Cities throughout the world have been holding gay pride parades this summer to celebrate the lifestyle of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The primary goal in holding gay parades is to acquire a powerful psychological weapon to change society’s rejection of homosexual activity and lifestyle into gradual, even if reluctant, acceptance.
Homosexuality, however, is abnormal, immoral and anti-life. It is not innate as some believe. Sexual orientation is a matter of self-affirmation and public declaration.
Scientific studies have proven that homosexuality is also linked to pedophilia. For example, a 1988 study of 229 convicted child molesters published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour found that 86% of paedophiles described themselves as homosexual or bisexual.
Dr. Michelle Cretella, a board member of the American College of Pediatricians, also concluded from multiple studies that children reared by gay couples have gender confusion and are put at high risk for sexually transmitted diseases.
Cretella noted that homosexually behaving teens and young adults suffer increased rates of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addictions and suicidal thoughts. In addition, boys who adopt a homosexual lifestyle because of the influence of their same-sex parents face a 30% chance of being dead or HIV-positive by the age of 30.
At the core we are dealing here, not with loving couples but with homosexuality and the destruction of the family unit – the fundamental cell of society.
Gay parades are about the celebration of unbridled lust. One hopes that future public displays of decadent debauchery and sexual permissiveness will not be tolerated.
With respectful and cordial best wishes, I remain,
Sincerely yours,
Paul Kokoski.

At last somebody is speaking out against the gay parades. The purpose of these parades is mainly political. It is their way showing their elected officials that they represent a large number of votes and have significant clout at the polls. The way they do this is totally dishonest. (a) The local people who attend a gay parade form only a small percentage of those present. Those who are sympathetic to the gay cause come from long distances – many from out of the state or province – and some from out of the country – to create a false impression. Many of these are not homosexuals in the strictest sense of the word. Some are bi, some are trans-dressers, some are people with gay family members or friends who wish to show solidarity. Many are students who are at a time in their lives when they think it is expedient to appear as broad minded as possible. Others are simply curious. But the fact is coming from outside the politicl boundaries a large percentage of them do not honestly represent the electorate. (b) The gay organizers of the parades lie about the numbers who attend. They have been known to tell the public that a parade was attended by twice the number that actually attended. We know this because the police in some places use a scientific method of estimating the number of people in a large crowd and have told us the figures given by the organizers were away out. (c) The gay parades are lewd and vulgar. Men in the parades do thing no normal hetrosexual men would do in public. They do things they should be arrested for. But the police – probably on the orders of their political overlords – turn a blind eye. (d) The parades are self defeating. On one hand homosexuals want us to believe they are normal and their lifestyle is a normal alternative to hetrosexuality. On the other hand they march in parades that are the grossest demonstrations of weirdness one could imagine. A man dressed in a bikini and fishnet stockings is leading another man down the street on a leash. A float goes by with a man in leather flogging another man on his knees with with a whip. All this to prove that homo is equal to hetro and same sex is an normal healthy alternative! The parades are just one more example of the fact that homosexuals have everything pertaining to sex out of context and stretched beyond all logic – just like their sexuality itself. The parades are symptomatic of the pathology that is homosexuality. They are the expression of a collective sick mind. I agree with Paul Kokoski. They should be stopped. Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Pentecostal Evangelist. http://www.livinghopeministries.ca
Does this picture suggest to you that homosexuality is normal?
Would you expect to see a picture like this of a man and a woman?
Is this a picture of a couple in a caring, committed relationship?
There is about as much romance and love there as you would find among two dogs in an ally!
A man sits in a gay bar hoping to make eye contact with another. Eventually it happens!
A nod of the head or the flick of a wrist and they meet in the washroom for a few minutes of private time.
If they passed on the street two weeks later they may not recognize each other.
Always searching. Never finding. It is an empty and tormented life.
But standing in the shadows is One with nail prints in His hands. He is waiting for them to simply say “I surrender” and receive the gift of eternal life.
He says “…I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
S
I am still trying to understand the churchgoers who promote tolerance of the gay lefestyle !
YOU CANNOT BE GOOD AND BAD ALL AT ONCE !
People attend church for many different reasons.
Those who attend church and are tolerant of homosexuality do not (a) know he Bible OR they do not (b) care what it says.
If it is (b) they are people who are only church attenders. They are not Christians – they are not born again believers in Christ – and do not know the Lord.
However, those who have been born again by personally receiving Jesus Christ as their Savior will choose to attend a Bible believing gospel preaching church where the Bible is taken seriously and where people worship in Spirit and in truth.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. International Evangelist.
Gee:
Thank you!
The problem with “church goers” who promote homosexuality is that they are only church goers. People go to church for various and many reasons.
Some go for business reasons.
Some go for political reasons.
Some go to please parents, wife or husband, or family members.
Some go to make or meet friends.
Some like the music or the sermon because it gives them food for thought, etc.
However, those who promote homosexuality are not people who have had a personal encounter with Christ. They are not “born again”. They are still in nature’s darkness.
Before somebody says “Who are you to judge?” allow to me answer that. I AM NOT JUDGING
I am simply telling you what GOD Himself says. “To the law and to the testimony! If they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light in them.” (Isaiah 8:20)
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. International Evangelist.
sin is sin each one will account for their own…………..
All sin is sin.
Each person will give account for his or her own sin.
So why would anybody encourage another person to commit a sin? Do you want them to have more sins to give an account to God for?
Stupid statements like “To each his own”, “Live and let live”,
“Homosexuality is not the only sin”, “It is nobody’s business what other people do in the bedroom”, and “They are not hurting anybody” are intended to diminish the sinfulness of
homosexuality and lessen the guilt feelings of those who commit this unnatural act.
