A discussion on religion, homosexuality and therapy that had been scheduled during the American Psychiatric Association's annual meeting in Washington has been shut down following an attack by a "gay" publication on some of the people planning to participate.
The symposium called "Homosexuality and Therapy: The Religion Dimension," had been in the plans for months at the APA convention in Washington, and was to feature advocates for homosexuality including New Hampshire Bishop Gene Robinson of the Episcopal church and was to be moderated by Harvard psychiatrist John Peteet.
Others scheduled to be on the podium included Grove City College professor Warren Throckmorton, who has studied related issues intensively, and Rev. Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
But the event, scheduled Monday, has been yanked from the schedule, according to the APA, because of the "misinformation and rhetoric" that was circulating about the issue.
Peter LaBarbera, of Americans for Truth, said the reaction to a plan to talk "shows the intellectual shallowness of the gay side."
"They're afraid of a debate," he said, noting it wouldn't be correct to "paint Warren Throckmorton as the religious right."
"The gay activists don't want to admit ex-gays exist, when they clearly do," he said.
The attack was launched by the Gay City News publication, which on April 24 denigrated Throckmorton as "a psychologist without state board certification and an advocate for 'sexual identity therapy','' and quoted opponents calling him a "spin doctor of the ex-gay myth."

A time for that well regulated malitia to step up to the plate.
There is no place for fornication in the Kingdom.
"Christianity is important to me, because ..."
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"
"Please don't tell me to shut up."
"Hey! We have Freedom of Speech in this country! I can tell you to shut up if I want to!"
"Well, ..."
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"
Liberals are all for people having other ideas, until they realize that the People actually have different ideas from them.
“A time for that well regulated militia to step up to the plate.”
I’m beginning to agree. I’m getting a bit sick of all of these folks stopping things at their whim. Perhaps we should start getting militant and begin to interrupt their meeting when they “offend” us. These lefties are getting a lot like the Muslims. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
The press ceertainly knows how to use the word when it's their ox being Gored.
"You're outta here. Go home."
"You can't tell me to go home. blah blah blah
"Put your hands when I can see them. You're under arrest for disorderly conduct."
"Don't taze me bro!"
I have a feeling whoever created that little poster is lucky the soldiers in the photo don’t know about it.
