3. Same-sex marriage should be opposed because
homosexuality so inverts God’s design it leads to physical,
mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual ruin.
WHY OPPOSE SAME-SEX RELATIONSHIPS

4. 2. Sodomite practices are
unsanitary, spreading
terrible disease.
“Wherefore God also gave them up to
uncleanness through the lusts of their own
hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between
themselves: 27...men with men working that
which is unseemly (Gr: indecent), and
receiving in themselves (in their bodies) that
recompence (consequence) of their error
which was meet (Gr: inevitable).”
-Romans 1:24,27
-Antonio Bernard

5. Anal Sex General health risks :
•Unlike the vagina, the tissues of the anus are not
stretchy. This means that the anus can easily tear,
which puts the receiving partner in danger of anal
abscesses, hemorrhoids, or fissures (a very large tear).
•Anal sex can weaken your muscles down there,
which makes it hard to hold feces.
•The anus is full of bacteria. Consequently,
the giving partner is especially prone to infections.
(The Medical Institute for Sexual Health 2012).
-Antonio Bernard

6. Anal Sex General health risks :
The risk of infection from unprotected
anal sex may be more than 20 times that
of unprotected vaginal sex.

• The anus is the exit door of our
body’s waste and therefore home to a
tremendous amount of bacteria and
other pathogens.
• The fragile nature of the anal tissue
makes it easier for STDs to enter into
the bloodstream.
-Antonio Bernard

7. Anal Sex General health risks :
HPV is one of the most deadly sexually
transmitted infections! All cervical cancer cases
are linked to genital infection with the virus.
http://greensecret.com.ph/article-categories/disease-
prevention/322-part-xx-prevention-is-the-best-cure
• Recent studies have linked anal sex to
anal cancer. HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
is closely associated with anal cancer, and
frequently spreads through anal sex.
• Cancer of the cervix is the second most
common cancer in women, with 500,000
new cases and 250,000 deaths each year.

other uses can increase the potential for breakage.”

9. The U.S Food and Drug
Administration
“The Surgeon General (C. Everett Koop, Surgeon General 1982-1989) has said,
‘Condoms provide some protection, but anal intercourse is simply too dangerous to
practice.’ Condoms may be more likely to break during anal intercourse than during
other types of sex because the greater amount of friction and other stresses involved.
Even if the condom doesn’t break, anal intercourse is very risky because it can cause
tissue in the rectum to tear and bleed. These tears allow disease germs to pass more
easily from one partner to the other.”
Are condoms strong enough for anal intercourse ?

10. The Ins and Outs of Gay Sex:
A Medical Handbook for Men
• Whether we call it anal sex, anal intercourse, …
this type of sex is an integral part of sexual relations
for many men who have sex with men…
•Physiologically, anal sex must not be taken lightly...
Anal sex is probably the highest-risk sexual act
performed by men who have sex with men –
and not just because of HIV.
• Most sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) pass
between partners during anal sex – even without
ejaculation. And a condom may not be
protection enough.
Stephen E. Goldstone, MD, The Ins and Outs of Gay Sex; A Medical Handbook
for Men , Dell Publishing-Random House, 1999. Publishers Weekly quote on
Goldstone’s book, pp. 23. http://amzn.to/2c4WSh6

11. The Health Risk Of Gay Sex:
John R. Diggs, Jr., MD, “The Health Risks of Gay Sex,” Corporate Research Council, 2002, http://
www.cbn.com/spirituallife/biblestudyandtheology/Discipleship/Gay_Sex_Health_Risks.pdf
• Anal intercourse is the sine qua non
of sex for many gay men. Yet human
physiology makes it clear that the body was
not designed to accommodate this activity.
• The rectum is significantly different from the
vagina with regard to suitability for penetration by
a penis. The vagina has natural lubricants and is
supported by a network of muscles.
• It is composed of a mucus membrane with a
multilayer stratified squamous epithelium that
allows it to endure friction without damage and
to resist the immunological actions caused by
semen and sperm.

