"I don't care if I was raised by Rosie O'Donnell I wouldn't be gay."

That would scare even the most flamingest of faggots straight.

And no, that doesn't mean Clint Eastwood, you or I can be turned gay. Something triggers a child early in development, around the time they become sexually aware to be gay. Trama, via molestation is identified as one cause, or it could be a simple as a small child dressing in his mothers clothes at that critical moment and getting aroused, and a stupid parent encouraging it because it's cute, not realizing whats happening.
The exact moment isn't in the persons memory, but it's there subconsciously. And it could be any of a number of things that are happening around that critical time.

These days, more and more it's conditioning. A child can be brainwashed into thinking that sexual deviancy is normal in preschool and kindergarten years, and that's exactly what the gay movement is trying to do. Then sexual deviancy and actual homosexual tendencies becomes blurred.

Homosexuality is a learned behavior and is engaged in as part of a mental illness. None, not one shred of any evidence suggests otherwise. It was removed from the DSM because of political reasons, not because of any scientific breakthrough. In fact every valid scientific study done on the topic shows its a mental disorder.

The people who need help for their mental problems the most are the members of the American Psychological Association.

Yes they do. Far too many in high places are homosexual.

“Science is not consensus; and science based on consensus is not science, but propaganda.”

Stealing this for my tagline. Thanks!

One of the most important thing I learned when getting my degree in psychology.

Okay. Makes sense.

Psychologists Stanton L. Jones and Mark A. Yarhouse will announce on August 9, 2009, at the annual convention of the American Psychological Association the newest results from their groundbreaking longitudinal study of a sample of men and women seeking religiously mediated sexual-orientation change through involvement in a variety of Christian ministries affiliated with Exodus International, results that challenge the supposed consensus. The presence of two former presidents of the APA, Dr. Nicholas Cummings and Dr. Frank Farley, to discuss these findings underscores the significance of the study.

They better have ten bus loads of riot police scheduled to be there, with the heaviest possible weaponry available.

Dear Leader and his minions don’t know what “angry mob” means. Of course, the minions of the same “angry mob” are those who brought out the APA’s groundless ruling that homosexuality was NOT a disorder many years ago. That was based on thin air alone, and was instead a result of years and years of lobbying, protesting and violent activities at APA meetings, and was simply a concession by the APA to try to gain control over their events.

It is amazing how long ago those of us with a thinking brain in the head on our shoulders left these leftist organizations. It seems some of them may finally be discovering that a good portion their memberships are very opposed to their proselytizing.

Recently: APA, here. American Chem Ass’n (Chem & Eng’r News), Amer. Physics Ass’n, a raft of scientists in the Nat’l Academy of Sci., significant scientists whose research was part of the IPCC reports including lead researchers, AARP, and dare I say, the GOP?

Perhaps we’re finally getting through to them.

Get an “Orientation Therapy Subsidy” amendment smuggled into ObamaCare and the whole bill will be dead in 10 seconds.

A supposed consensus of science is invoked in support of such claims.

All leftist pap is presented as settled science, just like global warming. That is supposed to stifle discussion where the idea is sure to fail.
