the campaign to
legitimize sodomy. Hay elevated sodomy from a defining pathological
and illegal act to a state of being. Homosexuals, Hay said, are an
oppressed "minority"197 deserving special or civil rights, thereby
spawning the "gay" rights movement.
Kinsey’s anthem of sexual promiscuity without consequences would
be played out over the decades, but Kinsey’s data deliberately covered up
the disastrous consequences of deprivatizing sex to promote greater
"public sexual expression"–increased prostitution, public sexual
solicitations, sodomy and obscenity, venereal disease, illegitimacy,
abortion and finally drug abuse, suicide, rape, homicide, child sexual
abuse, and a myriad of other social disorders. Absent bad consequences,
Kinsey, Hefner, Hay, The American Law Institute, etc., said that laws
restricting public or private sexual activity were obsolete. After 1948,
pressured by media and scholars, and with the legal profession parroting
the Rockefeller-funded Kinsey, the omnipresent "vice squads" rapidly
disappeared.198 Kinsey admirer and Princeton historian David Allyn
explained:
[Kinsey undermined] the very legitimacy of public morality itself . . . .
In the post-WWII era, experts abandoned the concept of "public
morals," a concept which had underpinned the social control of
American sexuality from the 1870's onward . . . . Sexual Behavior in
the Human Male was virtually silent when it came to questions of
public sexuality; this silence served Kinsey's deregulatory ends.199
"Consent" has become the moral imperative surrounding sexual
conduct. Not only has "consent" legalized unwed sex between adults
("fornication"), but implicitly between youths as well, justifying "safe
sex" instruction to schoolchildren and even allowing Harvard Ph.D. John

guides did not fully favor eliminating age of consent laws, Gerald
Hannon says the boys will learn better soon:
Why is sexual childhood necessary? By that I mean why is it necessary
to maintain the myth that children are not sexual beings? It is
maintained, after all, in the face of rather massive evidence to the
contrary. Infants in their cribs have orgasms—Kinsey documented
them in babies less than a year old . . . .212
Simply being young does not endow you with a perspective on social
change. That has to be learned. Consciousness-raising is crucial . . .
And if the Gay Youth Group isn’t prepared quite yet to demand an
abolition to age-of-consent laws, that’s all right. But it’s one of the
things they’re preparing for . . . .213
During the recent gay conference in Toronto, the matter of age-of-
consent laws surfaced for reconsideration. Their abolition is one of the
demands of the National Gay Rights Coalition (NGRC) . . . its
contingent should contain a few teenagers . . . The question is where to
get them. The answer, again, is to proselytize. At present, we do not
have organizations that are chock-a-block full of young people . . . . To
attract young people to the gay movement in large numbers should be
the challenge to the next phase of the movement. It is a challenge we
have set ourselves . . . .214
As a result of such cult proselytizing in schools nationwide, many
homosexual groups are now "chock-a-block full of young people."215
"Adult advisors" also answer the challenge to what Hannon called the
next phase, "to attract young people to the gay movement in large
numbers."216 Child "initiates" (many who die early of AIDS)217 are
the author who, up to age 16, was a member of the "Labor Youth League," organized (I
realized later) by adults in the Communist Party. However, experimenting with radical
political ideologies, ideas of the mind, do not corrupt body and soul, and, unlike
homosexual experiments, can be a learning experience, left behind as easily as an old pair
of socks.

