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.
Using the same research methods employed by most anti-gay political pressure groups, we examine the statistics and the case studies that dispel many of the myths about heterosexuality. Download your copy today!

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.

The white liberal philanthropist lobby will wag its fingers and continue to give aid to these shitholes.
Great Britain and the U.S. will keep giving to Nigeria and Uganda, because their “support” has always been mere posturing.

I think that GLBTQ taxpayers in first-world countries must pressure their governments to stop sending their tax money as foreign aid to prop up regimes which pass laws like this.

“We Shall Have a War With the Homosexual Lobby of the Worldâ€
It looks like he’s decided to center his re-election campaign on waging war against homosexuals. The election could turn into a contest to see who can demonize and attack gays the most.
This is worse than the Lavender Scare and the anti-gay constitutional amendments in the US. I hope it doesn’t turn into pogroms, which is what is happening in Cameroon and Nigeria.
There’s nothing good about this except it should make it easier to show persecution for the few asylum seekers who can find their way to South Africa, Western Europe and North and South America.

Lucrece, I understand the sentiment, but I assume you are talking about Foreign Aid and not “philanthropy”.
I think oil and natural resources will always be probably the biggest factor in the government+corporate interests in Africa. At least until we drain it dry and then no one here will give a sh*t.
One of the reasons I give to the Rainbow World Fund is that those receiving philanthropic aid will not be able to ignore the connection between my humanitarian values and my wallet.

All U.S. government foreign aid should be abolished. We cant afford it, even to “good” countries.
