Hide your children from gay and lesbian doctors tells linda harvey

Right Wing Watch

Perhaps we should start making laws that say that only female doctors can attend to women? Linda Harvey of Mission America, one of those lovely Right Wing groups that are responsible for things like the Defense of Marriage Act and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, is now saying that lesbian and gay doctors should not be allowed to tend to children. Oh, and lesbian or gay nurses should not tend to children either.

Why? Apparently she feels that just being in the same room as someone who is lesbian or gay will have an influence on a child. That is right, lesbian or gay doctors are going to, while your child is having surgery to remove their tonsils or an inflamed appendix will sit down and talk to them about how great being lesbian or gay is. While your child is busy coughing up a lung, that lesbian or gay nurse will be sitting there telling the kid that it is alright to be lesbian or gay, reports Lezgetreal.

She stated that “There are a few homosexual doctors treating kids, there are far more nurses, LPNs, technicians and other health care workers in these lifestyles. Should your child ever be hospitalized, you do not want your child treated or cared for by one of these members of the Children’s Hospital gay employees group.”

Harvey, like so many blithering loonies on the Right, believe that homosexuality is a choice and that choice means that homosexuality can be ‘passed’ to children. Of course, this is in correct according to the scientific evidence that is out there. In fact, so far, no one has been able to come up with proof that being lesbian or gay is a choice. All they do is say that it is, and try to justify their bigotry that way.

Children are not going to be corrupted by lesbians or gays tending them any more than a woman being tended to by a male doctor will be. Of course, as evidence mounts that being homosexual is innate, these people consistently and constantly turn to the Bible to claim that it is a choice.

Right Wing Watch was kind enough to give us the entire transcript:

How do you feel about open homosexuals tending to your child in a health care setting? Do you think these folks provide good role modeling at a time when your child is very vulnerable? I was thinking about this recently when I heard that Children’s Hospital in Columbus has a homosexual employees group called NCHARGE, which stands for Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Advocates Representing Gay Employees. The meeting minutes of this groups reveal that they participated in last June’s gay pride parade, that they participated in a health expo on adolescent health this summer and that they’re concerned about same-sex partner benefits. They’re also planning to be identified with rainbow lapel pins.

But let’s say your eleven year-old has broken her leg rather badly and needs to be in the hospital a few days, which would you prefer: a nurse who’s proud of her lesbianism, who has rainbow identifiers on her work clothing, or a nurse who does not?

I would like to suggest that parents think long and hard about this. If you want your children to admire people who proclaim a homosexual lifestyle, they’re involvement with your child during a hospital stay is sure to be an influence. And let me be clear that folks involved in these behaviors can be certainly competent workers but they are tacking on to their workplace identity one that is highly offensive to many people and can be erroneously influential to children who won’t, or shouldn’t, see the whole picture of how this behavior really manifests itself.

Here’s what parents can do: select your pediatrician very carefully, first of all. There are a few homosexual doctors treating kids, there are far more nurses, LPNs, technicians and other health care workers in these lifestyles so you may want to consider writing a letter that you file with your pediatrician that should your child ever be hospitalized, you do not want your child to be treated or cared for by one of these members of the Children’s Hospital gay employees group except in the case of an emergency situation. But for routine in-hospital care where contact with your child would be required, your values should be respected.

This evil abhorrent excuse for a human being has way too much of a mouthpiece, she should be ashamed of her self for contending such thoughts out in the open.  Her sanity is obviously an issue and thus shouldn't be allowed to have such a mouthpiece.
