News Analysis:
All Homosexuals Are Attracted to Opposite Sex, Says Bay Windows

Raises Concerns about Children in Mass. Schools

All homosexuals are sexually attracted to both sexes, according to Bay Windows. They say it's "fiction" that gay men are attracted only to other males or that lesbians are attracted only to women.

If true, this causes grave concern about the way vulnerable children are treated by the schools in Massachusetts. For the last ten years, they have said they can identify children at early ages who are "homosexual" and provide support for them to follow the homosexual lifestyle.

However, if Bay Windows is correct, this indicates that when the schools teach a child to identify with their own sex, they are beginning a homosexual lifestyle which could have been channeled into a heterosexual one.

The Bay Windows thesis also indicates that "ex-gays," who are scoffed at by the homosexual community, are not different or unusual. They are unusual only in that they have chosen to break with homosexuality and stay with a member of the opposite sex.

Must Accept Bi-Sexuals

The Bay Windows Editorial was written by their new editor, Andrew Rapp, who said that the homosexual community has to be more accepting of the bi-sexual community.

"Repeated studies of sexuality," he wrote, "have found that much of the American public is functionally bisexual over the course of their lifetime, experiencing attraction or engaging in sexual contact with people of both genders."

He wrote that if someone believes that "identifying exclusively as gay or lesbian denotes that you are only attracted to those of the same gender, it is a fiction."

Rapp said that that person must ask why have they accepted that fiction. "Is it because gay or lesbian best identifies you, or because it is safer than describing yourself as bisexual?"

The issue arose in the newspaper because many bi-sexuals complain about their exclusion from the gay and lesbian community. The former editor of the paper, Jeff Epperly, quietly left in June 2002 after many years as its editor and as its father. One criticism of him was that he was not inclusive of bi-sexuals.

Rapp wrote: "Among the groups that complain of exclusion from the larger gay and lesbian community, bisexual people are among the most vocal. All of us are familiar with the criticism. So familiar, in fact, that I often hear it dismissed as 'political correctness' run amuck or tedious whining.

"In reality, few gay or lesbian identified people take the time to seriously consider how difficult our community makes it to identify as bisexual. Even fewer take personal responsibility for correcting this wrong. As a result, if bisexuals are a squeaky wheel in our community, it's the community's fault, not theirs."

Rapp wrote that in order to correct the problem, homosexuals should meet their responsibilities.

"So, as this newspaper challenges itself to meet its responsibilities, I challenge readers to do the same. Try coming out as bisexual to someone you know, or at least ask yourself whether you would be supported if you did so. Better yet, be sure you could be as supportive and comfortable of a friend coming out as bisexual as you are with welcoming [sic] gay or lesbian person to our community. And if you aren't able to do this now, get there."

Famed Johns Hopkins Sexual Unit Not as Cavalier with Children as Mass. Schools

The famed sexual unit at Johns Hopkins Medical School has indicated that it has more concern about teenagers than our schools do. It's obvious to everyone that this is a serious decision for any young person, and they should hear about the risks and dangers before being exposed to the homosexual lifestyle.

Johns Hopkins wrote about a 17-year-old boy who was brought to a meeting of a dozen professionals of the unit because his parents had found pornographic, homosexual literature in his room, after which he announced he was homosexual. This appeared in the 1999 winter edition of Hopkins Medical News.

Some of the questions that were being asked by the parents were: "Is their son engaging in risky sexual interactions? Is his homosexual orientation set in stone? Or is this just a variation of an ordinary adolescent identity crisis?" Although we never hear what happened to the boy, it is clear that no one took his decision lightly.

Although the unit would not comment to us about this case, it did tell MassNews that our conclusions were correct that they saw this as a serious issue for the young man which was not to be taken lightly.