foreseen that . . . gay youth would also have to contend with the new
horrors of AIDS [and that] . . . teenage gays and lesbians would shun
older gays as role models or even as friends . . . ."239
To meet this challenge, Herdt said, "[O]nly now has gay culture
begun to institutionalize ‘socialization’ techniques for the transmission of
its cultural knowledge to a younger generation . . ."240 as "local ‘gay’
movements provide their own infrastructural support for the coming out
process in teens."241
Homophile medical anthropologist Douglas Feldman claimed, "these
kids are our (the gay community’s) future and we must invest in
them."242 Yet, Feldman admits that gay and lesbian organizations
discourage having "gay" boys tested for HIV.243 Why? Feldman’s reply is
disturbing. "Teenagers tend to be very susceptible to sexually
transmissible diseases [that testing might expose],"244 observed
Feldman,. In any event, Feldman observes, these boys "have about a one
in four chance of developing AIDS in approximately five years."245 So
how does the gay community counteract the unforeseen boyish fear of
homosexual sex and an early, painful and lonely death?
Methods of socialization into "gay cultural values" were
subsequently developed and implemented.246 The victim-minority
propaganda techniques which Marshall and Kirk diagramed in After The
Ball were largely followed to facilitate sexual access to all American
schoolchildren. "How To Stop Child Abuse," is one of a series of full-page,
fear-based advertisements designed by Kirk and Madsen to sell the idea
of "bi/homosexual youth" to middle-America.247 Propagandizing as
science the false Kinsey data that "one in every ten kids" is gay, the ad
poses a forlorn, average young boy of about thirteen years of age.
Implicit in the ad language is the threat to parents and boys–this could
be you.248
The ad says the boy felt "different" when growing up and realized he
was gay. 249 Then he was abused (thrown out of his home) by his parents
and brutally rejected by his friends.250 Because most children feel
"different," telling children this could mean they are "gay" exploits the
viewer’s fear even as it encourages homosexual experimentation and
recruitment.251
Kirk and Madsen provide an eight point "Strategic Evaluation" form
to evaluate an ad’s success in vilifying the "straight" world as scoundrels
and smearing "parents [and] his folks," who are not gays, as child
abusers.252 This advertisement rates a "Bull’s–eye," say Kirk and
Madsen,253 for implicit in the ad "How To Stop Child Abuse" is the boy’s
possible suicide because of "his folks’" intolerance of yet another "gay
teen."254 Following is the Kirk and Madsen analysis of the ad:
STRATEGY: Jamming / Conversion / Desensitization. Build straight
sympathy and protectiveness toward gays by portraying them as
innocent victims of circumstance and bigotry. Teach readers that
homosexuality is extremely common. [Kinsey’s fraudulent 10 percent
claim]
COMMENT: The headline catches the eye, and trades on the
perennial public hysteria about child abuse (which is, of course, often
blamed on gays). Then the copy turns the tables on straights: by
focusing on teens, the ad portrays gays as innocent and vulnerable,
victimized and misunderstood, surprisingly numerous yet not
menacing. It also renders the ‘anti-family’ charge absurd and
hypocritical. Bull’s eye. 255
However, the truth is that the "public hysteria about child abuse" is
grounded in real sexual violence, including sexual violence to boys by
men. Moreover, current U.S. population data comparing heterosexuals
and homosexuals finds that child abuse should be "often blamed on
gays," a population which reports that its strategy of winning youths
necessitates "coaching" and "guiding" children into homosexual
experimentation.

inherent in the initiation of lonely and isolated children into early sex,
and the predictable pattern of sexual disease and even death from
homosexual conduct, the twin myths of condom safety and "informed
consent" have become the sex educator’s fetish. School personnel are
warned that they must adhere to the new sexuality dogma or be labeled

source of the current positive pedophilia program. University of
Minnesota Press is advertising its new book, "Harmful to Minors: The

anxieties about pedophilia. Its author, Judith Levine, claimed there is
no proof that "it’s always harmful for kids to have sexual relationships
with adults . . . a boy’s sexual experience with a priest could be
positive."268
"With more research, some scholars say, it may be only a matter of
time before modern society accepts adult-child sex, just as it has learned
to accept premarital sex and homosexual sex."269 "Children are the last
bastion of the old sexual morality," wrote one of the trailblazers for this
view, Harris Mirkin, an associate professor of political science at the

child sex offender raped and sexually mutilated and castrated a 7-year-old boy, triggering a
"task force on sexual predators" in Washington State. The story was buried by most of the
establishment press.

