[Bryan] It's a bit more difficult than pointing and clicking with your mouse on the "Queer Resources Directory" website, but somehow, I'm sure you can manage if you're interested. I've provided all the information necessary for you to find it ....

[You] Thank Dr. Cameron for me if you happen to see him.

I thought this exchange was interesting. Bryan said he'd supplied cites, and you.......you said what, exactly?

Could it be that you meant to say that, unless Bryan typed in, or cut and pasted, or republished each and every one of the source studies here in this forum, that you are unwilling to believe they exist, and that they are all fabrications and distortions by Paul Cameron?

Is there something further Bryan could have done to satisfy you that the conclusions he posts are valid?

Or are you dismissing inconvenient evidences with a wave of the hand, polemically?

Perhaps you could help clear this up a little.

And while we're at it, perhaps we could get back to your bottom line. I infer from your comments that:

1. There are no ethical studies in the scientific literature that would tend to document complaints in Free Republic against homosex.

2. Any expression of view along those lines must carry a moral incubus on the person expressing the view.

3. You have no responsibility to refute, but only to challenge and accuse, to establish 1. and 2.

So far you've complained about misuse of studies and Paul Cameron and Judith Reisner ad hominem. You've claimed a champion who you say refutes one or both -- but you haven't posted Dixon here, but only incorporated his challenge by reference. So, how is that form of argument different from Bryan's, or Cameron's? Why should we believe your sources? Because a committee of gay psychiatrists on guard-dog duty at APA endorses your man Dixon?
