Who's put this idea into our kids' heads?

Our American culture. Every sitcom that has an obligatory gay character. Movies like Brokeback Mountain, The Crying Game, Torch Song Trilogy, etc., a Media that mentions the gay-bashing of Matthew Sheppard ad infinitum but will rarely ever report the story of the woman in Chicago who was murdered by a gay man or the fourteen year old boy who was raped by two gay men. The fact that political terms like homophobia can hide behind a scientific, rationalist veneer of psychology and enters the national vocabulary, and a political debate that has spent decades attacking religion in general and Christianity in particular and finds itself on purely secular grounds trying to explain why homosexuality is or is not acceptable. If we have a purely secular government, then the gays win this one. And really why not? I will personally thank every oxymoronic secular "conservative" in the country when it happens.

I triple-majored in undergrad. One of those majors was Psych. Psychology is not "scientific," no matter how hard it tries to be.