cases of boy sex murders. On point, one boy was "picked up by two men .
. . and castrated . . . . Both men said they were homosexual. The older
man worked as a counselor for The Helping Hands Community Center, a
gay organization."297
In yet another homosexual-child murder, a man mortally stabbed a
boy during sex; elsewhere, in a more common turn of events, a boy,
apparently sodomized for years by "a former social worker," stabbed the
elderly man to death.298 These news stories, however, are rarely covered
by the establishment media. And, bearing in mind that older boys often
initiate younger children into the affluent homosexual life of
pornography and prostitution, Lloyd cites one gay youth who fatally
stabbed a youngster for rebuffing "the elder’s sexual advance."299 Says
Lloyd, "Stories of violence like these are commonplace" in the gay
world.300 Perhaps so, but such stories are seldom reported to the public
by the media.

under age twelve. That is, 33% of all victims of sexual assault reported
to law enforcement were ages twelve through seventeen and were
under age 12.304
In each sexual assault category, except forcible rape, children below
the age of twelve were about half of all victims.305
The report cites twenty-six percent of sex assault victims under
twelve as boys,306 commonly sexually abused by men, sometimes with a
female accomplice. The lowest of the three lines in the DoJ chart below
graphically suggests roughly a sixteen percent female offender rate, a
disturbing growth in sexually perverted women. The report also shows
that women are twelve percent of the offenders of boys and girls under
six years old.307 Older juveniles also sexually offend against boys and
girls. "Based on the NIBRS data, the year in a male's life when he is most
likely to be the victim of a sexual assault is age 4."308
"By age 17 his risk of victimization has been cut by a factor of 5 . . . .
[U]nder age 12, [boys reported] sexual assault with an object (19%),
forcible fondling (26%), and forcible sodomy (64%)."309 (See figure 5
above).
As shown above, sexual violence is well documented among adult
bi/homosexual males, the primary offenders against the smallest of boys.
It is only reasonable to ask if the same proclivity holds true for those
homosexuals who use boy prostitutes. Nonetheless, any further research
studies trying to quantify the anecdotal evidence would almost certainly
be denied funding in today’s climate. At the least, such results would not
likely see the light of day.
D. Image is Everything
Today’s NLGJA-influenced press almost certainly would have
silenced the 1984 information released by The New York Times,
"Officials Cite a Rise in Killers Who Roam U.S. for Victims."310 Alongside
a profile of the male killers of women and girls, this in-depth article
noted the high percentage of homosexuals among the offenders. The
Times reported, "Many of the most violent recent multiple murders have

said one of his charges, "always told us to take our tops off."320 He was
having "problems trying to revive a boys club he ran after leaving the
Boy Scouts,"321 just before he massacred the children.
Again, although the homosexual press often reports adult inter-gay
murders, both they and the establishment press avoid covering
homosexual assaults and murders of boys like Jesse Dirkhising and
Jeffrey Curley. Short of murder, parents commonly don’t prosecute
homosexual abusers, fearing the publicity,322 while police often finesse
important or affluent predators out of town.323
Having obtained endorsements from leaders in the homosexual
movement,324 Lloyd still exposes some homosexual child sex rings. Boise,
Idaho, "sheltered a widespread homosexual underworld that . . . had
preyed on hundreds of teen-age boys."325 A Wisconsin town quietly
suppressed "a homosexual ring" of about thirty-five closeted men,
including prestigious leaders such as a college dean, a hospital president,
a Roman Catholic priest, several physicians, a man "hired to teach at a
school for mentally retarded children," and others.326 The "homosexual
ring . . . had [with liquor and pornography,] enticed and contaminated
many small boys as young as eight years old" into sex.327 Investigator
Clifford Lindecker confirms Lloyd’s findings of brutal but "respectable"
pederasts fueling a flourishing traffic in boy prostitution.
Boy prostitution . . . is growing and becoming more obvious as
homosexuals come out of the closets and form gay rights groups, and
police power is watered down by court decisions friendlier to civil
rights than to law enforcement and protection of the public . . . . [B]oys
learn that they can earn good money doing something they and their
friends have come to accept as normal behavior.328
After admitting "sex abuse in childhood as a cause of male
prostitution has become almost conventional wisdom,"329 and that "the
perpetrators are nearly always men,"330 homophile Donald West protests
that while his study of male prostitutes found high rates of child sexual
abuse, he felt there was also a high rate of consent.331 Addressing boy
prostitution, West references Gay Search: "Gay Search . . . comments on