12. • In comparison, the anus is a delicate
mechanism of small muscles that comprise
and “exit only” passage.
• With repeated trauma, friction and stretching, the
sphincter loses its tone and its ability to maintain a
tight seal. Consequently, anal sex leads to leakage of
fecal material that can easily become chronic.
The Health Risk Of Gay Sex:
• The potential for injury is exacerbated by the fact that
the intestine has only a single layer of cells separating
it from highly vascular tissue, that is, blood.
John R. Diggs, Jr., MD, “The Health Risks of Gay Sex,” Corporate Research Council, 2002, http://
www.cbn.com/spirituallife/biblestudyandtheology/Discipleship/Gay_Sex_Health_Risks.pdf

Gay_Sex_Health_Risks.pdf
• Therefore, any organisms that are
introduced into the rectum have a much
easier time establishing a foothold that they
would in a vagina.
• The single layer tissue cannot withstand the friction
associated with penile penetration [or penetration by
fingers, fist, or foreign objects], resulting in traumas
that expose both participants to blood, organisms in
feces, and a mixing of bodily fluids.

14. “...We the undersigned recognize that anal intercourse (A/I) is a particularly high risk
sexual practice and it is associated with the highest risk of HIV infection. We further
recognize that although there is strong evidence that condom use generally reduces sexual
transmission of HIV, solid data showing the effectiveness of currently available condoms
during A/I, a particularly high-risk sexual practice, still are lacking. “As physicians, we
are concerned for the health of the students and recommend that...students [be warned] of
the risks of anal intercourse and of the risks of condom failure during anal intercourse. ”
In 2005, over 270 physicians concerned about sex education in
Montgomery County, Maryland signed a petition for the Board of
Education that state:

22. Rectal Incontinence & Anal Sex

23. Rectal Incontinence & Anal Sex
Anal sex can lead to rectal incontinence.WebMD notes, “An
estimated 90% of men who have sex with men and as many as 5% to
10% of sexually active women engage in receptive anal intercourse.”
The site asks, “Is anal sex safe?” and notes the “weakening of the
anal sphincter” resulting from the unnatural stresses of anal sex. It
emphasizes that “the anus was designed to hold in feces.”

24. Rectal Incontinence & Anal Sex
There are a number of health risks with anal sex, and anal
intercourse is the riskiest form of sexual activity for several reasons,
including the following: …“The anus was designed to hold in feces.
The anus is surrounded with a ring-like muscle, called the anal
sphincter, which tightens after we defecate. When the muscle is
tight, anal penetration can be painful and difficult.”

25. Rectal Incontinence & Anal Sex
“Repetitive anal sex may lead to weakening of the anal sphincter,
making it difficult to hold in feces until you can get to the toilet…
The anus is full of bacteria. Even if both partners do not have a
sexually-transmitted infection or disease, bacteria normally in the
anus can potentially infect the giving partner…The only way to
completely avoid anal sex risks is to abstain from anal sex.”
WebMD , “Anal Sex Safety and Health Concerns,” Nov. 19, 2015, http://www.webmd.com/sex/anal-sex-health-concerns”

26. Rectal Incontinence & Anal Sex
Dr. Stephen Goldstone ( The Ins and Outs of Gay Sex ) warns of the
dangers of overstretching the sphincter before anal sex: “Stretching
with several fingers can cause a dangerous tear and plunge your
sphincter into painful spasm, which will prevent penetration.
Sphincter injury may weaken the muscle so that it cannot
contract adequately. Loss of bowel control may result…”
-Goldstone, op. cit., p. 8, 47.

27. Rectal Incontinence & Anal Sex
“Some [fecal] seepage is normal after receptive anal sex
[acting as “bottom”] because your sphincter muscle is
stretched and cannot contract, and also because (sexual
intercourse) stimulates colonic motility, which sends feces
from your colon down into your lower rectum.”
-Goldstone, op. cit., p. 8, 47.

