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.
Prologue: Why I Went To “Love Won Out”
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.

Sen. McCain is desperately running to the right in an attempt to hold onto his seat. There was a time, years ago, when I actually had some level of respect for Sen. McCain. Those times are long gone. Hopefully this bigot will retire from the Senate soon

I really feel sorry for Megan and Cindy. They must cringe EVERY time he gets up to speak in the Senate, never knowing what kind of batsh!ttery will fall out of his mouth on any given day.

People certainly complain about Obama a lot, but I’m so glad McCain didn’t win. Can you imagine the ultra Conservative, gay-hating people he would have nominated for the Supreme Court?

Interesting that at one point, john mcpain said that he would support the repeal if the senior leadership at the pentagon supported it. Now we have most of the seniors supporting it and john mcpain blocking the defense bill because of DADT, what a typical politician. The sad part is now I live in AZ because the military transferred me and my partner here.

Does anyone remember McCain right after the Bush Tax cuts for the rich saying on TV: “This is bad legislation!”
But then when it came time for him to run for president, he reversed himself and supported the tax cuts.
That’s when I lost all respect for him, and he hasn’t failed my feeling of distain ever after.
He’s a geezer, and while we didn’t have TV and the internet to record the bigots during the civil Rights Movement, we do now, and he will go down in history with a sh!tty legacy.
What I want to know is where are the voices of Cindy and Megan now?

I’m so tired of these clowns in Arizona. Isn’t it about time for the place to shape up and send their Republican circus packing?

This PFC Manning exemplifies the rationale for keeping gays out of the military, because they tend to be a security risk.

Louis, you’re trolling. And your argument is completely ridiculous and your trolling obnoxious. Benedict Arnold is the best example of why straights should be kept out of the military. There is no evidence to suggest that gays are a security risk any more than anyone else. If you want to make arguments here, make sure you have evidence to back it up. You have posted nearly a dozen comments here with not virtually no source citations for your empty assertions. Aphorisms are not arguments.