All sin needs to be confessed and forsaken. We have had to put the spotlight of God’s Word on homosexuality because :
(1) It is a sin against nature. (Romans 1:26,27)
(2) It is a sin that strikes at the model or blueprint God gave us for marriage. (Matthew 19:4-6) Other sins such as fornication and adultery harm marriages but they do not challenge the definition a
(3)
Sorry, my computer malfunctioned.
Other sins such as fornication and adultery harm marriages but they do not challenge the definition and constitution of marriage.
(3) Nobody is fighting to have these other sins made respectable . Can you imagine people have a “pride parade” to show off and promote fornication or adultery? Nobody is saying that those who oppose fornication and adultery are phobic, hateful, bias, or discriminating.
(4) The gays themselves have made homosexuality an issue by bringing it into the political arena. This has made a response from the church necessary.
Christians are citizens, tax payers, and voters. Politicians know we will vote for the candidates who share values. They want to know where we stand.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. International Evangelist.
why are we talkin like we dotn knwo what is going on am a lesbain woman for pass five years and i wil never love a man again but i can tel u that there are alot of woman going to church married playin saint that sendin me text tell me how they would liek to try it out and they in church with their hands up singin soem of us livin the life in secret which onei s worst wel am livin it for al to see god is the only one i have to hide from and he knwo my heart
that men dotn turn me on after my husband had sex with my daughter i can never love a man again
Sandra: Thanks for your letter. You do have my sympathy. Your husband was a bad man. Catching him violating your precious little girl is enough to turn you off on men. But Sandra, here is somehing I would like you to think about. Obviously, you were not born a lesbian. In fact nobody is born a homosexual even though with some people it begins very early. There are many other women who have been hurt by men and have turned to the gay life. You must realize that not all men are like your husband. Homosexuality is not the answer. God says it is a sin. Please get a Bible and read Romans 1:21-32. Sandra, what you need now is to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour according to John1:12 and Revelation 3:20. Let the lord give you a deep inner healing and renew your mind. If you have already received Christ all you need to do is confess your sins according to 1 John 1:9 and rededicate your life to Him. I invite you to visit my website at http://www.livinghopeministries.ca and click onto the EAGLE COURSE. It can be studied from the screen or printed absolutely free. People around the world are taking this course and finding what they need to start over. Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Pentecostal Evangelist.
Once the church in this wonderful land gets it’s nose out of politics then the country will progress.
What people do behind their doors is their business. In the past the so called “gay cruises” have been the largest moneymakers for all who worked with them here. The church wanted them banned from calling, yet all tours morning and afternoon, and many private operators are fully booked.
What makes you think someone is going to go chasing you or your child. they are normal people happy in who they are and with their partner, male or female. Who is it currently being prosecuted almost world wide for child molestation? Surely not “Adam and Steve” as some ignorants’ would say, but the church.
Pull your heads out of the sand, live and let live, and rather than making idle comment to show your general ignorance, think on how to address the problem of HIV/AIDS and other STDs here.
Nudibranch:
You imply that the church should get its nose out of politics.
For nearly 2,000 years the church through its bishops, pastors, and evangelists has advised emperors, kings, and prime ministers by calling to their attention what the Holy Scriptures say about the moral issue of the day, and how this should bear upon the laws that are made. For centuries the crowned heads of Europe were influenced by the popes. It is no secret that a number of American presidents have consulted with Dr. Billy Graham, and I know of one who saw a prominent pastor for counseling.
Not only is it permissible for a church leader to share his knowledge with a ruler of state encouraging him to let the laws of he land reflect the commandments of God. It is what he is trained to do. He must and he will.
You have mentioned the molestation of children. Let me bring few facts to your attention.
The majority of Roman Catholic priests are straight men. But it is the smaller percentage of gay priests that have created the scandals world wide that have brought parishes to the brink of ruin and cost the church millions upon millions of dollars by molesting little boys and young men.
In 1992 in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy it was reported that “homosexual men are three times more likely to engage in paedophilia (sex with children).”
Dr. Richard Fitzgibbons – American psychiatrist – stated “Every priest whom I have treated who was involved with children had previously been involved in adult homosexual relationships.”
Alfred Kinsey ‘s research in 1948 revealed that 37% of gay men admitted to having sex with children.
Homosexuality is a very serious problem. To try to make it appear less evil than it is will not help those who are trapped in this dreadful bondage. In telling people the truth
we should also share the good news. If they surrender to Jesus Christ they can be forgiven by God and set free by His power.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Executive Director of Living Hope Ministries. http://www.livinghopeministries.ca
When people hear GAY, man and man alone they thinking and talking about,what about the woman and woman?
IT’S as if they like to see woman and woman but they don’t like to see man and man.
A nurse once said at a seminar that there are alot of married men that are burgering.When they come to donate blood and questions are being asked to them,you get to know alot about there sexual history.
So all those married woman that think they have a little lover Husband,he may well be talking his man behind her back!
Hello my fellow Dominicans, god did not create Adam and Steve, he created Adam and eve.
Gays should be placed in a drum of gasoline, and you know what.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!May god bless our people
@poosky: u pple r really crazy n foolish u mean to tell me this is wat u defending on here, all sisn is not sin get wise black pple
@NEW YORK: stop talkin nonsense
@Ms Marigot.: there r greater sins than others, if i lie to u and if i kill u which is greater, stop bein foolish n think for urself, murder n a lie is 2 different, i cud get forgivness for lyin but not for murdering an innocent person, kill all gays, fyah bun sadom n gomorah
Seriously everyone… What do you expect… This is a 3rd world country with 70,000…. maybe .5% of that 70,000 are educated. The island is rampant with drugs and promiscuity. Let them have their opinion. Its no different then letting monkeys live their natural lives….
