Myths and facts about homosexuality and the "homo-lobby" Ignorance is "sweet". Ignorance about homosexuality increases the tension between the two camps. Alternative media currently have a great influence. Although the hate campaign against sexual minorities seems seemingly logical and seemingly everything fits together well, in reality it stems only from great ignorance. Misleading and fanatical information from alternative media also has a strong influence on many members of the National Council of the Slovak Republic.
Myth [ [NBSP]] number 1 : same-sex marriages are a novelty of the 21st century and are an Illuminati experiment on humans. This is not true, it is neither a novelty nor an experiment, it is a matter with which we have rich historical experience. Same-sex marriages, or something similar to registered partnerships, existed long ago in pre-Christian cultures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_same-sex_unions
Myth [ [NBSP]] number 2: homosexuality is a new phenomenon that emerged only in the 21st century under pressure from the homo-lobby. Most people would prefer to send gays to a psychiatric hospital and be left alone. But history does not leave us alone. Many people still do not have even basic knowledge of the history of bisexuality. In pre-Christian Europe (and not only Europe but all non-Christianized continents) bisexual same-sex relationships were absolutely common and very frequent. Written sources describe in detail the bisexual culture in ancient Rome or Greece. Christian colonizers in America were "horrified" by the homosexual rituals of homosexual Indians. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_homosexuality

It is also interesting that Melanesia and Papua New Guinea were Christianized only 150 years ago. What is interesting, however , is that before Christianization, homosexuality was an essential part of their indigenous religious ceremonies. Christianity completely destroyed this culture "in the name of progress". It is truly remarkable that 100 years ago there was still such a large culture where bisexuality was so common. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_homosexuality#South_Pacific
Myth [ [NBSP]] number 3 : homosexuals are the cancer of society because they cannot have children
Although homosexuals certainly exist, it is strange that the existence of bisexuals is somehow forgotten, as if they did not exist. A bisexual person is able to have a child in a heterosexual relationship.
Myth number 4: Homosexuality is against nature . This opinion prevails among simple and uneducated people. However, the issue is a bit more complex. There is no scientific research to confirm this. One thing is people's opinion, another thing is science. The argument that homosexuality is against nature is mainly held by people who do not even have basic knowledge of human anatomy, and I am afraid that there would not be even one person with such an opinion who would know what the prostate actually is, what it is for, and what its significance is in medical practice, etc. The main thing is that in Slovakia, all people play doctors. The argument that homosexuals are unnatural because they do not reproduce is also misguided, because heterosexuals also use many methods of contraception during sexual intercourse (including so-called coitus interruptus).
Myth number 5: Rainbow marches are a project of evil, malicious Jews, Freemasons, and Illuminati who promote these perversions and deviations against nature. "Homoloby" is an experiment of evil Illuminati on us.
It's unbelievable that supporters of alternative media can believe such a comical opinion :D. Homosexuality is not a new invention of the American government, nor of George Soros, but we have very rich historical experience with homosexuality. In pre-Christian culture, there was something like a bisexual culture, and the percentage of men practicing homosexual acts was incomparably higher compared to the present. Alternative media do great evil when they fill people with fear, hatred, and frustration because of the rainbow march.
Myth [ [NBSP]] number 6 : the percentage of homosexuals is a maximum of 4%: so why do the perverse Western media make so much noise about the Spiritual March for a tiny 4%? The percentage of bisexuals is approximately the same as the number of homosexuals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_sexual_orientation Also, many people who do not consider themselves bisexual have certain forms of bisexual behavior. In surveys, about 10-15% of people admit that they have had some kind of same-sex experience in their lives. If surveys of same-sex attraction were done at a romantic/platonic level, the numbers could be even higher than 15%!!! https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pansexualita Also, if surveys are done asking who feels 100% heterosexual, more than 15% of people would answer that they do not feel 100% heterosexual.
Myth [ [NBSP]] number 7 : the church has fought against homosexuality throughout its history. The following misinformation exists: the church has always been against homosexuality throughout its history. In fact, this is not true, it was surprisingly only against homosexuality from the 11th century!!! It is interesting that Christians do not know their own history, or rather, even church officials and priests do not know their own history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality_in_medieval_Europe
Myth [ [NBSP]] number 8 : the entire Bible is clearly against homosexuality. Evangelical associate professor of theology and professional Hebrew expert Martin Prudký points out the poor translations of the Old Testament Bible on homosexuality. The Old Testament does not contain any mention against homosexuality.

Myth [ [NBSP]] number 9: homosexuality can be cured Homosexuality cannot be cured, as it is not a disease. Gays can get sick, if at all, from the intolerance of their surroundings. Homosexuality was considered a disease in psychiatry a very long time ago, when even masturbation was considered a disease (masturbation and homosexuality were at the same level and, if I remember correctly, were classified as paraphilias). All attempts to cure homosexuality have been unsuccessful. Due to the failure of treatment, methods bordering on torture or physical or psychological violence were also used. The treatment of homosexuals is always traumatizing, always does more harm than good, which is why the treatment of homosexuals is contrary to general and Christian ethics. Professional institutions for the treatment of homosexuals do not exist, only controversial religious fundamentalists (their organizations and "treatment centers") exist who attempt to do so.

- The most cited psychologist Sigmund Freud also compiled a well -known psychological theory of innate bisexuality , that every human being is born bisexual .
- a certain person said an interesting sentence: no heterosexual [ [NBSP]] is 100% heterosexual and no homosexual is 100% homosexual
- very interesting!: bisexuality is not unnatural. It could not be suppressed even after centuries of church dictatorship, which scared people with hell if they were not 100% heterosexual. Scientific research has shown that 50% of British youth are bisexual. I am convinced that the same research in Slovakia would turn out very similarly. The church is failing to artificially suppress and fight against [ [NBSP]] what is natural http://www.advocate.com/bisexuality/2015/08/18/study-half-british-young-adults-not-100-percent-heterosexual
An unknown and "terrifying" real historical fact: The Catholic Church used to perform marriages for homosexuals
In 1994, academic historian John Boswell published a scientific publication in which he discusses how the Catholic Church performed marriages for homosexuals in the past. No historian from academia has yet questioned Boswell's publication!!! – they only criticized some cosmetic things – this is clear proof that historian Boswell's publication is not "artificial propaganda" but a serious, objective, academic-scientific work. However, the author received an extremely strong wave of criticism from the non-scientific and religious-fanatical sphere.

Academic Professor Paul Halsall criticizes religious fanatics for attacks on historian Boswell: http://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/pwh/bosrevdisc-kennedy1.asp
It is frightening how the history of the Catholic Church is concealed, how even the faithful, priests, and church officials do not know their own history.
The fact that Boswell's publication is not just "LGBT propaganda" (as religious radicals argue) is also proven by one logical fact: from strongly bisexual Ancient Greece, it would not have been possible to eliminate homosexuality overnight after the Christianization of Greece. Otherwise, they would have had to execute, say, 80% of men, and that would not have been realistic. Therefore, it is logical that homosexuality was initially accepted in the church. The eradication of the strongly established folk tradition of homosexuality from Europe after Christianization was a long and arduous process.
