I believe he meant to say anti-gay acitvist researcher.

Question remains, how does that man face himself in the mirror each morning?

““Of course, if we threw out the work of every gay-activist researcher accused of being involved in a personal scandal, there would be no literature on their side of the issue, would there?”

I couldn’t have said it better myself!”

Reker’s work wasn’t thrown out because of a personal scandal. It was thrown out because it was shown to be wrong and that Reker’s distorted what really happened. The personal scandal was merely a clue as to why Reker’s may have been driven to distort the facts.

this article was little more than a fluff piece for Nicolosi to spew more of his nonsense to someone who wouldn’t challenge anything he said. I think the most telling part is this:

VIRTUEONLINE: Will you ever treat someone who comes to you involuntarily or who is coerced by a parent with the statement, “my son is gay, fix him”.

NICOLOSI: Treatment would not work, so why bother? We could expose the young man to our ideas for a session or two, so that he could have some balance against what the other side is saying, but that would be about it.

He claims treating a child whose parents want Nicolosi to “fix” would do no good and yet he took the Kendalls’ money for far more than “a session or two.” And rather than ask the obvious follow-up question, the interviewer instead suggests it was Anderson Cooper who lacked objectivity.

That gay people have higher rates of psychological disturbance, doesn’t mean this differential cannot be traced to external events, that is, to events unrelated to sexual orientation. In Murphy’s case, the physical abuse he suffered by the hands of his father – and the fact that, in the words of his siblings, he was made to feel different from everyone else due to that therapy – seems a much more relevant fact to take into account when explaining his depression, than his sexual attraction to men. People who are ostracized and isolated are more likely to suffer from psychological disorders – and we know gay people are more likely to be slighted, ostracized, and bullied than heterosexual persons. Nicolosi’s answer shows the base reasoning abilities behind his anti-gay activism.

jimb…

I’m trying to recall the personal scandals of the “gay-activist researchers’.

I don’t recall any personal scandals for Quzi Rahman, Gary Gates, Scott Hershberger, William Byne, Simon LeVay, Dean Hamer, or really anyone at all.

So perhaps you’d like to clarify exactly what “gay-activist researcher accused of being involved in a personal scandal” that you and Dr. Nicolosi are thinking of.

Homosexually oriented men tend to find themselves entwined in excessively close friendships with women-particularly, with narcissistic women who do not understand that men cannot in a healthy way, be their “best friends” – and this reactivates old, negative memories of unhealthy entanglement with their mothers.

It always strikes me that these guys are unintentionally describing themselves.
