   In July 1960, a series in the girls' comic School Friend was   
   called The Gay Princess, while in October 1961, another girls'   
   comic, June, referred to its Star of the Week as “gay Helen   
   Shapiro”. (1) Today, a gay princess and a gay singer would have   
   entirely different connotations. In his autobiography, published   
   some five years later, a senior Scottish police officer   
   recounted how in his younger days he had been engaged in the   
   suppression of homosexual practices in the public toilets of   
   Edinburgh.   
      
   William Merrilees might be described as an old-fashioned no-   
   nonsense “copper”. Before the Second World War when he was head   
   of the Vice Squad, he was given the task of cleaning up the   
   city's lowlife, and he did so with alacrity. In a chapter The   
   Campaign Against Homosexuality, he enthused: “Now that we had   
   convictions to our credit, I felt free to wage wholesale war on   
   these perverts and their associates, and quite a number of   
   arrests were made from urinals throughout the city.” (2)   
      
   This admirable moral crusade was to result in the closure of   
   nine public urinals and other premises. Nowadays, any police   
   officer who campaigned against homosexuality would be accused of   
   homophobia, and one who referred openly to homosexuals as   
   perverts would be hauled up in front of a disciplinary board.   
   Even then at times rightly feared British police have been cowed   
   by the constant barrage of gay propaganda.   
      
   Gay, this happy sounding word, has been verbally kidnapped by   
   the homosexual lobby. The evidence that homosexuality is gay is   
   close to non-existent, but by dint of incessant repetition we   
   have reached the stage where even the staunchest opponents of   
   this perversion refer openly to homosexuals as gays.   
      
   Although one must always be careful about how one interprets   
   statistics, the evidence from statistics as from other sources   
   is impressive - or rather horrifying - that homosexuals are   
   emphatically not gay; that by and large they die younger, are   
   more prone to violence - both as victims and as perpetrators -   
   (3) and that they are vectors of the most abominable diseases   
   known to man.   
      
   Any honest, unbiased person who has studied the medical   
   literature relating to homosexuality will surely reach the same   
   conclusion. This is undoubtedly the reason there are so few   
   homosexual doctors.   
      
   In addition to proselytising homosexuality as gay, the Organised   
   Homosexual Movement has coined an epithet, homophobia, which   
   like racist or anti-Semite is the modern day equivalent of   
   branding somebody a witch. In 1997, an American psychiatrist   
   wrote that: “In 1970, homosexuality was an illness so dangerous   
   to the commonwealth that the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization   
   Service was charged with excluding homosexuals from entering the   
   country...Today, homosexuality is a normal life style;   
   disapproving of it is a mental illness called 'homophobia'...”   
   (4)   
      
   In a press release dated December 15, 1973, the American   
   Psychiatric Association became the first medical organisation   
   “to officially remove the stigma of disease from persons with   
   same-sex preference”. (5)   
      
   One might ask what new findings were made about homosexuality   
   between 1970 and 1973 to reverse the diagnosis that it is a   
   disease? The answer is of course none, but the homosexual lobby   
   (6) brought about this reversal by its persistent and for the   
   most part dishonest public campaigning and lobbying of   
   government and influential organisations. Homosexuality is   
   indeed a disease, but a disease of the spirit.
