Pro-Family Group Questions Aims of “Gay Health Summit”

JEKYLL ISLAND, GA – The leader of a pro-family organization that opposes the homosexual agenda today questioned the aims of a southeastern regional “gay men’s health summit” being held this week at a resort on Jekyll Island, Georgia.

Joe Glover, President of Family Policy Network (FPN) said, “Health consequences from unnatural sex acts and self-destructive behavior are the main causes of the alarming mortality rate among homosexuals. Holding a so-called ‘gay health summit’ proves these poor souls can’t see the forest for the trees. The answer to their health problems is simple: Stop engaging in perverted sex acts that lead to an early grave.”

A story on FPN’s web site highlights the findings of a study commissioned by Oxford University that demonstrates men engaging in homosexuality by age 20 have only a fifty-seven percent chance of reaching age sixty-five. The site also documents many of the devastating health consequences of engaging in sodomy.

Glover questions the benefit of this week’s summit, since organizers are unwilling to deal with the primary health consequences of homosexuality, saying, “It’s amazing that the summit’s leaders wink and nod at deadly sex practices under the guise of promoting better health.” He continued, “Meanwhile, diseases like AIDS, anal cancer and hepatitis are all spreading as a result of anal and oral contact between same-sex partners.”

This week’s conference is being sponsored by several AIDS foundations, Abbott Laboratories, the Centers for Disease Control, Dupont Chemicals and a pro-homosexual web site.