Gay Bowel Syndrome (GBS)

29. Gay Bowel Syndrome (GBS)“STD Treatment Guidelines: Proctitis, Proctocolitis, and Enteritis,” (Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention) 1993. Homosexual advocates object to the use of this
term (Gay Bowel Syn- drome), which they say unfairly stigmatizes homosexual
behavior. Health Implications Associated with Homosexuality.
(Austin: The Medical Institute for Sexual Health, 1999), 55.

30. Gay Bowel Syndrome (GBS)
The Journal of the American Medical Association refers to GBS
problems such as proctitis, proctocolitis, and enteritis as “sexually
transmitted gastrointestinal syndromes.”

31. Gay Bowel Syndrome (GBS)
“Many of the bacterial and protozoa pathogens that cause GBS are found in feces and
transmitted to the digestive system: According to the pro-homosexual text Anal Pleasure and
Health, “[s]exual activities provide many opportunities for tiny amounts of contaminated feces
to find their way into the mouth of a sexual partner...The most direct route is oral-anal contact.”
-Jack Morin, Anal Pleasure and Health: A Guide for Men and Women (San Francisco: Down There Press, 1998), 220.

32. Gay Bowel Syndrome (GBS)
“Proctitis and Proctocolitis are inflammations of the rectum and colon that cause pain, bloody
rectal discharge and rectal spasms. Proctitis is associated with stds such as gonorrhea, chlamydia,
herpes, and syphilis that are widespread among homosexuals. The Sexually Transmitted Disease
Information Center of the Journal of the American Medical Association reports that “proctitis
occurs pre-dominantly among persons who participate in anal intercourse.”
-Health Implications Associated with Homosexuality (Austin: The Medical Institute for Sexual Health, 1999), 55.

33. Gay Bowel Syndrome (GBS)
“Enteritis is inflammation of the small intestine. According to the Sexually Transmitted
Disease Information Center of the Journal of the American Medical Association,
“enteritis occurs among those whose sexual practices include oral-fecal contact.”
-std Treatment Guidelines: Proctitis, Proctocolitis, and Enteritis.

34. Gay Bowel Syndrome (GBS)
“Enteritis can cause abdominal pain, severe cramping, intense
diarrhea, fever, malabsorption of nutrients, or weight loss”
-Health Implications Associated with Homosexuality, 55. See also Jack Morin,
Anal Pleasure and Health: A Guide for Men and Women, 220.

35. Gay Bowel Syndrome (GBS)
“According to a report in The Health Implications of Homosexuality by the Medical
Institute for Sexual Health, some pathogens associated with enteritis and proctocolitis
[see below] “appear only to be sexually transmitted among men who have sex with men.”
-Health Implications Associated with Homosexuality, 55.

36. ANAL SEX
The American Journal of Epidemiology (F.N. Judson vol. 112, p 836-43) reports,
“Studies have also indicated that the body’s natural immune system is broken
down by repeated exposure to sperm during anal (and oral) intercourse....”
According to research by Dr. John R. Diggs Jr.
(The Health Risks of Gay Sex), “...ejaculate has
components that are immunosuppressive. In the
course of ordinary reproductive physiology, this
allows the sperm to evade the immune defense
of the female. Rectal insemination of rabbits has
shown that sperm impaired the immune
defenses of the recipient. Semen may have a
similar impact on humans.”

