Human Rights Campaign's Mr. Besen...."...Millions of gays are happy, including me."

Hey, millions of schizophrenics may be happy as well, but they are still sick people in need of help.

Ping.

There are so many punch lines for this...so little time.

I'll certainly say the Washington Times was more than fair on this one--can you even imagine reading something this balanced in the New York Times?

(try not to laugh out loud at that idea ;)

But Joseph and Linda Nicolosi, who head the National Association of Research and Therapy of Homosexuality in Encino, Calif., say Stevie is showing signs of "pre-homosexuality."

This psychobabble jibber-jabber indicates that Joseph and Linda Nicolosi are showing signs of "recto-cranial inversion".

"Pre-Homosexuality"?? Sheesh.

[general_re]

Pre-homosexual boys are much more likely to enjoy artistic or social activities, Mr. Nicolosi says.

As opposed to destructive and anti-social activities? Huh?

[EdReform]

BTTT for later...

Human Rights Campaign's Mr. Besen agrees. "They try to masquerade political and religious opinion as science," he says. "Instead of being a researcher of integrity, [Mr. Nicolosi] comes from a viewpoint that being gay is bad. That colors his work.

And . . . Mr. Bensen you come from a view point that being gay is ok(good). Does this not color your work?

Is a little intellectual honest too much to ask?

"It's labeling, which I consider environmental, that sets kids up," she says....children often are told they are homosexual based on their appearances or actions. ..."Can you say that homosexuality is preventable?" she says. "Absolutely, when we quit labeling children."

Huh?

Somebody please explain this Slanderously twisted piece of 'thinking' in terms that even I can understand.

Thanks for posting this and for pinging the index.

"Stevie" isn't like other 5-year-old boys. While his peers are into karate and video games, Stevie tiptoes around the house like a ballerina and plays with Barbie dolls. His favorite colors are pink and red.

What a bunch of BS. All my boys played with Barbie dolls when they were that age, cross-dressed with our 3 hefty-bags of costumes, and one of them preferred the color pink when he had his handprint done on a clay plaque. SO ******* WHAT? To say this leads to gayness is insane. After they put on the dresses, wigs, tutus, and heels, they'd inevitably wind up in a pile of wrestling boys, doing what boys do.

And after dressing and undressing their Barbies a thousand times, they finally cut their hair off, bent their legs to a 90 degree angle from the body, and turned them into 'guns'. End of Barbies.

This is simplistic, however, help the kid by dropping the *cutesy* name. imho anyway.

"Pre-homosexual boys are much more likely to enjoy artistic or social activities, Mr. Nicolosi says."

What the hell is this, his opinion?

What about this: we are told that the problems of Inner City youth today stem largely from the fact that they are raised mostly by their single mothers and grandmothers and they have limited interaction with father-figures.
Do we see higher incidence of homosexuality in those Inner City groups?
I don't think so.
(In any event, any effort to steer a pre-homosexual kid straight is well worth undertaking, of course.)

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

One must consider that the described behavior actually is socially useful. Those who in ever greater numbers are being elevated into positions of power require pleasure boys to ease the burdens of office. The described kids are those who shall provide that "need."

[William Terrell]

"The main thing that is wrong is the idea that there is something 'wrong' with homosexuality. . ."

Could it be considered wrong to put a bridge together using two bolts, two nuts? Same thing with putting a society together using two males or two females.

Hey, millions of schizophrenics may be happy as well, but they are still sick people in need of help.

Your comment reminded me of a bit from a Monty Python sketch:

The Piranha Brothers

Criminologist: (Graham) It's easy for us to judge Dinsdale Piranha too harshly. After all, he only did what most of us simply dream of doing... (tic...controls himself) I'm sorry. After all a murderer is only an extroverted suicide. Dinsdale was a loony, but he was a happy loony. Lucky bastard.