I am just reading all the comment made, It is surprising to me what people believe. It is not ok for a man and woman,nor is it for man and man or woman and woman. People support what sin they want to condone. There are men sleeping with other women In Dominica. It was being done as i was growing- up . A man would have a wife and making children with another woman down the street.
and this is more prevant in Dominica I dont see any one adressing this issue. Because this is a way of life for them. They believe in sleeping with a man just to get help in their garden. Then have a child. Well we all have sin, no sin is greater that the other. We all need to go to God . My mother have 7 children never married and not all by one man either more than 5. So we all need to stop. We al need to get right
@Mabouche: @ DNO’s response to Mabouche…DNO i expected your staff to be the better person(s) and rise above those silly comments. That last sentence was TOTALLY uncalled for.
and then we wonder why this world going straight to hell, is nonsense like this gay stupidness. yes all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, but we hate wen men and women commit adultery but we’re ready to give these self-made-gay-people a freaky award for something God destoryed two cities over. go ahead and continue with allu nonsense, I just pray Jesus take me out of this world before he destory it
regardless of the sins that other people commit, it doesnt make homosexuality right in the eyes of God. the last time i checked u could still go to jail for lying in court and committing murder. Dominica is a God fearing nation as we so often put it and repealing the buggery laws here is a clear indication of us turning away from God. The bible says in the end of days there will be alot of turmoil on this earth, and many will fall away from Christianity. Homosexuality is not his will and it can therefore be said that many in the world have already started. l have one gay friend. And while i dont agree with that lifestyle, I accept the fact that it is his decision, his life, and he is living the way that he wants to. We can learn to accept people for who they are, I just dont think we should encourage it by allowing them to have parades or adopt children.
As an educated young man from Dominica who resides in NYC for almost 25 years I can say a lot about this article. I can present all the statistics and facts from all the verses in the “Holy Bible”; I can present all the statistics and facts from the Center of Disease Control (CDC) about HIV/AIDS and other STDS, I can present all the scientific facts and other facts about the Gay Life and more. I will not do this for the following reasons:
(1) It looks like some of my Dominica people including the writer of this article is not ready to accept the truth and the facts.
(2) The time that is being wasted about the very contented and Happy Gay People or Homosexual People outside Dominica world, are advanced and a more developed world than Dominica when ninety percent (90%) or more of Dominica income comes from overseas. These people have all the care they need for HIV/AIDS. Do not forget other STDS for those who don’t know that is Sexually Transmitted Diseases besides HIV/AIDS all are not only from people being homosexual let me repeat HIV/AIDS and other STDS are not only from gays or what you want to call the people. It is the Gay disease until it shows up in your own family.
(3) The Gay or whatever you may choose to label them is a very strong, vibrant, loving, caring, and powerful community outside of Dominica. They take care of each other in education, economics, spiritually yes spiritually and health. They make sure the community they live in, and belong to is properly taken care of.
(4) It was the Gay Community that started the fight for care of people with HIV/AIDS and the treatment for this illness. As a result of this medication for HIV/AIDS came through and the awareness of all other STDS besides HIV/AIDS became more prevalent. Today some of our very people are being benefited from this.
(5) My people the time that is being spend on here about all this should be used to discuss with this generation and everyone else to be educated to accept all people no matter, whats the skin color, or who they love, no matter what is sexual orientation, or who they love and care for. It is time to look into getting proper health care for the very same brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers etc who are dieing from all different illnesses in Dominica. People, HIV/AIDS or other STDS is not the only illness. Stop it my people it is such a waste of time. Take this time to collaborate with the very same countries and people to help our island continue to move forward.
(6) When the earthquake hit Haiti the people from around the world especially the USA did not look at what was or is the Haitian life before or then. They saw human beings and went and help and to this day is still assisting the Haitians. Some of the very food, medicine and clothes etc in Dominica was made or planted by a Gay or however you label the people who are also humans. My people wake up and stop it.
(7) Remember Dominica is not on a different planet and we are very much dependent on the outside world.
(8) Wake up my people this is the 21st Century! We are all human no matter where we were born or what religion we follow or don’t follow or ones sexual orientation.
You are trying to say something
Actually, what is your point
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. International Evangelist.
