- ... pseudo scientific lies ....

- Nope, actually there are lots of books like this, and it looks like the
- consensus of the scientific/medical community unafraid to be non-PC is that
- homosexuality can be changed in some cases, or problems treated, and taht
- gays have more than their share of psychological problems and uncontrolled
- or unhealthy sexual urges. There was a guy on Today who said that there
- are no cases of psychological homosexuality. Evidently, he's not aware of
- actual medical or scientific facts.
-
- That doesn't mean we can bash gays any more than we should hate blacks becaus
- that group is more prone to crime. It does mean that any talk that gays
- are statistically and psychologically just like anybody else is pure bunk
- for anyone that bothers to dig in the facts (as is drug use and
- promiscuity). Any bunch that simply throws away all relevant facts and then
- stands on no supporting evidence in my mind has some problems.
