That video really hit close to home. While viewing the video, I recognized M Johnston and in particular the bar where they shot the elderly homosexual scene. The man who owned the bar ended up being a client of mine while he was dying of AIDS.

There were many good points illustrated on this video. One thing that was mentioned was the "self-fulfilling" prophesy that many homosexuals experienced. At an early age, if someone continued to tell a child they were clumsy or slow eventually that child began to believe what they were told.

The same could be said when a child was told they were a f*ggot or queer over a period of time they fulfilled that prophesy in their lives. Every parent should be very careful to not promote or condone their children taunting another child by calling them queer. The consequences are too dire to allow that behavior in children.

One thing I remembered was what Brad, former UPCI music minister who posted here, wrote he was taunted and called names as a young boy. Clearly, that would be an example of "self-fulfilling" prophesy.

There were many sobering statistics given that sadly many of the young gays aren't being told. The estimate of 30% of 20 year old male homosexuals dying of AIDS by the time they reach 30 was very sobering.

One quote that really stood out was, "Same sex attraction is driven by pain". That fact has played out time and time again and we saints need to recognize and minister to all those in pain.

Thank you for sharing the link.
