Are there any orthodox Catholic organizations in the US that address homosexuality schools in the correct manner?

Hello everyone. First of all, we know that the Church teaches that homosexual persons should not be unjustly discriminated against. In other words, they have the same right to the things they need like heterosexuals do, things like: food, water, a home, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, etc. However, this does not mean that they have a right to things like marriage because God designed marriage to be for 1 man and 1 woman only.

But here’s the problem, all of the organizations out there that help children in school or college that identify as homosexual tend to have a liberal agenda. In other words, sure, they try to make sure that homosexuals are not unjustly discriminated against but they also go much further than that. I have heard of some organizations that actually teach children who identify as homosexual how to have “safe” homosexual unchaste acts. Many of these organizations will also teach children who identify as homosexual that it is perfectly fine to be attracted to the same sex when in fact, it is objectively disordered to be attracted to the same sex. Therefore, if a preteen tells someone in one of these groups that he/she is attracted to the same sex, the people in these liberal pro-homosexual organizations will tell the preteen that it is perfectly normal to be attracted to the same sex when in actuality, it is not normal at all. What we need is to have a Catholic organization out there helping the preteen to realize that what he/she may be going through is just a phase and that even if it is permanent, they not act on their temptations. We need someone out there to teach them the Truth, not lies like “It is perfectly normal to be attracted to the same sex.”, “This person has two daddies or mommies and that is just fine.”, “You can do whatever you want with your (same-sex) partner in their bedroom so long as you play it safe!”, etc etc etc.

But anyway, I will stop there. I don’t want to go on and on. My point is that all of the homosexual advocacy programs I know of out there are very liberal in nature and don’t teach the Truth about homosexuality. My point is that we need some Catholic (or other Christian or other organizations) out there that are there to help those suffering from same-sex or homosexual tendencies to learn that they need to be chaste, to help them learn the truth about marriage, etc etc etc. We do not need these liberal homosexual advocacy programs out there that teach lies to the children and others suffering from same-sex temptations or homosexual thoughts.

So, are there any orthodox Catholic or other Christian organizations out there that offer true hope to those suffering from same-sex attraction or homosexuality rather than these liberal organizations that only offer lies (whether they realize it or not, they are offering lies)? If there are, that would be great. Let’s give homosexuals some true hope, not lies that will hurt them in the long run. 👍

👍 I agree, and I’m curious about this too. I think when this particular issue is addressed people default to trying to be politically correct and usually point to the aweful effects of “reformation therapy” that some put their children through (which include physical abuse, mental abuse, and emotional abuse as tactics to “reform” homosexuals). Are there any ligitimately concerned organizations available that don’t use either extreme?

I would also like to know this. The only Catholic organization I know of that works with homosexuals is Courage Apostolate which you can find here:

couragerc.net/

Courage Apostolate is a truly orthodox Catholic organization that seeks to help those suffering from same sex temptation or homosexuality. I am not sure if they help preteens and teens though. I will try to find out. 🙂
 
There is a Youth Site at that link, but it says “under construction”…I’m going to keep an eye on it and see what they have to offer, thanks for posting it 🙂

afternote: I just noticed a group of links that offer related websites, one is to the organization NARTH. The main video is a man talking about “reparative therapy”, but from what he’s explaining it doesn’t involve the abuses mentioned by gay-advocates.

You’re welcome. As for NARTH, I really don’t know hardly a thing about it and I really hope that no one comes in here and causes a debate (I did not intend this to be a debate thread) but from what little I have read on their site, it does seem like it is probably a better organization that helps homosexuals and those with same-sex tendencies than other organizations offering any sort of “therapy”. The only kind of therapy I have ever heard of that is directed at homosexuals is the type of therapy that attempts to change the homosexual from a homosexual into a heterosexual. Whether or not it is possible to do that in an ethical manner, I have no clue.
