Here is Part Three of our interview [click HERE to listen] with Dr. Judith Reisman,  now a Visiting Professor of Law at Liberty University’s School of Law. This interview, which delves deeper into the twisted “research” of perverted pioneering sexologist Alfred Kinsey, aired June 18, 2011. Reisman’s website is www.DrJudithReisman.com; her most recent book, Sexual Sabotage, is available through WorldNetDaily (for which Judith has written extensively). Reisman’s book Kinsey: Crimes & Consequences – discussed at length in this interview — is available through Amazon.com. AFTAH President Peter LaBarbera and Reisman discuss how Indiana University’s “Kinsey Institute” should be investigated by lawmakers and government officials due to Kinsey’s now-exposed and shockingly fraudulent “science” — including his working partnership with child molesters to gather “orgasm” “data.”

"SPEED OF PRE-ADOLESCENT ORGASM" -- Table 32 from Alfred Kinsey's sick, pedophile "research" in his widely-celebrated 1948 work, "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male" (this table appears on page 178). Click on graphic to enlarge.

Part Two of my interview with Dr. Judith Reisman [click HERE to listen], who has been the chief pro-family advocate exposing the “monster” Alfred Kinsey, father of the “sexology” movement. Liberals who revere Kinsey would recoil at the term “monster” (and “pervert”), but what kind of “scientist” presides over (and participates in, according to Reisman) the time of “orgasms” of “pre-adolescents” ? (See Table 32 from Kinsey’s celebrated 1948 work, “Sexual Behavior in the Human Male.”) Reisman calls Kinsey a “pervert and a predator,” and says he fits the profile of one who was molested – based on his habit of “torturing himself” (abusing his genitalia) starting as a boy. Reisman goes on to say that Kinsey “fits the profile of a sadomasochistic pedophile … (pederast).” Reisman says that childhood sexual trauma or abuse is at the root of most cases of homosexuality: “We’re talking about very damaged folks who’ve gone through terrible experiences, and they transmit that onward.” Her latest book, “Sexual Sabotage,” and a previous book, “Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences,” are available through WorldNetDaily books. – Peter LaBarbera, www.aftah.org

CHILD MOLESTATION “DATA”: The astonishing Table 34 from “Sexual Behavior and the Human Male,” Alfred Kinsey’s 1948 book that claimed to assess America’s sexual mores even as its fraudulent findings were used to revolutionize them.

This is Part One of a four-part interview with Dr. Judith Reisman [listen HERE], who courageously has led the way in exposing the fraudulent “science” of America’s father of ”sexology,” Alfred Kinsey. This interview was pre-taped and aired on WYLL in Chicago June 4, 2011. Reisman — author of “Sexual Sabotage,” “Kinsey, Sex and Fraud,”  “Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences,” and other works — describes how a family crisis led her to start investigating the sexology/sex-education movement launched by Kinsey — whose landmark 1948 work, “Sexual Behavior and the Human Male” (co-authored with Wardell Pomeroy and Clyde Martin) contains “data” on babies and toddlers being stimulated to “orgasm” (reproduced here is the infamous “Table 34″ from page 180 of the book). Reisman discusses some of the horribly flawed methodology used by Kinsey — who himself was addicted to perversion and worked, successfully, to revolutionize America’s Judeo-Christian sexual mores.

Lada Gaga on the cover of OUT magazine. Click to enlarge.

From the homosexualist magazine OUT, September 2009, “The Lady Is a Vamp,” p. 113 (Gaga’s quotes in blue, emphasis added by AFTAH):

Her devotion to gay culture is unparalleled by any other artist operating at her level of visibility or success. “When I started in the mainstream it was the gays that lifted me up,” she says. “I committed myself to them and they committed themselves to me, and because of the gay community I’m where I am today.” Earlier this year, in her acceptance speech for her MuchMusic award for best international video, Lady Gaga thanked “God and the gays.” Before agreeing to tour with Kanye West this fall, Gaga told the rapper, “I just want to be clear before we decide to do this together: I’m gay. My music is gay. My show is gay. And I love that it’s gay. And I love my gay fans and they’re all going to be coming to our show. And it’s going to remain gay.” That’s another clause in the Gagaland constitution: Gay culture shall gush undiluted into the rapids of society. It shall not be co-opted, fancified, dolled up, or Uncle Tommed. “I very much want to inject gay culture into the mainstream,” she says, “It’s not an underground tool for me. It’s my whole life. So I always sort of joke the real motivation is to just turn the world gay.”

