Homosexuality

MYTH

REALITY

Gay people recruit.

Can you imagine the advertising campaign to attract potential recruits?  "You too can be a member of a despised minority."  Even if gay people wanted to recruit, they can't make a person a homosexual.  It doesn't work that way.

Homosexuality is caused by a distant father and dominant mother .

We have Freud to thank for this myth.  But this flawed theory can't explain families in which passive, indifferent fathers and strong mothers raise heterosexual children, or families in which strong fathers and passive mothers raise homosexual children.  Bottom line:  The personalities or power dynamics of mothers and fathers have no impact on whether a child is heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual.

Gay people are by nature predatory child molesters.

The truth is that the most likely person to molest children is a heterosexual male, and his mos most likely victim is a female child who is a member of his own family.  Gay people are no more likely than heterosexuals to sexually abuse children.

Women become lesbians because they've had bad experiences with men.

If every woman who had a bad experience with a man became a lesbian, there wouldn't be a heterosexual woman left on the planet.
