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.

Right, not having their religious beliefs written into law is exactly like a totalitarian state. What a bunch of clowns!

Brian Brown’s worried where he’s going to get his pin money now that the gravy train is going off the tracks.

Right. Just like Stalinist Russia.
Except for the “like” part.
Except for the Stalinist part.
Except for the Russia part.
He did, however, get the “just” part exactly right,.

Since Stalinist Russia would readily share his values, I say it is time to fire up “the Way-Back Machine”. Or he could just buy a ticket to Putin’s Russia and feel right at home. I’ll help him pack.

That’s the trouble with an independent judiciary. It’s so, so, so . . . what’s the word I’m looking for . . . independent.

The thing is that Brown is just as unhappy if State Legislatures or the voters at large approve same sex marriage. He’s never happy about it. Ever.

@Ben. I have to disagree with you. With Brian Brown, even the words “just” “if” “and” and “but” are lies. (Hat tip to the late Dorothy Parker.)

Mark F. I like your first point. That is always running through my head when I hear them say “let the voters decide.” I feel like, before that, they said “let the law makers decide,” then changed their tone when that actually happened.
As for your second comment, I think you missed the beauty of Ben’s word play:
“Court-legalized same-sex marriage is just like Stalinist Russia.”
Became
“Court-legalized same-sex marriage is just.”
The NOM rep did not mean to say that last sentence, but it is true.

Guys, I know we kinda like to lean on Brown because he uses bigotry, but we have to have a bit of pity for him. He has 8 rug rats to feed. He needs a lot of chicken feed to do that.

Brian and his wife chose to have 8 children. I don’t feel sorry for him in the slightest.