all sin is sin..none not greater than d other…. same hell… its just that seeing two man kissing an stuff is just not the way God made it..thats why there male and female.. if you wanna be gay then go ahead..everyone has their opinion and can live their life how they pls… live it up to God…
LORD!HAVE MERCY ON ALL THOSE IGNORANT PEOPLE ON HERE WHO HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE WRITING ON THE GAY SUBJECT..ITS A SHAME THAT SOME OF US DOMINICAN ARE SO DUMB AND HAVE NO SENSE OF REASONING..SOME OF THEM WHO ARE NEGATIVE ON HERE ARE THE BIGGEST BULLERS..THEY WALK HAND IN HAND WITH WOMEN DURING THE DAY AND AT NIGHT THEY GO KNOCKING ON THE SAME GAY MAN DOOR ASKING FOR MONEY TO BUY BABY FOOD,PAMPERS,SNEAKERS ECT.THEY ARE A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES..AS FOR THE PPL TALKING ABOUT BIBLE,THEY READ THE BIBLE UPSIDE DOWN.THE BIBLE WAS NOT WRITTEN ONLY FOR GAY FOLKS..IT WAS WRITTEN FOR GOSSIPERS,THOSE WHO COVET THEIR BROTHERS,THOSE WHO SEX BEFOR MARRIAGE AND SLEEPING WITH THEIR NEIGHBOUR WIVES AND HUSBANDS,THOSE THEIEVES,LIARS..I CANNGO ON AND ON..THIS IS WHY I STOP GO TO CHURCH.I GOR SAVE TO RUN AWAY FROM THE SO CALLED WORLD AND GOT SAVE..WHILE IN CHURCH AND TOP MEMBER APPROACH AND CONVINCED ME TO HAVE SEX WITH HIM WHILE HE WAS LEADING THE WORSHIP SERVICE ALL THE TIME.I FELT SO GUILTY I START SITTING ON THE LAST BENCE IN CHURCH..WHEN I COULD NOT DEAL WITH IT I HAD TO REPORT THAT TO THE PASTOR..SO CHUIRCH JUST HAVE A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES..THEY LIVING IN SIN,AND SINGING IN GLORY.IF JESUS HAD TO COME NOW MOST OF THEM WOULD BE CAUGHT OFFGUARD AND GO TO HELL WHERE THE WILL MEET THOS SAME GAY FOLKS.WHEN YOUR NEIGHBOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE WET YOURS FIRST.IS TIME WE LOVE AND NOT HATE
@Brother: This is the best and most comprehensive reply I’ve seen. I totally agree with you. Well said. Now, this is being fair and balanced.
@BARBSAL: Though you given some good points, I must disagree with you somewhat with the way our fetes are these days, what happens when guys get drunk when they lime with gay friends unknowingly?
What happens behind closed doors of male oriented schools and fraternities?
what happens in gang initiations?
What happens when our young men do anything for money these days when no jobs are available?
What happens when fathers do not spend time with their sons ?
It starts at home home, parents just raising maco no them days
@RICK ROSS: How ignorant can you be, to think this is a gay disease? Well why don’t u go screwing women like crazy without condom, let me so how the “gay disease” will transcend sexuality. Idiot
Simple: bisexual men/women get it from men/women and give it to women, who give it to STRAIGHT women/men.
@isdat: last time I checked no one asked you to watch the gay movies or cartoons or the parades? So no one is rubbing it in your face!
@A. Franc: at least if we having sex before marriage or not, we can procreate and save the earth. Can the gays do that?
I want to say that its hurts me that this person who wrote this article would say “In addition, boys who adopt a homosexual lifestyle because of the influence of their same-sex parents face a 30% chance of being dead or HIV-positive by the age of 30.” I just want to ask that person a question………IS IT ONLY GAY PEOPLE WHO SUFFER FROM HIV/AIDS. The last time i check most of the people who are suffering from HIV/AIDS are WOMEN. Most of the people who dont want to get tested to know there status are the women. I am HIV POSITIVE and very health and i can tell you living a life that i know i would be there till 80 something years. I just hurt me to see that the so called church folks would be the first to judge the gays and lesbians,however they fail to look at the pic from the inside…the same set of people who are invole in the act are the same ones who are always in church falling out,the same ones who are always looking for the newest guy in church so they can sleep around with. And am talking about CHURCHS in DOMINICA.
In Dominica 70% of the AIDS victims are men and 30% are women. Most of these females contacted the disease from husbands or boyfriends who are bi-sexual.
Homosexuals and especially homosexual men are the ones most responsible for the spread of AIDS. In spite of all that is known about contacting AIDS people continue to have unprotected sex. The scary thing is we are hearing of people having unprotected sex even after they know they have tested positive for HIV. It is not only homosexual men who are doing this. We had a case in Canada of an HIV positive female prostitute who knew she had tested positive and continued to service men, some of them soldiers at an army base.
If you know there is a possibility you may be positive I encourage you to be tested. The sooner you can begin treatment the better it will be for you. There are drugs now that can give you a better life and let you live much longer than it used to be. The treatments are being continually improved…
Continuation …
The important thing is to get into treatment as soon as possible and follow through.
The one sure way to avoid AIDS and any other sexually transmitted disease and have the best life possible is to receive Christ as your personal Savior. Make Him the Lord of your life! This includes adopting the moral code He has given us in the New Testament and living by its precepts.
Please read Romans 5:6-8, John 3:16,17, and 36, Revelation 3:20. Then read Romans 12:1,2,
1 Corinthians 6:9,11, and Galatians 5:19-24.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
@lisad:
That comment is ignorant and stupid .
@GAY PRIDE 30YRS:

@isdat:
YESSSS I…….It is amazing how we can’t see a woman in a thong on tv but we seeing 2 man langing up the screen n licking nipple n ting..Sick shit!!!! look they want kids in kinder garden to learn about having 2 moms and 2 dads Sick!!!!
@Ryon:
what carnival have to do with man bulling man? gasa because you don’t believe in fete liming and carnival doh bring you BS in that. to my knowledge isn’t Bugry(BULLING MAN) a crime in Dominica? and alot of Dominicans do not stand 4 bullers any way. sure they may be a few of them around dwelling but they don’t have the balls to do shit in the open THIS ISN’T GAY ISLAND BARBADOS. I was raised in a female dominated home my father was never around the women that brought me up taught me to have respect and love for woman and that is what i have been doing loving woman and treating them with respect NOT BEING ONE. Alot of family with gay kids (open gay kids) usually have a “happy home” fathers manly man and all but their sons just can’t resist singing like Annie and prancing around with lip gloss on their lips.. blame the parents way of raising their kids. Never stopping them from doing gay shit. THEM NEED TO BEAT DERE RASS STR8
It’s a fact that a vast number of guys on Dominica are iether Gay OR Bisexual and the Lesbian populus is growing as well, if we so know that it is Nasty, why don’t we bring back the Bible and it’s Teachings to our land, we promote alot of it during these events:
…..CARNIVAL- Exposure of extremes to catch the eyes of the same sex
…..FETES- You really don’t know who you limming with
…..World Creole Music Festival…Our French and British Tourists who hook up with our local guys
…..Literature- Parents making their boys read Cinderella and Snow White
…..Toys- Little boys given Dolls to play with
…..Boys do all the chores while the females sit around
…..The amount of Females in Society who think that men are not important in their lives
…..Lack of Fathers and Father figures at home
All of us on this island need ciunselling on this matter to be able to live with one another and help these guys through this, it is not easy for them to do this alone by themselves, they need someone to talk to and to show them the right way.
