Tonight at midnight Eastern, 9:00 p.m. Pacific, BTB will unveil a major investigation that has been nine months in the making. It is about what happened when a psychologist told the parents of a very young boy that their son was too sissy, and that if something wasn’t done the boy would grow up to be gay. The parents were eager to avoid that fate. So after nearly a year of experimental treatment, the young boy was declared “normal.” The psychologist went on to become a well-regarded expert in gender and sexual identity in young children on the strength of this breakthrough, and he wrote about his famous case in twenty different papers, articles, chapter and books during the course of his career.
But what happened to that little boy?
In “What Are Little Boys Made Of?”, an original BTB investigation, we talk to that young boy’s family to unveil the truth behind that experimental treatment program and how it affected that little boy. And not just that little boy, but his entire family as well. It all goes live tonight right here on BTB at midnight Eastern, 9:00 p.m. Pacific.

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.

Part 1: What’s Love Got To Do With It?
Part 2: Parents Struggle With “No Exceptions”
Part 3: A Whole New Dialect
Part 4: It Depends On How The Meaning of the Word "Change" Changes

At last, the truth can now be told.

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch Study” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
The FBI’s annual Hate Crime Statistics aren’t as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

This doctor is a stupid quack making a “name for himself” and this is just a very young boy for heaven sakes!
This young boy is obviously far smarter than his parents and his doctor combined!
They all need to chill out and just let this boy grow and be a kid. He doesn’t need this quack doctor and he needs a new set of parents with some smarts.
