'Maybe he's not gay' prompts homosexual backlash
WND ^ | 1/9/2014 | Cliff Kincaid

Having suffered a major setback when Phil Robertson of “Duck Dynasty” got his job back, the gay lobby is now going for a softer target – a pro-family activist in Ohio whose book, “Maybe He’s Not Gay,” undercuts their recruitment efforts among kids.

Author Linda Harvey, who runs a pro-family ministry called Mission America, seems to have emerged as more of a target than Phil Robertson.

Robertson was suspended – then reinstated – from the show after making comments critical of homosexuality, some of them based on biology and the facts of life, and others on Bible passages.

The “Maybe He’s Not Gay” book “seeks to tell kids the truth about homosexual behavior,” Harvey says. It explains in a conversational tone why no one is born homosexual, the health risks associated with the lifestyle and factors that may lead to same-sex attractions.

Harvey asserts that the homosexual movement is revolutionary and designed to overturn traditional cultural values. “It’s a revolution, both inside the minds and hearts of today’s youth – and in our culture,” her book says.

In response, the pro-homosexual Huffington Post attacked the book as “potentially dangerous” because it suggests children don’t have to engage in dangerous homosexual conduct and that parents can influence how their children turn out. The publication also claimed that Amazon had “pulled” the book in response to homosexual criticism.

Now, I know why FR doesn't accept articles from Huffington.

Has Amazon actually pulled the book? They even sell Mein Kampf on there for crying out loud. Then again... Bezos.

63 leftists, none of whom bought the book, have given in 1 star on Amazon, but it seems to be there. I think conservatives need to start thinking about keeping any psychotic libtards away from their children, no matter if its the mailman or your brother in law.

I understood it was a copyright permissions issue, not a matter of how Huffington carried outrageous and scandalous stuff.

This will never get the exposure that Duck Dynasty receives. I could ask anybody off the street regardless of which side they were on and they would know about Duck Dynasty. This author is not known at all.

My first impression was that it was about Obummer.

It would still have the same attacks.

Gee, they should have had a good old fashioned book burning instead...

"I think conservatives need to start thinking about keeping any psychotic libtards away from their children, no matter if its the mailman or your brother in law."

Start with the teachers. Homos and pro-homos infest our colleges here in Idaho, and judging from young people I've talked with, the high schools, too. I don't have kids, but if I did, I would home school or somehow come up with the money for private school.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

In the article it states that she asked Amazon to pull the book because of the attacks by those who hadn’t even read the book. You can still purchase it through WND or her website. She plans to have it listed on Amazon in the future when the furor has died down.

Just ordered my kindle copy from Amazon, so the rumors of it being pulled are, at best, incorrect. Looking forward to reviewing it on Amazon shortly, despite the obvious irrational hostility in the comments. What a war zone. Obvious Pavlovian conditioning.

Do these people know about Bill de Blasio’s wife? Is she dangerous?

Nothing will get a person in trouble faster than telling the truth.