Lady Gaga poses naked and with a simulated bloody mouth on the cover of OUT, a homosexualist magazine. Gaga is using her pop culture power to overturn the ban on homosexuality in the Armed Forces. See article for resources for understanding the military's common-sense homosexual exclusion policy, and Lady Gaga's Senate lobbying video. Click on photo to enlarge.

TAKE ACTION NOW: Call your U.S. Senators immediately [202-224-3121; www.senate.gov] and urge them to vote against the Defense Authorization Act (SB 3454) containing an amendment repealing the military’s common-sense homosexual exclusion ban. The vote, orchestrated by Majority Leader Harry Reid,  is this afternoon. This is perhaps the most important homosexuality-related congressional vote in U.S. history. Urge support for Sen. John McCain’s filibuster of this radical change in military policy that would lead to the exodus of good men and women from the Armed Forces — and result in the persecution of chaplains and people of faith, merely because they oppose homosexual behavior or do not think homosexuality and “gay” politics belong in the military. You must let your voice be heard as homosexual groups and sexual radicals like Lady Gaga — encouraged by the liberal media — are flooding the Senate with calls in favor of allowing open homosexuals in the military.

Educate yourself on the common-sense Homosexual Exclusion Ban:

Below are resources to educate yourself on the implications of today’s vote:

• Video of Elaine Donnelly’s 2008 congressional testimony explaining the threat of repealing the military’s homosexual exclusion policy;
• Donnelly’s and the Center for Military Readiness’ explanation of the legistlative history of the current law banning homosexuals from serving due to the danger it poses to military readiness, cohesion and morale [note the discrepancy between that and Gaga's "repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell" video;
• Sen. John McCain's floor speech on the highly politicized defense authorization bill containing the repeal amendment;
• Text of the provision repealing the homosexual exclusion in defense authorization bill SB 3454; and
• Text of current homosexual exclusion law, Public Law 103-160, Section 654, Title 10, which would be repealed in a process launched by passage of SB 3454, if Sen. McCain's filibuster is not successful.

Sen. Reid Goes 'Gaga' over Homosexuals in the Military

By Peter LaBarbera

Folks, you know as well as I that the media -- and apparently Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid  -- are absolutely "ga ga" over "gays in the military." (Reid recenly 'tweeted' in support of pop mega-star Lady Gaga -- freakishly photographed nude on the cover of the "gay" magazine OUT above -- after she urged her millions of followers to lobby the Senate to support homosexuals in the military.)

This is what we're up against -- not just for today's critical vote on homosexuals in the military (commonly misnamed "Don't Ask, Don't Tell") but in trying to preserve truth for younger Americans who are, in effect, brainwashed on homosexuality. (And that is hardly an overstatement given the level of ignorance about the LGBT agenda that we're seeing, even among Christian and pro-life youths.)

Lady Gaga (real name: Stefani Germanotta), an admitted bisexual, is currently pop culture's biggest celebrator of homosexuality. She extols "gayness," androgyny and deviance in general, lives to serve her "gay" fans, and loves break down boundaries with her shocking behavior. But she also has a serious side that defenders of Judeo-Christian morality and traditional marriage need to reckon with: the Gaga video below lobbying the Senate to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" -- created just four days ago (Sept. 17) -- had 1,461,897 hits as of yesterday morning (9:00 AM Central) and 1,647,703 as of 7:12 Central this morning (Sept. 21, 2010). In contrast, a video of the excellent congressional testimony by Elaine Donnelly of the Center for Military Readiness had about 3,300 hits as of yesterday; see that 9-minute video explaining why the DADT repeal is so misguided HERE.)

Calls have been flooding in to Capitol Hill in response to Gaga's plea to her fans (she calls them "little monsters") to lobby the Senate to repeal the military homosexual ban. Of course it helps that the liberal, overwhelmingly pro-homosexual media have promoted Gaga as if she is a serious public policy analyst and not a sexually twisted pop star -- fanatically committed to homosexuality-based "rights" -- who has a penchant for wearing bizarre costumes to grab attention. (Note that Germanotta exchanged her "meat dress" for a business-type suit in producing the video to the Senate below....)

