A scene stands out to me from my graduate program in social work. A lesbian professor visited our class to tell about her experience of being same-sex attracted in a small, Midwestern, devoutly Protestant town in the latter twentieth century. As expected, her story was heart-rending.
Afterward, during the Q&A, a black woman in her 40s raised her hand. “I’ve noticed that the high school girls today go through phases where they say that they like girls, and then change their minds and say they like boys again, like it just goes back and forth. And I don’t know if they think it’s cute or what, but it seems to happen a lot these days. Do you have any thoughts on why that is?”
Before the speaker could offer a response, a young, outspoken lesbian student piped up. “I think a girl should be able to like whoever she wants to! If Susie wants to say she likes Joe one week, then Julie the next, then Bobby the week after that, that’s her choice and nobody else’s business!” No more was said on the topic. Apparently satisfied, the class moved with Q&A.
What makes this exchange so troubling is that it occurred in a social-work classroom. Social workers are regularly tasked with diagnosing and treating people’s mental health issues. How can we do that effectively if we accept the dogma that all same-sex attraction is healthy and normal?
Mental health treatment requires close analysis of every aspect of a person’s life. We put together the puzzle pieces that make up a human being. We inquire how many hours someone slept last night and how often he woke up. We form theories around their precise level of eye contact, rate of speech. We ponder how closely they were held as infants.

It is “settled science” The American Psychiatric Association ruled on it decades ago.
How sad to be this crazy.
Whenever or wherever there are subjects that are off-limits for debate, you can bet that trouble lurks behind them.
Be it islam or LBGTQ or climate change or race.
Can you imagine the response of one of our grandparents even reading...the LBGTQ acronym...?
Child molesters.
Only non-scientists use the phrase “settled science”. Science is never settled. Science is curiosity, exploration, innovation, and is always moving onward.
Modern psychology and sociology over the last 60 years have become no more than witchdoctory and voodooism with degrees.
Gee. I wasn’t aware of that.
The liberals should bring back the Insane asylums that they closed back in the 60’s, wouldn’t take long to fill them.
Another Government sponsored diversion.
Don’t look behind the curtain.
America itself has basically already become one big insane asylum.
We form theories around their precise level of eye contact, rate of speech. We ponder how closely they were held as infants.
Oh dear
Um...thats where most liberals SHOULD be
Well the cities and blue counties.
But the RATagandists, bureaucRATs and educRATs are all doubling down.
Homos are perverts. Perverts are part of life. But, don’t call them normal.
As far as I can tell the nuts are at the helm.
How often is MOLESTATION the driving force behind the confusion?
Diversity is the destruction of Good
>http://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2014/07/diversity-destruction.html<
...Diversity is an anti-religion, and anti-ideology, a nepotism which promotes everything except one’s own family.
Diversity therefore equals the destruction of any and all religions and of all positive ideologies.
Because Diversity can only be destructive: whatever IS is insufficiently or inexactly diverse.
Whatever IS must therefore be destroyed in order to make it MORE Diverse.
And there is no conceivable or measurable end to it. Yesterday’s Diversity is today’s intolerable lack of Diversity.
Diversity is the destruction of Good; and it is the destruction of all types of Good - however defined. All are chewed up and spat out by Diversity.
Diversity is the promotion of chaos by the destruction of Good; and then there-naming of chaos as Good.
