The Centers for Disease Control, the official health arm of the >federal government, used the word [homophobia] for the first time last month >with an implied definition that would please the most radical members of the >gay community. Dr. Paul Cameron, the psychologist who heads the Family >Research Institute in Colorado Springs, stumbled upon this passage in the >CDC's 'Morbidity and Mortality Report' for the week of January 14. On page >10 of this publication, under the heading 'HIV/AIDS Among Racial/Minority >Men Who Have Sex With Men,' we have this revelation: > > " 'Race/ethnicity itself is not a risk factor for HIV infection. However, >among racial/ethic minority MSM [men who have sex with men] social and >economic factors, such as homophobia, high rates of poverty and >unemployment, and lack of access to health care, are associated with high >rates of HIV risk behavior.' > > "The definition of homophobia, as it is used here, came farther down in >the passage: 'Within racial/ethnic minority communities, the stigma attached >to acknowledging homosexual and bisexual activity may inhibit racial/ethic >minority MSM from identifying themselves as homosexual or bisexual and they >may be more likely to identify with their racial/ethnic minority community >than with the MSM community.' > > "When you put these two paragraphs together, you have the complete picture >the CDC is presenting here: Those with homophobia do not accept >homosexuality. Homophobic people, therefore, present a health risk. This is >not the first time this term has been used or implied by a federal agency. >During the seven years of the Clinton administration, we have seen it pop up >now and then, but this is the first time it has been used by the Centers for >Disease Control, which has dictatorial powers on life and death matters. . . >. Robert H. Knight, director of Cultural Studies at the Family Research >Council, in Washington, D.C., believes the problem is twofold: 'If >conservatives don't pick up on this assertion that homophobia is a private >and public health problem, churches could lose their tax-exempt status, >religious broadcasters could lose their licenses. The CDC also is paving the >way for making mere opposition to homosexuality to be deemed a hate crime'." > > Chastain quoted Dr. Jeffrey Satinover, a psychiatrist, as explaining: >"What the CDC is trying to do is characterize anyone who has an objection to >homosexuality as disturbed and a public health threat." > > <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