Ther biggest SIN in DOMINICA are ADULTERY and FORNICATION all of us committ it so we are no better than GAYS
Those who commit adultery and fornication know they are sinning. They are not proud of it. They have not made themselves a “flag”.
Those who commit adultery and fornication do not want to hold a parade to celebrate and promote adultery and fornication. There are no ADULTERY PRIDE PARADES or FORNICATION PRIDE PARADES
People are not dying from committing adultery or fornication. But unmarried women are having babies, dropping out of school, and giving up their career plans. Children are growing up in one parent families
with a father in the home.
Homosexuality has done more to spread AIDS than adultery and fornication.
Did you know that one gay man – an airline steward – tested positive for HIV. After he KNEW he was positive he continued to have unprotected sex literally across America until he had infected over 200 more men.
Governments need to encourage the teaching of Biblical morals and values in the homes, schools, and churches.
Sincerely, Rev. Dr. Donald…
Paragraph 3, line 4.
That should be
“with no father in the home.”
Sorry.
Rev. Don Hill.
Our minds are being conditioned……..the media and these kinds of activities are trying to get people to accept homosexuality……that’s why u hear many people talking about equality and it’s people’s choice…well it’s ur choice if u want to be gay but don’t rub it in other people’s faces in movies and cartoons and parades…keep it to urself man!
I wonder what certain people would say if today or tomorrow their child/children/gf/bf/wife/husband/brother or sister say they GAY………we shouldn’t hate but it should not be encouraged…….anybody right in their mind should see that not natural…u play cricket with a bat and a ball.
It’s evident that Paul Kokosky is biased.
Writing 101 has a basic elementary requirement that you present both sides of an issue, this is taught in elementary/high school. This was an opionated writing that is void of fearness and balance.
A serious author will not write articles using studies/reseach that are supportive of his/her views while leaving out the studies/research that oppose/contradicts his/her views. The essence of writing something like this is to present both points of view and convince your reader why you are right based on scientific research.
Not necessary.
It depends entirely on the author’s purpose in writing.
A lawyer in court is either for the prosecution or the defence. If he is for the prosecution his job is to present the evidence that seems to suggest the accused is guilty. If he is for the defence he must present
any evidence he has that would indicate the accused is innocent.
No lawyer doing prosecution is going to present his case and then say “On the other hand … we have these reasons for believing the accused is innocent….”
A minister in church would not preach a sermon to prove there is a God and then just to balance things give the congregation reasons for not believing in God.
Kokoski is like myself. He has reasons for opposing homosexuality. That is why we write against it. We write what we believe and present our case on a particular subject. It is not the same as writing a regular feature article for a magazine.
Sincerely, Rev. Dr. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
IT IS SUCH A SHAME THAT THESE NEGATIVE PEOPLE TRY TO USE SCIENCE TO CONFIRM THEIR HATE ON PEOPLE WHO WERE BORN THE WAY THEY ARE BEING GAY.I AM A TRUE EXAMPLE WHO WILL DENY THAT MOLESTATION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.GROWING UP AS A BOY IN PORTSMOUTH,I DID EVERYTHING GIRLS WOULD DO.AT THAT TIME I HAD NO SEXUAL INTENTION.GETTING OLDER AS A TEENAGER I REALIZE MY ATTRACTION WAS TOWARDS THE SAME SEX.I DID EVERYTHING TO FIGHT MY DEMONS..I TRIED THE CHURCH,I TRIED DATING WOMEN,I GOT MARRIED,HAVE CHILDREN THIS DID NOT CHANGE THE WAY I FEEL IN MY BODY.IF IT WAS MY OWN CHOICE TO LOVE MEN,KNOWING THE WAY SOCIETY AND THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT IT I WOULD NOT BE WHO I AM TODAY.DON’T GET ME WRONG,I STILL BELIEVE ITS A SIN TO HAVE SEX OUTSIDE MARRIAGE.BUT I MUST ASK THE SAME PEOPLE ON HERE TO CAST THE FIRST STONE IF THEY DO NOT HAVE SIN.IF THEY FORGET LET ME REMIND THEM ALL SIN IS SIN,GOD HATES ALL SIN..SO MY ADVISE IS TO TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR.I REALLY HATE THE PUBLIC STATEMENT AND BAD BEHAVIOUR,OF MEN WEARING WOMEN CLOTHING,AND WALKING AROUND LIKE WOMEN.YOU CAN BE WHO YOU ARE BY NOT MAKING A FOOL OF YOURSELF.SOCIETY IS SO HYPOCRITE.THEY SEEMS TO TOLERATE WOMEN WITH WOMEN,AND WANT TO PERSECUTE MEN FOR THE SAME THING..THE CHURCH IS TO BLAME TOO.INSTEAD OF HAVING BIBLICAL TALKS THEY DEMONIZE PEOPLE.A LOT OF PARENTS IS TO BE BLAME TO AS A LOT OF KIDS ARE HERE CRYING OUT FOR HELP BUT BECAUSE OF NAME CALLING,THEY GO OUT TO FIND THE LOVE AND COMFORT THEY YEARN FOR..ITS ABOUT TIME WE LOOK AT THIS THING AS A SERIOUS PROBLEM,AND BE OPEN MINDED.COOKIE GOD ALSO HATE FORNICATION,ADULTRY,GOSSIP, AND I CAN GO ON AND ON..BUT PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND OTHERS HERE WHO TALKING ABOUT WHAT GOD AND THE BIBLE SAYS SHOULD TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT YOURSELF IF YOU ARE AT RIGHT STANDING WITH HIM

My friend, I don’t know your background but it is obvious somebody took your childhood.
