Gay activists are denouncing a nationally syndicated advice show broadcast on a popular Boston radio station for a gay student’s complaint that off-air counselors are condemning homosexuality and steering callers to an evangelical Christian group.
Activists rushed to criticize the show after the student said he was told off the air that homosexuality was a sin on par with murder. Several said that the “Dawson McAllister Live’’ program was masquerading as a mainstream advice show and concealing an agenda to “cure’’ gays.

“This is a set-up for kids,’’ said Arline Isaacson, cochairwoman of the Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus. “They are preying on unsuspecting youth who are very vulnerable.’’

The controversy rippled across the blogosphere yesterday after Greg Kimball, 22, a student at Marian Court College in Swampscott, wrote online about his experience calling the program.
Kimball, who is gay, said he called the show Sunday night to see how they handled a call from someone questioning his sexual identity. Pretending to be a teenager who thought he might be gay, Kimball asked to speak to a representative off the air. He said the person who took his call asked him whether he had been raised religiously. When Kimball said he had not, he said the adviser told him it is “quite common for teenagers raised without church to question their sexuality.’’
Over the next 20 minutes, the adviser compared homosexuality to alcoholism and pornography or drug addiction, saying it was unnatural and as grave a sin as adultery or murder, Kimball said.
“I was disgusted, really appalled,’’ Kimball said. “I said, ‘Is there anything I can do?’ He said I needed to get in touch with God and pray.’’

They would certainly recognize a setup to influence children . . .
TO ALL YOU GAY FOLKS.....STAY OUT OF OUR LIVES....
Why are gays always whining and crying like little girls? Oh wait...
Good point.

Hmmm.
Seems like it would work...
Kettle, pot, and all that....
How dare they give contrary advice and have contrary opinions!!
He’s right. It’s about arrested adolescence and sexual compulsion. Pure and simple. Please don’t go telling me you were born gay. It’s a cop out. Just grow up and get a grip.
Have a gerbil, Kimbell!!!
Why, how DARE they tell him he's off the road???? Don't they realize the road is supposed to be widened so that his perversion is within the norm???
Sounds like a plan to me...HA! maybe they'll stop calling.
Kimball said. “I said, ‘Is there anything I can do?’ He said I needed to get in touch with God and pray.’’

Oh, the horror of such advice!
How can it be within the “norm” when you look at nature? How many times in nature do you see two he’s or two she’s who can create a likeness of themselves without using either a surrogate womb or donor sperm?
As much as they would try to force people to believe that this lifestyle is “normal”, the life they live has got to be difficult and more often than not, it’s more violent! How is that the “norm”?