the fact that children are often given presents after cooperating with an
abuser and writes: ‘it is easy to see how being rewarded for sexual
favours can lead . . . very naturally to prostitution . . . .’"332
Boyer has argued that the culture of gay bars and meeting places,
often referred to as a sexual market place by its emphasis on casual
encounters and sexual conquest, holds out to young gays the
expectation of patronage by older males and presents prostitution as a
more or less normal aspect of the gay scene.333
Lloyd reports yet another "gay" child pornography case where a
group of boys seeking counseling from a junior high science teacher were
recruited into sodomy and pornography.334 One Los Angeles school
teacher and child pornographer brought "groups of boys aged seven
through thirteen across the border every three months."335 And West
confirms common knowledge of the brutality prevalent in both
prostitution and homosexuality:
Many sexual assaults happening in later years were described during
the interviews . . . . [Some victims were] forced by clients and their
accomplices to submit to unwanted, painful or damaging sexual acts . .
. . [M]any men reported assaults in the course of sexual contacts
unconnected with prostitution . . . . [T]he risk is to an extent inherent
in some gay male lifestyles.336
Obscenity seduces and habituates even well educated men and
women through the introduction of pornography in homes, in schools,
and through library internet connections; vulnerable boys and girls are
increasingly at risk from a growing molester constituency.337 In the last
few years the Nobel Prize winner Dr. Carleton Gadjusek, American
University President Dr. Richard Berendzen, and American University
psychology department head Dr. Elliot McGinnies were convicted of
pedophile-associated felonies, all while Kinseyan sex science leader Dr.
John Money of Johns Hopkins was documented, like his mentor Dr.
Kinsey, as a sadistic, pedophilic-oriented sexual psychopath.338 Higher
education does not appear to restrain predatory pedophiles.

X. CONCLUSION
Justification for teaching children about sex acts is based on the
unverified claim that children are sexual from birth and that juveniles
are not able to be self governing because hormones are "raging" leading
most youths, naturally, to sexual activity and AIDS. This requires, argue
the sex "experts," graphic sex instruction from older, allegedly wiser
teachers or "guides" on sexual techniques and related issues. Moreover,
the excuse for explicit school sex demonstrations and distribution of
condoms has been "to inform" school children of the condom’s "safe sex”
properties if used properly (now established as a false assumption).
Ironically though, homosexual activists have systematically purged
major condom ads from their own periodicals. It is not a coincidence that
since the teaching of Kinseyan promiscuity began, and traditional
American sexual reticence was abandoned, sexual disease, despair,
violence and dysfunction are rampant and show no signs of abating.
The public should be aware that increasing children's promiscuity
advances the interests of sexual predators and of the booming
pornography/prostitution sex industry. Adult society is responsible for
being sufficiently mature to protect our young. Our individual and
societal self indulgence and failure to protect is therefore painfully
visible everywhere. No blame is due any child in this tragic process. The
"coaches," guilty of promoting alleged "consensual" child abuse, should be
located, arrested for contributing to the delinquency of minors and
prosecuted to the full limit of tough pre-Kinsey laws.
James Madison wrote in 1832 that "[a] popular Government,
without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a
Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or perhaps both."364 The managed
media and academic control over information on homosexuality qualify
indeed for creating a modern American Tragedy.

Harvard-educated homosexual icon, Toby Marotta describes
Stonewall as a "Mafia-controlled," "dimly lit dance bar" catering to
"dope-smokers," "acid-heads," "speed freaks" and "street queens."365 A
photograph from the homosexual magazine, 10 Percent, (June 1994, p.