You didn’t get an education. You can’t spell. your grammar is sitting in a rocking chair. You can’t get a paragraph together. Whatever you are trying to say is up the wall and all over the ceiling.
But you can mock the Bible. Yes, you can!
You speak about the gay parade in Toronto. If only you knew how some of the marchers were hurting. After the parade many headed to a gay bar on Church Street hoping to meet another who shared their emptiness to spend a little private time with.
My friend, it doesn’t end here. God has something better for you. He will forgive your sins and give you a life filled with love, joy and peace. All you have to do is believe Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for your sins, and rose again. Trust Him. Receive HIM as your Savior. When Jesus comes into a person’s heart HE makes everything new.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
it will stop soon when god comes to clean up his world. dont worry
In the bible you heard what happened to the city of Sodom and Gomorrah?
It much of the same things that people are trying to advocate now(ie) lesbianism, gay encounters, adultery and fornication).
Be warned!!!!!!
@gay and proud: nasty. God does not like nasty. You were made in his image but you redesigned this image for yourself. Your image is ugly and God also hates ugly.
all of you homophobes who responded to this ignorant writer…I hope you all aren’t having sex before marriage, using condoms in the attempts to procreate and are living life like Jesus…if not. SHUT UP!
Writer I am in agreement with you.
I reside in London and on Friday we had one of the biggest Gay pride parade. Last weekend was New york.
I enjoy looking at them with hand bag and so forth. Again that is want they want so I am not judging them. People or persons who are making judgement may be doing other things secretly that are not pleasant or pleasing in the sight of the Lord.
I am sure I read int he bible these verses.
*if you are without sin cast the first stone
*Donot Judge
*We all fall short of the glory of God.
this has nothing to do with the article.. but it is said in that same bible that ANY man f*c*in* another man must be put to DEATH… we cana promote this plague on our society and our youts in dca and the Caribbean… let them yankies and dem europeans keeep their ting overthere… how would our society exist if everybody is a blooody BATTYMAN???cmon people think logically… BATTYMAN dont promote life they promote death..two man kya have a baby.. neither two women… only one man and one woman can give life… zeeit???
This world is NOT my home – I’m justa passing through…
(words of Jesus)
Luk 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe (Noah), so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man (in the end of time)…
Luk 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
Luk 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
“Jesus, hasten your coming my Lord. Come get me out… this world is really beginning to stink!
Those of you that are still in ‘Sodom’ please get out (Repent) before you face a Fire and Brimstone destruction, please.”
Homosexuality, however, is abnormal, immoral and anti-life. It is not innate as some believe. Sexual orientation is a matter of self-affirmation and public declaration.
…..you need to get with the real world, they aint goin no where.
Besides God etc. it is a disorder.
The men-boy-love-association (A POWERFUL GAY LOBBYING ARM) in America has begun to admit that, according to one court case where they are trying to cut down the law that establishes the age of consent for ‘young tender juicy boys’ that they would like to SODOMIZE from 16 to 14 YEARS of age.
PAIN!
Not in Dominica, stay out!
Thanks to DNO. Keep these interesting stories coming DNO..
Many homosexuals don’t want to be identified with with pedophiles and say “That’s not us…” But the man-boy love association referred to by GCY is unmistakenly a homosexual lobbying organization. I won’t give you their official name and address, and the name of their official publication because I refuse to give them that much publicity. They do not hide the fact that their agenda includes having the age of consent lowered. What they may not admit is that they’d rather there was no age of consent. I remember a little boy being snatched off the street in a North American city years ago. After a few days he was found dead in garbage bag. The coroner’s report showed he had been sodomized and drowned. Investigation revealled he had been drowned in a kitchen sink. Three male suspects were arrested days later while trying to excape to another part of the country. Now who do you think came forward and offered to pay for their lawyers? A gay newspaper in the city where the crime took place! When we realize that only a small percentage of the male population is homosexual it becomes obvious that a disappropriately high number of sexual crimes against children are committed by homosexuals. An example of this is seen in the Roman Catholic priesthood assaults on children. It is almost always homosexual priests assaulting little boys and almost never a hetrosexual priest assaulting a litte girl even though there are more hetrosexual priests. The problem (homosexual pedophilia) will continue until society throws off the shakels of political correctness and recognizes that homosexuality is a pathological disorder that produces other abnormalities. There is no evidence that homosexuals are “born that way”. But wait! People are born with a wide variety of physical problems. We don’t use the fact that they were “born that way” as an excuse to leave them that way! As soon as the problem is recognized it is treated. Homosexuality should be no different. But what do we have? We have homosexual organizations lobbying to make it illegal for psychologists, psychiatrists, and other counselors to even treat homosexuals who want to change. The ironic thing this. Those who are lobbying are homosexuals who don’t want to change. They don’t want others to change because it makes them look foolish. But the counselors are sometimes former homosexuals who have been delivered from the lifestyle and know the change that is possible. Those who seek their help are not happy with the gay life and obviously want out or they wouldn’t be in the counselor’s office. Ignorance of the facts and lack of information is the fuel the gay “movement” runs on. The truth is our greatest advantage. Let’s get it out to the public! Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Pentecostal Evangelist. http://www.livinghopeministries.ca
@Mabouche: Proper response, Thank you ADMIN:
For all you know Mabouche may be a transvestite too, “it” may or may not be a ‘lady’:-)
LOL

@RICK ROSS:
When Jesus said love your neighbour as yourself i doubt he meant having his words twisted by a shallow minded , naive or down right uneducated nincompoop.
