We read:
"A discussion on religion, homosexuality and therapy that had been scheduled during the American Psychiatric Association's annual meeting in Washington has been shut down following an attack by a "gay" publication on some of the people planning to participate.
The symposium called "Homosexuality and Therapy: The Religion Dimension," had been in the plans for months at the APA convention in Washington, and was to feature advocates for homosexuality including New Hampshire Bishop Gene Robinson of the Episcopal church and was to be moderated by Harvard psychiatrist John Peteet.
Others scheduled to be on the podium included Grove City College professor Warren Throckmorton, who has studied related issues intensively, and Rev. Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
But the event, scheduled Monday, has been yanked from the schedule, according to the APA, because of the "misinformation and rhetoric" that was circulating about the issue.
Peter LaBarbera, of Americans for Truth, said the reaction to a plan to talk "shows the intellectual shallowness of the gay side." "They're afraid of a debate," he said, noting it wouldn't be correct to "paint Warren Throckmorton as the religious right." "The gay activists don't want to admit ex-gays exist, when they clearly do," he said.

ex-gays = gays-in-denial
One of the anonymous said . . .
ex-gays = gays in denial. Does this mean that you think a person cannot change his lifestyle?
Or perhaps you believe in the gay gene.
Fear not, AIDS will save us.
" Does this mean that you think a person cannot change his lifestyle?"
---Very well, you try it. Go ahead, try to go gay.
Actually, anyone can change a lifestyle, it's the "orientation" you can't change. If I marry a woman for money, does that make me straight? And if I have kids with her to get a trust fund, does that make me heterosexual? Of course not, not if my actions are inconsistent with my nature.
What the ex-gay movement fails to do is achieve real change. Real change would be that the next time Joe Gay walks around the beach, he'll notice women instead of men. That's the true test of sexual orientation. All the ex-gay movement can offer is ex-gays and ex-lesbians living together, pretending to be couples. There is a word for that, and the word is "roommates."
The ex-gay movement cannot offer real change.
Maybe they can convince Joe to date women, even have sex with them, with enough guilt, maybe Joe will make himself believe that he's enjoying what he's doing, that it's the right thing to do. But there's a HUGE difference between doing what others want you to do and doing what you really feel. There are straight men who will sleep with men for money, straight women who will go girl-girl scenes for money or to turn on other men. The only difference is that ex-gays don't do it for money, they do it for religion. But the motivation still remains outside of their true natures.
They ex-gay movement is a lie. Christians want to believe gays can change, so they support the movement. Insecure gays see themselves as flawed, so they give the movement a chance. But in the end, it's mass deception, no different than scientology.
The gays won't debate the gay issue ... that seems about right. They will shove their beliefs down everybody else's throats without giving others the opportunity to express opposing opinions. That sounds about right.

anonymous 2 You right about homosexuals being rabid about imposing their lifestyle on everyone.
That is why I call gay rights crusaders professional victims because they wanna outlaw viewpoints that aren't agreement with theirs.
Gay rights crusaders are professional victims and I use the term victims rather loosely.
The only people being victimized in this crazy world are those who don't bow don't to Political Correctness!
I know there are non-christians who don't believe in this political correct rubbish either!
Just like extremist radical atheists want to outlaw Christianity.
Atheists who hate Christians are really closet Satanists only they're too cowardly to admit!
Let me guess they won't admit worship Satan because all religion is politically incorrect.
In denial aren't you!
I was right you are a satanist why else would oppose Jesus Christ!
If you don't worship satan and you don't believe in Jesus what I said wouldn't offend in the least.
In fact whether I believe in Jesus or not wouldn't bother you at all.
So put that in your pipe and smoke it!
you don't offend me - you astonish me - with your satanist delusions!
I can just picture a debate between gay rights activists on one side, and a devout Muslim on the opposing side. That ought to be really amusing to watch! >:)
