Proposed paragraphs Option  below shows the two paragraphs he Hafen is proposing Now that I have read the Wiki guidelines suggested to me here and in other places I can see that this might not fly But I need to be able to tell him I tried with the text he suggested I have another idea for a different approach that might be more acceptable see option mine  after option his I would like your feedback  Current to be replaced Hafen denies that there is a biological link to sexual orientation stating that samesex attraction is not in your DNA He says that the American Psychological Association was politically motivated to remove homosexuality from its list of mental disorders  Option  As a Professor of Law at BYU from  his teaching and research focused on family law and education law with particular interests in the legal rights of children and in the legal status of marriage  A sample of his scholarly articles includes publications in the Harvard Law Review Harvard International Law Journal Michigan Law Review Duke Law Journal Ohio State Law Journal and the American Bar Association Journal Two of his articles were cited in opinions of the US Supreme Court He has been an invited speaker at professional conferences on family education and constitutional law in a variety of international and domestic locations  In a  speech in Utah Hafen spoke to Evergreen International a support group for people who desire to overcome their own samegender attraction A portion of his remarks summarized the secular case against samegender marriage He cited the  decision of the French parliament rejecting gay marriage so that children do not suffer as a result of situations imposed on them by adults  The interest of the child must outweigh the exercise of freedom by adults whatever life choices are made by the parents  He also stated that samesex attraction is not in your DNA observing that while inherited susceptibilities and natural personality traits do influence ones inclinations toward samegender attraction the idea that there is a gay gene that determines gender attraction has little scientific support  He stated that the gay rights movement represents an aggressive political movement more than it represents substantive change in the medical or legal evidence  For example he said the decision of the American Psychological Association to remove homosexuality from its list of mental disorders in  came from putting the issue to an open vote in their professional meetingsnot because of any change in actual medical findings    Option  In a  speech in Utah Hafen spoke to Evergreen International a support group for people who desire to overcome their own samegender attraction His address generated a wide range of responses and was reported on in Salt Lake Citys two major newspapers the Salt Lake Tribuneand the Deseret News I was thinkinghoping this would be neutral because the Tribune gave a lessthanfavorable report and the Deseret News gave a more favorable report Referencing the two could offer some balance