WAY PA PA, LOOK AT GAYS IN DOMINCA THEY ALL COME OUT IN THERE NEST AND MAKE COMMENT, WELL BOYS WATCH OUT THEY ARE OUT THERE, GOD IS COMNING VERY SOON, NASTY LIFE!!!!!!!!
@RICK ROSS:
will i didn’t read it that way so if you interpret it that way with your limited mental capacity so be.
It is rather interesting to see the post and the comments that follow. I did not read this article as I prefer not to engage in reading trash. The headlines and the author name was enough to invoke and feeling to vomit. What is interesting thou is that gay pride event are rapidly expanding and soon we will have over in Dominica. I have my special thong to wear on that glorious day. If God is love and he made us in his own image and likeness then we are the same as him. God does not make trash. So no matter how much you narrow minded people think or say you are not significant enough to matter. The pride movement is a live and it is growing. While you there cursing down gay men, your husband in bed with one. They need to throw it in your face then .. GAY is here to stay — get it right …
GAY AND PROUD
PROUD that gays have the highest AIDS rating in the nation?
PROUD that gays are the people group most responsible for the spread of AIDS?
PROUD that gays have above average amount of mental health issues?
PROUD that gays are most prone to violence? (For example 67% of serial killers are gay.)
PROUD that studies shown a gay man is three times as likely to sexually assault a child as a straight man?
PROUD that gays have a higher then average suicide rate?
PROUD that gays have a shorter life span?
PROUD that gays are more often involved in crimes so horrific – so gruesome – the media will not publish the details OR they don’t reveal that the person committing the crime was a homosexual for the sake of political correctness?
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
the erth
@plz: When Jesus said love your neighbour as yourself, he was not talking about our gay neighbours. He might have said, please try to cure your gay neighbours.
This is a ridiculous article with alot of false and misleading info in there. Shame on DNO for deliberately choosing such an article to post just for the sake of ratings and comments from readers .
DNO why not post something meaningful with correct info and recent data ? How are Dominicans supposed to evolve with the rest of the world when our source of info on sensitive topics is so one-sided ?
ADMIN
The article is a letter to the editor. The writer is entitled to his opinion. This article does not represent a news article. Mabouche, everyone has difference of opinion. You have yours, voice it and DNO will publish it. And I am 100% sure that when you voice it, someone will reject it as they have a right to. But do not lambaste us for giving someone a voice. Mabouche, I know you to be very a very intelligent lady don’t let the chicken fried rice get to your head
@you toooooo: Are you endorsing this gay plague disease?
pull that crap of your site you dont need that controversy. Its been a while that discussion is going on some will and some wont, thats the pecking order from creation and it will be the precident to the end. Give us some real new, theres a lot more going on in that local money lundering case. Keep it hot so our ears will remain on the ground, the people of DA needs to know what is going on.
thats one of the worst article i have read, and he even use some “crappy a..” data. Come on DNO you worth more than this
@Live and let Live: lol is that so? you have a link where i can read that?
@cookie:
Cookie who are you to say what is right and wrong.Why do ppl use parts of the bible particularly the old testament to push there point that homosexuality is wrong.It is also written in the bible that adultery is wrong but yet still no one has no problem with married ppl committing it.
As for that article is complete garbage. First of all in study done in 2006 by Pietrzyk states that heterosexually males are more likely to rape a child than a homosexual.Case in point look at the amount of rape cases before the courts in Dominica.
in my opinion society makes person bend to it will.I believe in freedom of choice.The choice to do what you want to do and not what conforms to the norms of what society think is to be done.Segregation was alive and strong once a pond a time now it is dead so too will discrimination of persons based on religious beliefs,sexual orientation, and colour.
Going back to the bible Jesus said love your neighbor as you would love yourself.
I really do not want to discriminate or judge as I am aware that will be judged myself. However, if it is easy for someone to criticize a young woman who has alot of men (which is blatantly wrong) then it is also easy for me to criticize gay and what it symbolizes. This is going against the very core of humanity, going against the teachings of God all for the sake of pleasures of this world. How can a man lie with a man and call it love? How can a woman do the same? People God is never asleep and he is watching. Its time to change before its too late. Stop being so nasty!!!!!!!!!!!! And you know black men especially do not want people to find out that they are gay so they marry innocent women and cheat on them with men and call it a bi try, all the while being so ignorant and not using condoms then they turn and give their wife the HIV. We turn our eyes away from the brotherhood club they have here in which prominent men engage in sexual activities with other men, we turn away from men who abuse our young boys by raping them and killing off their innocence before they can even make their own decision. When is it going to stop? Someone please tell me
@paul:
Paul, Great response, I couldn’t say it better myself and scientific studies back you up. Homophobic men when shown pictures of gay men showed much more arousal than non homophobic heterosexuals.
