No data have pointed to any risk to children as a result of growing up in a family with one or more gay parents.[/quote] [quote]Homosexuality is defined as the sexual and emotional attraction to members of the same sex, and has existed in most societies for as long as sexual beliefs and practices have been recorded.[/quote] [quote]6. The AMA Position 6.1 The AMA believes that a doctor?s non-judgmental acknowledgment of a patient?s sexual orientation, gender identity and behaviour enhances clinical care. 6.2 The AMA reaffirms its belief in equity of access to health care for all Australians. 6.3 The AMA acknowledges that a doctor?s use of language that assumes an individual to be heterosexual makes it harder for a person to disclose their sexuality. 6.4 The AMA is supportive of interventions that prevent the development of homophobia, as this will improve the health of all Australians. 6.5 The AMA recognises medicine is a diverse profession and is supportive of equal opportunity policies, which stress that GLBTI people receive the same protection as others in areas such as recruitment, promotion, training, transfer, terms and conditions of service and dismissal. 6.6 The AMA is supportive of legislation that proscribes discrimination and provides legislative recognition of same-sex unions and families as this will lead to legal, societal, financial and healthcare equity within the community. 6.7 The AMA believes that medical education curriculum should include subjects addressing issues of sexuality and gender identity. This should include information on the coming out process, education regarding discrimination, health needs of GLBTI subgroups and information about referral networks. This should start in medical school and be a part of continuing medical education at all levels. 6.8 The AMA believes that acknowledgment of same-sex partners is important in medical decision making and that these partners should be afforded the same next of kin status as their heterosexual counterparts. 6.9 The AMA is supportive of research and education that addresses the specific health needs of the GLBTI population. 6.10 The AMA opposes the use of "reparative" or "conversion" therapy that is based upon the assumption that homosexuality is a mental disorder and that the patient should change his or her sexual orientation. [/quote] As far as this article supporting what you had to say before - it does not. Yes, there are some inreased probabilities of mental health related issues - [b]primarliy as a result of people like you spewing the kind of hateful garbage as you have done here[/b]. That is a far cry from homosexuals all being depressed alcoholics... :rolleyes: [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/163]DL-44[/url] on 08-07-2006 20:33)[/small] Loading...
