Why Isn't Kaieteur News Printing Rebuttals to Stella Ramsaroop Regarding Her Support for Gay Militancy In Guyana?

Context:

It has come to my attention that the newspapers in Guyana never published any of numerous responses sent to them in June of 2006 regarding an article “Roger Williams: Homosexuals are just as human as you and me!” by Stella Ramsaroop.

The fact that many of these responses were ignored is troubling, particularly since some were communicated to Ms. Ramsaroop herself with a challenge that she encourage Kaieteur News, in particular, to print same to show that they were capable of being “fair”.

The following is a rework of one such submission (sent previously on the 5th, 9th, 13th and 14th of June 2006, but as yet unpublished by Kaieteur News, or acknowledged by Ms. Ramsaroop at her guyanagroove website), and a challenge is again issued that she encourages fairness in the debate process rather than hide behind the editorial/ownership policy at Kaieteur News. Copies of the previous e-mails complete with their circulation lists, are available by writing RogerWilli@Yahoo.com.


Dear Editor,

I refer to the “Stella Says” column in Guyana’s Kaieteur News of Sunday 4th June 2006, and offer this response.

This is the third attempt to have a rebuttal published (14/6/06), so we may well be witnessing a new and deliberate attempt by the media to be complicit with gay militancy in Guyana.

Kaieteur News has published several gay-militant-supporting submissions under the guise of “fairness” but has neglected to require any academic or intellectual rigor of these persons, merely using as its defence an infatuation with “discrimination”. In the process, they are accommodating the breaking of several local laws, including Chapter 21:02 (Cinematographic & Video Act) and the Criminal Law Offences Act, Chapters 8:01 and 8:02.

A copy has been sent as an open letter to the owners of Kaieteur News and Stabroek News, and the Managing editor of the government-owned Guyana Chronicle. This letter is also copied to as many sections of the Caribbean media as possible, given the importance of circulating the legal, medical, moral and intellectual basis against homosexuality and gay-militancy in Caribbean states.

In that regard, many current law reviews are cited below.

The entire column by Stella Ramsaroop, and supporting arguments by Paul Ramsaroop in the same newspaper, can be summed up in four fatal inaccuracies and misconceptions.

Firstly, she advocates that to be fair on the issue of gay militancy, Christians should/must also “boycott businesses that accommodate those who are cheaters, wrongdoers, sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, prostitutes, thieves, drunkards, slanderers and swindlers”. This is not the robust intellectual challenge she intends it to be, and the response of the Christian community should be this simple: WE WILL DO SO IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEIR REPRESENTATIVE “ASSOCIATIONS” REQUIRE KAIETEUR NEWS TO PUBLISH PRESS RELEASES THAT THEY WILL BE HOLDING EXHIBITIONS, FILM FESTIVALS AND RADIO PROGRAMMES “CELEBRATING” THEIR CRAFT.

Their reluctance to do the above will illustrate one inescapable fact, that it is utter nonsense to challenge moral or criminal law … simply by breaking the moral or criminal law. It is equally nonsensical to infer that Christians have not adopted a position on each or any of these vices in the historical past.

This is no less that what Ms. Ramsaroop is now advocating, and the rationale is trite, flippant, and devoid of intellectual merit. She might therefore find comfort in requesting the Society of Murderers, or the Society of Rapists and Molesters, to request KN to handle their Press Releases for their exhibitions and film festivals. After all, they are human beings too, and (sic) no further rationale, analysis or logic is needed to defend their actions.

Secondly, Ms. Ramsaroop advocates that SASOD is not trying to recruit more people to their way of life, but really orchestrating a “celebration”.

What, exactly, does gay militancy represented by Vidyaratha Kissoon and SASOD in Guyana, have to celebrate? She offers no suggestions, and obviously needs help. To accommodate this we must proceed to established authority. First, are they going to celebrate the fact that the Centers for Disease Control establishes that after 25 years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, MSMs (bisexual and homosexual) still represent that most accommodating vehicle for the spread of HIV. What are the facts for Guyana?. She should refer to the website http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/stats.htm#international) for more detail, or else peruse the copy of the table for 2002 (on page 5 of the report at http://www.guyanacaribbeanpolitics.com/national_assessment.pdf).

The CDC figures for Guyana infer 60% “under-reporting”. There has never been a CDC-sponsored/executed seroprevalence study on men in Guyana (see http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol8no3/01-0261.htm, dated 1/30/2004, and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=9220699&dopt=Abstract).