Shame on you DNO for using a clip from Paul Kokoski.
but lol on the comments y do u like to pick and choose wat you say is good law all sin is sin.
i will deal with a fag every hour of the day than the a vole
if a man want to push poo poo dat he problem
more man dat gay in D/ca more woman 4 me
PRAY PRAY PRAY THE END IS NEARER THAN WE ALL THINK
Thanks for the photo – those guys are really hot .
I think the more one protests someone else sexuality, the more they suspect their own sexuality.
The closet homosexual who can not accept his own sexual identity is the most homophobic. If God so hates homosexuals then on judgment day. Who are we to cast the first stone?
The latest statistic i saw was 80% of pedophiles are heterosexual male on female children. In our Caribbean context that is acceptable ?
Finally Paul Kokoski hates black people also – why do u publish his trash
In 1948 the famous sex researcher Alfred Kinsey found that 37% of gay men admitted to having sex with children.
In 1992 the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy said *…homosexual men are three times more likely to engage in paedophilia.*
I have read many of the articles from Paul Kokoski and have never seen a trace of racism. I have no reason to think he hates black people. However, a newspaper or magazine does not have to agree with every opinion or point of view held by a writer to publish those submissions from him they do agree with. An editor will often publish an article he personally disagrees with when he knows it will be of interest to the public. It is just the way it is in newspaper work and journalism.
Over 40 newspapers and magazines in Canada and the U.S.A., both religious and secular have published articles I have written. I am sure most of the editors of the secular periodicals would not agree with every position I hold on religious and social issues. But I write on issues that are of interest at the time and very few articles are rejected.
However, I personally hate racism. Everybody who knows me in Canada and the USA know I have only positive feelings towards black people. I have preached in large black churches in the USA and have served under some of the most famous black bishops in the nation. My white Canadian partners have sponsored my trips to the Caribbean where I have preached to some of the finest people in the Western Hemisphere: black Pentecostal Christians!
Sincerely, Rev. Dr. Donald Hill. International Evangelist.
Thank you for your input.
I have not seen statistics from Dominica or the Caribbean on child molestation so I cannot reply to this.
Nor have I been able to study the situation there so I can offer no reason why it should be whatever it is.
I do know the stats from the U.S.A. are just the opposite and them I have seen and looked closely at. This was not only one set of stats but included several different studies covering a wide area; the U.S.A.
I like to know what particular time frame a set of stats were taken from.
It would also be important to know the geographic territory the studies were drawn from.
It could be in a specific locality or area the “gay community” is closer knit, and homosexual men have better access to other homosexual men and are less inclined to bother children.
These would be social dynamics or sociological reasons worthy of consideration.
Sincerely, Rev. Dr. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
EQUALITY
LIBERTY
FRATERNITY
Liberate your minds, free your souls
The Gospel of Christ does exactly that
It liberates the mind and frees the soul.
In the Church of Jesus Christ we enjoy maximum
EQUALITY

The Bible says:
”Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold all things are become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

DNO should abstain from using Paul Kokoski’s articles ashis stories are no convincing it lacks any zest to read he is a dull wanna be writer who just quotes. As for the gay celebration issue i do not subscribe to raming poupoo nor gliding fronts using tools/sex toysetc.I saw a pon movie recently guys were using drill guns with susage like bits that freaked me out but no gay business for DA.I have no phobia this is just not natural.There is a lawyer-politician here with an extremely gay son in canada. I wonder what are his views on a gay parade for DA.
Frankly, it doesn’t matter what this lawyer’s views are.
I doubt if he is responsible for his son’s sexual behavior. He should neither take the credit nor the blame.
Parents can teach their children what is right and what is wrong. They can be an example. But beyond that the child’s behavior good or bad is a personal choice.
The Bible – the Word of God – is very clear. Homosexuality is a sin. Unless the individual repents he or she will be barred from the Kingdom of God. Pease read the following scriptures:
Romans 1:26,27.
1 Corinthians 6:9,10.
1 Timothy 1:9,10.
Jude vs. 7.
For 2,000 years the Christian Church has interpreted these scriptures to mean God forbids same gender sexual relationships.
Nations with a Christian heritage have usually had laws prohibiting homosexuality. It has only been in recent decades some nations have moved towards decriminalizing homosexuality and legalizing same sex marriages. This has not been done because of any new knowledge. I has been strictly political.
We know that homosexuals have more mental health issues. They are the main carriers and spreaders of the HIV/AIDS virus. They have a higher rate of alcoholism and more suicides. They suffer from physical injuries and infections due to the lewd practice of anal sex. They have a shorter life span.
Males and females fit together. Obviously human beings have not been created with the anatomy to have same gender sexual relations. To do so they must improvise by using artificial gadgets or sex toys. Or they must do things that are unnatural, sickening, and health threatening.
Homosexuals cannot produce offspring to fulfill the Creator’s instructions to the human race in the beginning to “be fruitful and multiply.”
The reasons for opposing homosexuality are Biblical and scientific. They are objective. No need to even consider what this one or that one thinks.
As a minister of the gospel and a pastoral counselor I remind you that the Bible says
“…if they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light in them.” (Isaiah 8:20)
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. International evangelist.

I am writing this six years later.
I do not think DNO should abstain from using Paul Kokoski’s articles. This man is a well published writer.
Yes, he quotes, but that is in fact a matter of documentation. As a writer myself published in over 40 newspapers and magazines in Canada and the U.S.A., and four small books published, plus some radio and T.V. work, I do NOT find Kokoski’s writings dull. They are quite stimulating!
Sincerely, Rev. Dr. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
Those nasty peanut butter guys and dishwashing females.It Is also written in the bible that no man should have intercourse with another man.God hates that!
