I’m attracted to Michael Bussee. Is he single? He’s really hot.

You’re probably right, Timothy. It must be Charlies and not Paul. Yes there are many anti-gays who have gay kids and such.

Like that one woman who joined up with Exodus after she was dumped by her boyfriend who came out.

Talk about bitterness. She may have no idea what it wrought.

Emily,

I think you are mistaken. I don’t believe Paul Cameron has gay kids. Perhaps you are thinking of Charles Socarides?

Many of the other anti-gay activists also have gay kids, siblings, etc.

damn… I lost my bet. I figured Quo would be here spewing nonsense much sooner than 2 days after the initial post.

It’s been said before but hey let’s repeat it: Quo, just because something happened to you that you interpret one way doesn’t mean your experience is universal or even that you are interpreting it properly. But hey, have fun in your misery. The rest of us will be over here—> having fun and enjoying our lives.

Paul Cameron and the co-founders of JONAH also have gay kids. And Paul Cameron is supposed to be an “expert” on curing the gay.

I really want them to make a statement as to how they’ve failed in their parenting (resulting in a gay child). After all, if the “experts” couldn’t get it right, how the hell are “ordinary folk” going to?

When and how did Michael Bussee become an expert on the development of homosexuality, and how exactly would he know that it’s “just not true” that bad parenting causes “gayness”?

Funny that he’d think that theory “just not true”, because it sure seems to me that my homosexuality has plenty to do with the fact that I had bad relationships with my parents.

Could it be that Bussee is denying that bad parents help to cause homosexuality simply out of political correctness? I think so. What sanctimonious tripe.

I remember when growing up that my mother was constantly shaking her head at the TV when someone would get up and blame some person’s behavior or predicament in life on their parents. This seemed to occur on a regular basis on TV in the 70′s and early 80′s. I could really see my mother’s point just from the kids that grew up in my neighborhood. Decent kind people with psycho kids, and total reprobates with great kids.

We went through an era where everything was blamed on parents and parenting, including homosexuality. It would appear that Exodus and NARTH are stuck in that time warp. For the rest of us, these parenting theories of homosexuality that were never supported by strong scientific evidence, are so at odds with the reality of the world around us, that no major medical or psychological organizations give any credence to them.

Strange how many anti-gay power players who preach the gospel that bad parenting turns kids gay later have one of their own children come out.

Phyllis Schaffley
Alan Keyes
Charles Socarides
Tim and Beverly LaHaye

and the list goes on…
