A friend of mine, a clinical psychologist, has told me that it is noncontroversial within her discipline that at least some homosexuals are made, not born -- and that the right course of treatment can reverse their orientation. However, she's also said that none of her colleagues would ever say such a thing in public, nor would she herself.

What staggers me is the depth of dishonesty that lies beneath the homosexual-activist community's attempt to have it both ways. On the one hand, the "born, not made" position attempts to present the homosexual as an unwilling victim of natural forces, who should be pitied, not censured, and certainly not excluded or feared. On the other hand, the "gay is good" campaign attempts to persuade us that there's nothing but sex going on here, and that the homosexual's drastically reduced lifespan and exaggerated prevalence to various terrible diseases are things we can't fairly associate with sexual practice.

With the accumulation of evidence that at least some homosexuals can be (pardon the pun) straightened out, the gay-activist community must be gripped with fear. The activists know full well that many of the people they claim to speak for would dearly love to be relieved of their affliction -- but any reduction in the size of that group, actual or perceived, reduces the activists' influence in the national arena. They would apparently prefer the perpetuation of the misery of others to any diminution of their own political stature.

It is always thus with special-interest groups. If there were a group that promoted the interests of coprophages, they'd do anything to swell the ranks of that affliction, without regard for the effects on the sufferers, or for that matter on American cuisine.

Your friend is not saying anything because she could lose her license to practice psychology in her state as well as standing in any professional organization. That would make her open to lawsuits. She and her colleagues could be ruined. That is power.

What kills me is that, like the Nazies, they can tell who is gay and not gay, while I cannot tell them how to behave in their bedrooms. What right do they have of qualifying people when they refuse others to qualify them for waht they are: Gay Nationalist Socialists.
