Comments on: Geneticist Francis Collins Responds to NARTH’s Dean Byrd http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2007/05/25/389 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Sun, 12 Feb 2012 04:03:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: quo http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2007/05/25/389/comment-page-1#comment-57 quo Sat, 02 Jun 2007 05:18:48 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2007/05/25/389#comment-57 Critising NARTH for being obsessed with theories about the origin of homosexuality seems rather beside the point; surely this is true of most people interested in homosexual issues, both pro- and anti- gay? Furthermore, I find it odd that David Roberts should be complaining that NARTH's theories are old - is he assuming that an old theory cannot be correct? If so, the born-gay theory must be incorrect as well, since in its modern form it goes back to the late nineteenth century, I believe.
