The release of a book focusing on the increased acceptance of homosexuality among teenagers has horrified Jesus and America’s Christians. Peter LaBarbera, noted Christian pro-family crusader, has made it his mission to debunk the author’s dangerous ideas.
Ritch C. Savin-Williams, a Cornell University psychologist, has recently released The New Gay Teenager (Adolescent Lives)
, a study of teen sexuality across the United States. It seems that non-heterosexual teens are increasingly comfortable with their sexuality, and adopting terms for themselves other than “gay” or “bi” or "Hellbound sodomite".
The publisher (Reed Elsevier) says of the book:
Peter LaBarbera is a pro-family activist best known around Landover for his compassionate 1994 Christian tract Gay youth suicide: Myth is used to promote homosexual agenda
. He now spends much of his time working through his single-issue Americans for Truth about Homosexuality, which he calls “a newly reorganized national organization devoted exclusively to exposing and countering the homosexual activist agenda.”
Where Savin-Williams states that 21% of American teens today report either being homosexual or having had “homosexual experiences” (undefined), LaBarbera brings forth his decades of experience fighting the gay agenda and states without reservation that the figure is exaggerated. He adds,
LaBarbera also thinks the book will encourage teens — frequent readers of books on psychological treatment models in today's liberal high schools — to try something new this week. “I just don’t like the idea of encouraging kids to experiment with what is essentially sexual sin,” says LaBarbera. “As young people become more convinced that homosexuality is acceptable, they are more likely to explore it themselves.”
Of course! As we all know, sexuality is 100% personal choice to reject God, having nothing whatsoever to do with either nature or nurture. That's what the Bible tells us in Romans 1, for Heaven's sake!

“In some respects,” Savin-Williams explains, “these teenagers might relate better to their pre-labeled, pre-identified grandparents than they do with their gay-liberated parents or their gay-resigned older cousins.” “For them ‘gay’ carries too much baggage,” and apparently they get along just fine without it. Much of the volume is devoted to Savin-Williams’s detailed critique of the psychological models currently used to study gay adolescence, which were developed in the 1970s and have barely changed since. These old models, Savin-Williams argues, don’t reflect the diversity of the current gay adolescent experience and should be replaced with a “differential developmental trajectories perspective.” His book is an excellent resource for professional psychologists with gay patients, but it also contains enough invigorating, real-world case studies to interest general readers.
So, it appears to be a book about how best to handle gay teens, aimed primarily at practicing psychologists. Why anyone would send a child to a psychologist instead of a Pastor is beyond me!

God gave us boundaries to protect us, and what seems to be happening here is that elites are telling kids that they can be anything, and kids are practicing all sorts of behaviors and they think that there’s basically no absolute morality anymore.
I remember when I was a teenager, and was told I could be "anything", that meant I could be a nurse, or a secretary, or a housewife . . . ANYTHING. It didn't mean I could be a Hellbound Lezbean like Professor Myeshia SeX!LaBarbera also thinks the book will encourage teens — frequent readers of books on psychological treatment models in today's liberal high schools — to try something new this week. “I just don’t like the idea of encouraging kids to experiment with what is essentially sexual sin,” says LaBarbera. “As young people become more convinced that homosexuality is acceptable, they are more likely to explore it themselves.”