If that is not enough, Ms. Ramsaroop should take the step that the Christian community did years ago, and educate herself on the secular arguments beside 1 Corinthians 6:7-10 that are firmly consistent with the Biblical position on gay militancy and homosexual activity. In this case we should first turn to three of five established law reviews:

Selling Homosexuality to America”, by Paul Rondeau, 14 Regent U. L. Rev. 443 (2002).
(http://www.regent.edu/acad/schlaw/academics/lawreview/articles/14_2Rondeau.PDF)

Child Molestation and the Homosexual Movement”, by Steve Baldwin. 14 Regent U. L. Rev. 267 (2002),
(http://www.regent.edu/acad/schlaw/academics/lawreview/articles/14_2baldwin.PDF)

Crafting Bi/Homosexual Youth”, by Judith Reisman. 14 Regent U. L. Rev. 283, 326 (2002
(http://www.regent.edu/acad/schlaw/academics/lawreview/articles/14_2Reisman.PDF)

Paul Rondeau above illustrates how the media is frequently complicit in aiding the gay-militant agenda, and Ms. Ramsaroop’s column illustrates what perils accompany a lack of meaningful research. Steve Baldwin illustrates inter alia that the homosexual community molest children at a rate vastly higher that heterosexuals, and Judith Reisman (who destroyed Alfred Kinsey’s theories on sexuality) illustrates the intellectual trap that SASOD and Kissoon are leading (have led?) Ms. Ramsaroop into.

This is why we should depart from a meaningless exchange of opinion, and focus on the evidence available.

Thirdly, Ms. Ramsaroop maintains that “these events also allow others to see that those in the homosexual community are not aliens with antennas coming out of their heads; they are normal human beings with human emotions just like you and me”. This is the first point in the column that makes any sense, because it is the truth. But as usual she completely misinterprets the intellectual premise being addressed. It is not the “humanity” of homosexuals that is under discussion here, but the efforts of SASOD and Vidyaratha Kissoon to deliberately hide an agenda by lying, and worse, lying to the very people that need treatment, and the truth, to recover from homosexual entrapment. Further rationalization of this issue would be best left to the two other law reviews, namely:

Gay Orthodoxy and Academic Heresy”. By Ty Clevenger. 14 Regent U. L. Rev. 241 (2002)
(http://www.regent.edu/acad/schlaw/academics/lawreview/articles/14_2clevenger.PDF)

The American Psychiatric Association’s Destructive and Blind Pursuit of Political Correctness”; by Ben Kaufman. 14 Regent U. L. Rev. 423 (2002).
(http://www.regent.edu/acad/schlaw/academics/lawreview/articles/14_2kaufman.PDF)

Finally, and fourthly, Stella departs from her own advice on the intent of inclusiveness in I Corinthians 6:7-10 and now makes the astonishing comment that it is only the “child molesters” the “thieving criminals” and the “swindling politicians” who are dragging Guyana 's morality "into a cesspool of grime”.

Ms. Ramsaroop’s exhibits in that statement a disturbing level of deception and intellectual convenience. If not that, then it is delusion, because we must now reveal that disease and child molestation defines the death-style that SASOD is sworn to protect, and to the extent that the gay population in the USA circa 1990 (1% of the total population) was responsible for more than 50% of the national cases of syphilis and gonorrhoea, she seems to wilfully ignore the fact that we can expect a similarly dramatic and disproportionate effect in the contracting and spread of rectal gonorrhea, gonorrhea of the throat, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, herpes, CMV, urethritis, pediculosis, scabies, venereal warts and intestinal parasites (in addition to the incidence of HIV) in Guyana.

What are the facts for Guyana? The Guyana Police (in turning a blind eye), the management at the National Communication Network (in accommodating a radio programme) and the Librarian at the National Library need to let us know, since they claim to be doing the public a service in accommodating the message of gay militancy.

For the final word, enter Lee Mundy, Editor in Chief of the Regent University Law Review Series (partially cited above):

“.... So we are left with the unpopular job of setting the record straight. The legal community has a right to know, among other things, that a link exists between homosexuality and the sexual abuse of children, that the American Psychiatric Association was hijacked by homosexual activists, that homosexuality is being marketed to children, that studies claiming that homosexual parenting does not harm children are questionable, that homosexuality is not immutable, and that homosexual advocates are calling for the legalization of pedophilia...."

This point needs repeating: Homosexuality is not a civil right. It is a civil wrong! … and gay militants like Vidyaratha Kissoon and SASOD are perpetuating that wrong.

Ms. Stella Ramsaroop should take note, and Proverbs 23:23 should be helpful in that endeavour.

Yours faithfully
