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.

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.

Riverside? Why would anyone of any means live in Riverside County?????
Ventura I can understand, but Riverside? It’s nothing but desert and getting to Los Angeles for work would be a nightmare!

Scott and John are a very nice down to earth couple.
Palmer, you seem to be forgetting Palm Springs. That is where John and Scott live, along with thousands more LGBT family. Many of us commute to various cities, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and San Diego.

Frank, I’m not sure why but I never associate Palm springs with Riverside county.
I guess it’s sort of like Park City, “In Utah, but not of Utah.” “In Riverside, but not of Riverside.”

Y’all are too funny!
Talk about Miracle Day!!
First of all, I was incredibly ASTOUNDED when the last season of Torchwood was filmed in LOS ANGELES!!
Even more astonished to find myself working in the first episode!!
I had to sign a confidentiality contract back when.
I’m a HUGE fan of Dr. Who and Torchwood. And John Barrowman and congrats to him and his cute husband!!!
Actors of any stripe are finding themselves literally ‘all over the map’ these days.
Los Angeles has gained a few people from across the pond, lately.

Considering the number of British, Canadian, and Australian actors working in American films these days, I’m never surprised at where anyone turns up.
And I have to say, after not watching TV for literally decades, I was blown away by Torchwood. Barrowman — along with the rest of the cast — immediately gained “hero” status.
Congrats to them.
