You've been nothing but childish ever since you appeared on this thread. You have employed every form of evasion under the sun. I've directed your attention to credible evidence indicating that the APA sold out to the homosexual lobby, caving in to their pressure tactics and bullying. It is clear that the decision to "normalize" homosexuality in the DSM was political, not scientific.

I've directed your attention to Bell & Weinberg's study. I repeat: they are senior research fellows at the Kinsey Institute for Sex Research, and they have stated their heartfelt support for the militant gay rights agenda in the foreword to their book. But the evidence they present is just as destructive to that agenda as anything published by Dr. Cameron.

The attacks against Dr. Reisman and Dr. Cameron are posted entirely on left-wing gay rights websites, or in journals of the APA, which is a puppet of the gay rights movement. Their summaries of the research done by others remain very accurate, and unblemished by criticisms from anyone who is truly unbiased.

The criticism lodged by the ASA revolves principally around the fact that Dr. Cameron is not a sociologist. But you're the one who pointed out, in your defense of Carol Avedon, that one doesn't need to be a mental health professional to be able to tell that a particular journal didn't publish Dr. Reisman's report. Similarly, one doesn't need to be a sociologist to accurately paraphrase articles and reports by sociologists.

Tomorrow I'll be posting, word for word and without any paraphrasing (let alone "interpretation"), several tables of statistics from Bell & Weinberg's landmark study. You will of course find a way to dismiss them as irrelevant: they're too old, they are limited to only one city, or whatever.

But if you really want to disprove them, it is incumbent upon you to find an alternate study -- perhaps more recent, perhaps involving several cities -- proving, with survey statistics to back it up, that homosexuals are no more dysfunctional as a group than heterosexuals.

I cite scientific sources. You claim they're inaccurate, with one lame excuse after another.
