The advertisement below, inserted by THE COALITION OF CONCERNED CHRISTIANS does not include, as was originally intended, the names of people who have subscribed to its message and publication. Because of possible misunderstandings over the identity of the names listed, and because of the risk of confusion with people of similar names and initials, "The Press" resolved against the publication of names. This decision was taken after the advertisement was prepared and when it was no longer practicable to arrange more certain identification of the subscribers to the advertisement. "The Press" does not question the authenticity of names supplied by the promoters of the advertisement. To avoid embarrassment for the promoters of such advertisements, and to avoid concern among people not connected with such advertisements, new rules are being formulated to alleviate confusion of identity.

The Human - fl Rights Commission considered that under that Act, homosexuality does not constitute a status warranting protection as a human right, and I rejected the idea that discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation should be prohlbitied by law. So should Parliament. This however is fl Signature Address B now part of the HSLR Bill. ■ _fl 4 HOMOSEXUALITY IN OUR EDUCATION “ fl Some Homosexuals with the support of misinformed reformers want to educate our children In their ways. Take for example the recently fl ■ published Family Planning Association sex education kit published for use in schools which promotes homosexual practices. a fl "If a person decides to have a sexual relationship with another there are still alternatives to intercourse. A couple of the opposite sex may I - decide to use manual stimulation or to have oral sex ... If one decides to have a sexual relation with a person of the same sex then there is fl B no need for birth control.” ! fl Homosexual literature already provided at some schools seeks to put pupils in touch with the homosexual community. Homosexual speakers fl ■ have already been invited to speak to pupils at some schools. g — ,fl 5 HOMOSEXUAL LAW REFORM IS AIMED AT THE YOUNG ■ fl Homosexuals themselves claim that 88% of homosexuals become sexually active before the age of 20, and 70% before 18. At the very age when I a person’s sexual identity is being established, children will be at risk from homosexuals persuading them to their way of life. The Bill allows fl fl sodomy (anal Intercourse) with boys and girls between 12 and 16, provided the child consents and the sodomiser either is younger than the ! ■ child, or Is under 21 and believes the child to be 16. This could effectively legalise sodomy between consenting males aged 12-21. fl " Because homosexuals do not reproduce, homosexuality is predominantly perpetuated through recruitment. Again, the predominant target is the a fl young. ■ 6 FAMILY THREATENED I a The family unit will be directly threatened by an increase In homosexuality. Parliament has a responsibility to protect public morality. fl I Homosexual and lesbian couples could demand equal rights to "marriage” and the adoption and fostering of children. They could then demand ■ ~ fl that these "families" have financial assistance such as Family Benefit, childcare, State housing and tax allowances. Homosexual prostitution will fl ■ be legalised, and will ffou'rlsh. ■ fl ' There would be a flood of homosexual and lesbian pornography. Up until now, the Indecent Publications' Tribunal has banned homosexual I ■ pornography on the grounds that homosexuality is illegal. fl • 7 HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT NORMAL AND HAS NO LOGICAL BASIS fl ~ T I Simple consideration of the human anatomy and reproductive organs clearly shows they were designed for heterosexual intercourse. To use ? ' fl other entrances of the body for sexual purposes can never be classed as "normal" because this is not their design function.

This is obvious in nature when man gg g g spoils the environment. This Is no less true of social behaviour. History confirms that open homosexuality precedes the decline and fall of even w great nations. The Bible unequivocally tells us that homosexual practices are not acceptable. They are wrong because God says so and because they prejudice the social, moral and physical health of our Society.
