Priest told to stop handing out anti-gay sex pamphlets
Associated Press

PITTSBURGH -- A Roman Catholic diocese in western Pennsylvania has ordered a priest to stop distributing an anti-gay sex pamphlet that it says "borders on the pornographic."

The Rev. John Nesbella, who works at the Prince of Peace parish in Northern Cambria in the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese, said Wednesday he has stopped distributing "Medical Consequences of What Homosexuals Do."

But Nesbella says the seven-page document supports the church's stance against same-sex marriage by detailing claims about the negative medical consequences of gay sex acts.

The pamphlet is authored by Paul Cameron, a sociologist who chairs the Family Research Institute in Colorado Springs, Colo. It graphically describes various gay sex acts and refers to Cameron's own research, newspaper articles, medical journals and government statistics.

Cameron concludes, "Homosexuals are sexually troubled people engaging in dangerous activities."
