Thank you for the link!

You should be aware, however, that Paul Cameron is not considered credible by mainstream researchers. He was expelled from the American Psychological Association in 1983 for an ethics violation. A 1985 resolution adopted by the American Sociological Association claimed Cameron "has consistently misinterpreted and misrepresented sociological research on sexuality, homosexuality, and lesbianism". And in 1985, Judge Buchmeyer of the US District Court of Dallas in a written opinion stated that Cameron had made misrepresentations to the Court.

These sanctions may well reflect simple persecution of a scientist who is challenging the dominant orthodoxy. But other scientists who challenge the mainstream position on homosexuality haven't been sanctioned on scientific ethics, and a strong case against homosexuality can be made without relying on Cameron's research. I thumbed through my copy of Homosexuality and the Politics of Truth by Dr. Jeffrey Satinover (an excellent book that helped convince me that homosexuality is wrong and dangerous), and he never mentions or quotes Cameron. So I am wary of Cameron.
