Where does this doctor, William Byne, get off stating, unequivocably: "it is unethical to act in any way to promote the agenda of such a movement ["anti-gay religionists"] that is driven by fear and hatred and almost devoid of compassion"? What people is he referring to? Which group of "anti-gay religionists" is he specifically attacking? How did he come to the conclusion as to what their motivations are? How does he know that, as a group, these people are "driven by fear and hatred"? What are these people (whoever they are) not compassionate about?
Dr. Byne, for example, never offered any evidence for lumping Dr. Rekers with "antigay religionists." I can only speculate that it is because Dr. Rekers holds a doctorate in theology in addition to his doctorate in psychology. But Rekers is also a tenured professor of neuropsychiatry at the University of South Carolina and an internationally recognized expert on Gender Identity Disorder. Is it really so much to ask that his paper be evaluated on its merits?
NARTH, however, is their primary target.
How does he know that, as a group, these people are "driven by fear and hatred"?
If you disagree with their agenda, you are a 'homophobe' and a 'hater' and must be silenced -- Documented in replies 308, 391, 143, 68, 443, 108, 245, 243, 175, and 136 of Scripter's Index of Links thread.
