Having lived overseas for a number of years, I confess that I not infrequently tried at that time to disguise myself as a “foreigner” both in dress and speech in order to provide comfortable distance run away from “ugly Americans.” You know, the loud, demanding, obnoxious types (generally not hailing from the American South), whom God has regrettably gifted with excess cash to spend on the latest in shiny minitechnogadgets and discounted jet fare. Hold the peanuts, I’m allergic.
Seems today we’re exporting more than our excess baggage, complemented by convenient love handles, to foreign lands. Reeking faintly of our disastrous consignment of home-brewed eugenics, now comes another produit nouveau: sexuality. True, Americans aren’t the only ones to blame–let’s share the wealth with Canada and the EU. But then again, we did provide the world with contraceptionist, racist, and eugenicist Margaret Sanger and deviant, probable child-abusing sexologist Alfred Kinsey. So, maybe we win the prize after all.
According to this report from the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, although gains were made at last week’s meeting of UN Commission on Population and Human Development, more-than-unfortunate verbiage remained in a document passed by thie UN group. This goes to what I’ve cautioned before about Lutherans using the word “sexuality”. It is word freighted with all sorts of sin and evil; namely emotivism and hedonism.
According to the article
The new CPD document, for instance, has new agreed upon language that calls for ‘providing young people with comprehensive education on human sexuality.’ The document does not define ‘human sexuality,’ so UN agencies and committees will likely turn to technical definitions provided by other UN institutions such as the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO states, ‘Sexuality…encompasses sex, gender, gender identities and roles, sexual orientation, eroticism, pleasure, intimacy, and reproduction.’ The definition further explains, ‘Sexuality is experienced and expressed in thoughts, fantasies, desires, beliefs, attitudes, values, behaviors, practices, roles, and relationships.’ It is likely that many of the delegates allowing for ‘human sexuality’ into the CPD document were not aware of the WHO definition.
Really, some people should stay home.