Youth are lost

The cold, hard truth is the pro-natural-family side has largely lost the younger generations on the homosexual question -- after years of pro-homosexuality indoctrination in schools and Gaga-esque saturation-bombing of pro-"gay" messages in pop culture and Hollyood. We need to find a way to get them back toward the truth -- but right now, we need to stop President Obama, Sen. Reid and the Democrats from turning the U.S. Military into a gargantuan Homosexuality-Promoting Bureaucracy -- thus leading to discrimination against chaplains and people of faith in the Armed Services and driving good men and women from serving and re-enlisting in the military. TAKE ACTION: Call your U.S. Senators immediately at 202-224-3121 (www.senate.gov).

Lady Gaga's YouTube video lobbying for the repeal of the military's homosexual exclusion law:

Go HERE for another Gaga video from a rally in Maine yesterday urging opponents of open homosexuals serving in the military to “go home.”

Homosexual icon Frank Kameny coined the slogan "Gay Is Good." Now he says bestiality -- sex with animals -- is OK ("as long as the animal doesn't mind"). Kameny, who says the God of the Bible is a "sinful , homophobic bigot" who needs to repent, has denounced AFTAH's "Truth Academy," to be held outside Chicago Aug. 5-7, 2010.

Dear AFTAH Readers,

Our upcoming Truth Academy to teach young people how to counter “gay” activist misinformation is not proving to be very popular with GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender) activists. In a letter to AFTAH, Frank Kameny, the world’s oldest and most respected (by GLBTs) homosexual activist, has denounced the Truth Academy, which will be held August 5-7 at AFTAH’s office in Carol Stream, Illinois [click HERE for more info].

Kameny is the fellow who can’t recall if he spoke at a 1981 meeting held by NAMBLA (the notorious North American Man/Boy Love Association; NAMBLA reported that he had attended). Kameny also wrote AFTAH to assert that bestiality is OK “as long as the animal doesn’t mind (and the animal rarely does).”

If Kameny is correct that we non-homosexuals have to learn only from homosexuals themselves when it comes to this culture-war issue, then I would ask him: please, teach us about the ethics of declaring the God of the Bible a “sinful, homophobic bigot” and committed Christians “Christianofascists”; or addressing a group that advocates sex between men and young boys (we might understand if you came to scold NAMBLA, but apparently you did not); and teach us about the ethics of bestiality. With regard to the latter, how exactly can a human being be sure that an animal is consenting to be his or her “sex partner”? Also, teach us why we should accept your (a)moral view that “Gay is good” and “Gay is Godly” (he wrote the latter as an admitted atheist) when that flies in the face of historic, Judeo-Christian teachings on sex and marriage.

It is a sobering thought that given his celebrated status as an icon of the proud homosexualist movement, Frank Kameny could one day be lifted up to students as an American hero and role model whose life should be studied — especially if an annual “Gay History Month” becomes a reality in schools (a perverse copy of Black History Month). As with another “gay” activist, Harvey Milk, students will learn only glamorized lessons about these LBGT icons and nothing that would undermine the homosexual activist movement.

Lastly, there was a time not too long ago when most Americans would be dumbfounded at the idea of the President of the United States proclaiming June Homosexual (“Gay”) “Pride Month.” And yet now it is expected, at least of Democratic presidents. Perhaps some day in the future — when more men and women throw off the shackles of “speciesism” and come to accept Frank Kameny’s tolerant defense of sex with animals — an American president like Obama might proclaim and celebrate “Bestiality Pride Month” (or maybe “Leather Pride Month,” or “Sexual Freedom Month,” incorporating the unrestricted sexual “liberation” symbolized by these slogans).

Cautionary warning to pro-homosexuality activists: don’t try arguing that this will never happen because these behaviors are unnatural or  “immoral.” Homosexual militants using the euphemistic “gay” label led the way in destroying commonly accepted notions of normality — and any idea of a transcendent, absolute (divine) moral code that should guide people’s sexual conduct and inform American law. They least of anybody should attempt to lecture others about what is moral and what is not.  — Peter LaBarbera, www.aftah.org

You do not have any “experts” on homosexuality.

We gays, and we gays ALONE, are THE authorities and experts — the SOLE
experts and authorities— on ourselves as gay people, and on our
homosexuality.  You non-gays have nothing of use, value, or worth to
offer on these subjects.

So if you are wise (and clearly you are not), on these subjects you will
close your mouths, open your ears, switch on such brains as you may
have, and listen to us and learn.

Folks, there is no shortage of sinful pride and presumption among “gay” activists and their allies, that’s for sure.  How appropriate is this coming from the hero of a movement that redefines changeable sexual sin as a “civil right”? — Peter LaBarbera, www.americansfortruth.com

Frank Kameny, a “pioneering” homosexual activist celebrated by fellow homosexuals the world over — and honored by President Obama and his administration — says the God of the Bible is a “sinful homophobic bigot” who needs to “repent of his sinful homophobia.”