37. ANAL“ The female vagina was designed for intercourse. The vagina has
natural lubricants, a network of muscles supporting it, and is able
to endure intercourse without damage. It can resist the
immunological actions that semen and sperm cause.
The rectum cannot. Potentially dangerous bacteria can be
contained in the anus and rectum. Anal sex can transmit a whole
host of sexually transmitted diseases. Oral sex can transmit
virtually all of the sexually transmitted diseases as well. "

38. SEMEN“Semen has immunesuppressant activity that increases the chance of sperm
fertilizing a woman's egg during vaginal intercourse. If released in the rectum,
however, semen makes this already vulnerable tissue more prone to both
infection and the development of cancer – rectal carcinoma in MSM results from
infection with a highly carcinogenic strain of HPV (Diggs, 2002).”
Michelle A. Cretella, MD (American College of Pediatricians) and Philip M. Sutton, PhD, “Health Risks: Fisting and other Homosexual Practices,” NARTH, 2009, http://web.archive.org/web/20141115135731/http://www.narth.org/docs/healthrisks.html
& ANAL SEX

39. The Anus is an Exit, Not an Entrance.
“The end result is that the fragility of the anus and rectum, along with the immunosuppressive
effect of ejaculate, make anal-genital intercourse a most efficient manner of transmitting HIV
and other infections. The list of diseases found with extraordinary frequency among male
homosexual practitioners as a result of anal intercourse is alarming:”
-John R. Diggs, Jr., MD, “The Health Risks of Gay Sex,” Corporate Research Council, 2002,
http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/biblestudyandtheology/Discipleship/Gay_Sex_Health_Risks.pdf

40. The Anus is an Exit, Not an Entrance.
“ Anal Cancer, Chlamydia trachomatis, Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia, Herpes simplex
virus, Human immunodeficiency virus [HIV], Human papilloma virus [HPV], Isospora belli,
Microsporidia, Gonorrhea, Viral hepatitis types B & C, Syphilis. Sexual transmission of
some of these diseases is so rare in the exclusively heterosexual.”
population as to be virtually unknown. Others, while found among heterosexual and
homosexual practitioners, are clearly predominated by those involved in homosexual activity.
-John R. Diggs, Jr., MD, “The Health Risks of Gay Sex,” Corporate Research Council, 2002,
http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/biblestudyandtheology/Discipleship/Gay_Sex_Health_Risks.pdf

43. Anal Cancer
“Homosexuals are at increased risk
for this rare type of cancer, which is
potentially fatal if the anal-rectal
tumors metastasize to other bodily
organs. Dr. Andrew Grulich calls
“the rising rates of anal cancer
the next great health threat to
homosexual men.”
-Zmuda, “Rising Rates of Anal
Cancer for Gay Men.”

44. “Dr. Joel Palefsky, a leading expert in the field of
anal cancer, reports that while the incidence of
anal cancer in the United States is only
0.9/100,000, that number soars to 35/100,000 for
homosexuals. That rate doubles again for those
who are hiv positive, which, according to Dr.
Palefsky, is “roughly ten times higher than
the current rate of cervical cancer.”
Anal Cancer:
-Bob Roehr, “Anal Cancer and You,” Between
the Lines News (November 16, 2000).

45. “At the Fourth International AIDS Malignancy
Conference at the National Institutes of Health in
May, 2000, Dr. Andrew Grulich announced that the
incidence of anal cancer among homosexuals with
HIV “was raised 37-fold compared with the
general population.”
Anal Cancer:
-“Studies Point to Increased Risks of Anal Cancer.”

46. Sodomite practices
disregard natural Anatomical
and Physiological functions

47. 26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their
women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27
and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the
woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men
committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due
penalty of their error. (Romans 1:18-27)

48. “The broader context of Paul’s rejection of homosexuality is
clear: homosexuality is a dramatic sign of rebellion against God’s
sovereign intention in creation and a gross perversion of God’s
good and perfect plan for His created order.”
– Albert Mohler, Desire and Deceit, p. 69

49. “Paul first refers to the
degradation of females among the
heathen, because they are always
the last to be affected in the decay
of morals, and their corruption is
therefore proof that all virtue is
lost.”
– Charles Hodge, Romans, p. 42

Media Studies at the University of the Arts, stated
