But if you want to see where radical environmentalism–the kind that honors the planet by wishing a lot of people would get off it–can lead us, check out the Optimum Population Trust (OPT). The OPT is a British group concerned about “the effects of overpopulation on a plundered planet.” They argue that the United Kingdom’s optimum population is less than 30 million (not even half its current size) and possibly lower than 17 million. Likewise, good old planet earth could possibly sustain five billion people, but a safer number is around three billion, also less than half our current population.

The “leading think tank in the UK concerned with the impact of population growth on the evironment” is not a fringe group. The goal of the Trust is to see a smaller, more sustainable population on our planet. Un joven homosexual encabeza el movimiento en Francia contra el matrimonio gay.

Should children and incompetent persons be euthanized in Belgium?

The AFP article that is titled: Belgium debates euthanasia for minors stated that: Belgian legislators opened a debate Wednesday on whether to amend a decade-old law on euthanasia to cover minors, being told by experts that it was already taking place in practice without any set guidelines. Currently, the law applies to those over 18 but one expert told the upper house of parliament that it was clear that euthanasia was being carried out on younger people, the Belga news agency reported.

Sex Without Bodies

Walker / Denver Post / Getty Even as our culture has swiftly moved toward accepting same-sex marriage, the term "homosexual" has already disappeared among those who have taken the time to listen and learn from gay and lesbian neighbors and friends. For good reasons, the preferred language among those neighbors has become "LGBT"—"Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered" (or "Transsexual"). We should welcome this shift, because it actually helps clarify the multiple sexualities whose representatives have banded together to seek legal recognition and relief from stigma and shame.

Indeed, the initialism LGBT is increasingly augmented by references to Queer (or Questioning) and Asexual persons—thus including those who find their sexuality ill-defined by the existing heterosexual or homosexual categories. The proliferation of initials signals the formation of a powerful coalition. Begin just with those who identify as lesbian and as gay.

UPDATE 4/4/13: After being contacted by a representative for Jackie Speier, we were “strongly urge[d]” to edit the content in this piece, and we have made adjustments accordingly. More info to follow. Comments will remain closed. California Congresswoman, Rep. Jackie Speier CA (D), wants to federalize a state law to prohibit counseling to change a person’s sexual orientation. Under the bill’s language, a mental health counselor could be sanctioned if there was an attempt to get a gay individual to change his or her behavior or speak negatively about their behavior as it relates to sexuality.

The bill calls on states to prohibit efforts to change a minor’s sexual orientation, even if the minor requests it, saying that doing so is “dangerous and harmful.” The text of the legislation doesn’t specifically ban “gay” conversion therapy.