The octogenarian Kameny (born in 1925) made the assertions about the Judeo-Christian God in a letter to Peter LaBarbera of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality, October 13, 2009:

“Your God of Leviticus (and of the whole Bible) is clearly a sinful homophobic bigot.  He should repent of his sinful homophobia.  He should atone for that sin,  And he should seek forgiveness for the pain and suffering which his sinful homophobia has needlessly inflicted upon gay people for the past 4000 years.” wrote Kameny to LaBarbera. “It is not homosexuality which is always wrong, immoral, and sinful.   It is homophobia, including the homophobia of your god himself which is wrong, immoral, and sinful.  And so your god is a sinner….”

An astronomer who was fired from his federal government job in 1957 due to his homosexuality, Kameny led the first public homosexual protest in America (over his firing), in 1965. Kameny, who gained notoriety with his aggressive, counter-cultural slogan “Gay is Good,” was a leader of the organized homosexual activist campaign to pressure the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from the list of mental disorders (which succeeded when the APA capitulated in 1973). He says that he is an atheist but curiously also claims that “Gay is Godly”; he now adds “for those who so believe” to the latter slogan after being questioned as to how someone who rejects God could make definitive statements about Him.

On June 17, 2009, Kameny received the official White House pen from President Obama in a White House signing ceremony enacting Obama’s executive order providing domestic partner benefits for certain federal employees. The ceremony was intended to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York City that homosexual and transgender activists claim were the catalyst for the modern “gay rights” movement.

Later, at a June 29 White House speech honoring “gay pride month,” President Obama praised Kameny with the following words:

[Describing the history of the homosexual rights movement:] “That’s the story of a civil rights pioneer who’s here today, Frank Kameny, who was fired — [applause] Frank [Kameny] was fired from his job as an astronomer for the federal government simply because he was gay. And in 1965, he led a protest outside the White House, which was at the time both an act of conscience but also an act of extraordinary courage. And so we are proud of you, Frank, and we are grateful to you for your leadership. [Applause.]

Kameny was also honored by John Berry, Obama’s openly homosexual Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), in a special ceremony June 24, 2009 sponsored by the OPM “gay” employees organization. There, Kameny received the Theodore Roosevelt Award, the OPM’s highest honor, “For More Than a Half-Century of Leadership in the Struggle for Civil Rights.” Berry also issued a formal U.S. government apology to Kameny for his firing over 50 years ago.

Responding to Kameny’s letter asserting that God needs to repent, AFTAH’s LaBarbera said:

“Of course Frank Kameny’s outrageous statements about God are completely backwards: it is Frank who is the stubborn sinner who needs to repent. Thankfully, it is never too late for sinners to turn away from their sins and humbly accept God’s forgiveness through Jesus Christ. However, in one sense at least Kameny is forthright about how his homosexuality-celebrating ideology stands diametrically opposed to God’s plan for mankind, as revealed in the Bible. Unfortunately for Frank, he has no authority to judge sin and morality; that is the province of Almighty God alone.”

The following e-mail letter was sent by Kameny to Americans For Truth on October 13, 2009. Various typos in the original letter have been corrected:

Peter [LaBarbera]

You have the whole issue of sin, vis a vis homosexuality, “on the wrong foot”.  It is your homophobic God of Leviticus (and of the Bible as a whole)  himself (herself? itself? themselves?) who is the sinner because of that homophobia.

Bigotry is sinful, whether it be racism, anti-Semitism, or homophobia.

Your God of Leviticus (and of the whole Bible) is clearly a sinful homophobic bigot.  He should repent of his sinful homophobia.  He should atone for that sin,  And he should seek forgiveness for the pain and suffering which his sinful homophobia has needlessly inflicted upon gay people for the past 4,000 years.

It is not homosexuality which is always wrong, immoral, and sinful.   It is homophobia, including the homophobia of your god himself which is wrong, immoral, and sinful.  And so your god is a sinner, on this account (I deal with no other issue here)..

Your claim that advancement of the gay agenda would deprive you people of your religious and other rights is flatly untrue.  If you disapprove of homosexuality, you will remain free to abstain from involvement with it.  That is the proper limit of your freedoms.  You do not have a valid right to impose your disapproval upon those of us who disagree with you, as you people endlessly seek to do.  Those whose beliefs in a round earth prevail do not in the least deprive the Flat Earthers of their rights to believe and speak as they wish.  So with gay rights and you homophobes.  You can continue freely to make intellectual and rational fools of yourselves, just as the Flat Earthers continue to do. — and, in your case, un-American and anti-American ones as well.

Gay is Good, Godly (for those who so believe), and American.  You homophobes are not.

Father of ‘Gay Rights’ Dies; Media Ignore NAMBLA Connection

Harry Hay Was Sexualized Early, Defended Pedophiles to the End

By Peter J. LaBarbera, CWA, 10-30-2002

In noting the passing of Harry Hay — the man who first organized homosexuals as a political minority — no mainstream media outlets reported that Hay was an advocate of pedophile rights and the notorious group NAMBLA.

NAMBLA is the North American Man/Boy Love Association, a group that advocates for the legalization of sex between men and boys, and an end to all “age of consent” laws.

Hay, who died on October 24, at age 90, formed the first American homosexual activist group, the Mattachine Society, in 1950. He conceived of the idea of organizing homosexuals at a time when most were afraid to even be discovered as such. Hay was also a committed Communist who married to hide his homosexuality so that he could join the Party.

He went on to found The Radical Faeries, a shamanistic spirituality movement for homosexual men. “Gay pride” parades frequently include local contingents of “Faeries” — semi-naked men prancing and dancing in variations of Native American rituals.

Hay strongly opposed the notion that “gays” should assimilate into larger “straight” culture. Thus, in the eighties and nineties, when homosexual activists began banning NAMBLA from “gay pride” parades to clean up their public image, he and other “gay” liberationists were outraged.

In 1994, Hay, then in his eighties, was among the signers of a “Spirit of Stonewall” proclamation that argued that efforts to ban NAMBLA from the New York “pride” parade violated the spirit of the original Stonewall “rebellion,” which is revered by homosexual activists as the spark of the modern “gay rights” movement. (In 1969, homosexuals and others then regarded as deviants rioted in response to a police crackdown of the Stonewall Inn in New York City.)

The Spirit of Stonewall (SOS) declaration read in part:

Stonewall was the spontaneous action of marginal people oppressed by the mainstream — of teenaged drag queens, pederasts, transsexuals, hustlers, and others despised by respectable straights and “discreet” homosexuals. …

SOS is an ad hoc committee of lesbian, gay and other individuals and groups formed to bring Stonewall 25 [celebrating the 25th anniversary of the riots] back to the principles of gay liberation. We focus on one of the most glaring departures from those principles: the attempt to exclude [NAMBLA] . …

NAMBLA’s record as a responsible gay organization is well known. NAMBLA was spawned by the gay community and has been in every major gay and lesbian march. … NAMBLA’s call for the abolition of age of consent is not the issue. NAMBLA is a bona fide participant in the gay and lesbian movement. NAMBLA deserves strong support in its rights of free speech and association and its members’ protection from discrimination and bashing.

In 1986, Hay’s pro-NAMBLA activism had a role in what became known in homosexual circles as the “Harry Hay incident.” As part of a protest against the Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade, Hay taunted organizers for excluding the North American Man/Boy Love Association by wearing a sandwich board that read, “NAMBLA Walks with Me.” This event is chronicled by Hay’s biographer, homosexual writer Stuart Timmons, in The Trouble with Harry Hay: Founder of the Modern Gay Movement. The book includes a photo of Hay in the NAMBLA sandwich board.

More recently, Hay wrote an essay for the pederasty magazine GAYME, according to a “queer” magazine Web site. GAYME is a magazine for men who are sexually “into boys,” according to one Web reviewer. It is produced by former NAMBLA Bulletin editor Bill Andriette.

Timmons’ sympathetic biography of Hay reveals that he had his first homosexual sexual encounter at age nine, with another boy. At age 14, in a grove of trees, he “discovered his first [homosexual] lovemaking” with a 25-year-old sailor named Matt. Hay refused to describe the experience as “molestation,” according to Timmons, “to make the point of how sharply gay life differs from homosexual norms.” The account continues:

“As a child,” [Hay] explained, “I molested an adult until I found out what I needed to know.” … Far from being an experience of “molestation,” Harry always described it as “the most beautiful gift that a fourteen-year-old ever got from his first love!”

A Nexis database search of Harry Hay obits in over 30 print news outlets — including The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, Associated Press and Time Magazine — turned up no mention of his pro-NAMBLA advocacy.
