Paul Cameron: Might need to stop ban on reparative therapy w/ violence even though it does not work

Paul Cameron of the Family Research Institute is an “expert” cited by groups like the Family Research Council, Concerned Women for America and the American Family Association, among others in the Religious Right. While his claims have been consistently discredited, Cameron is still a favorite of opponents of gay rights and appeared last week on Crosstalk with Jim Schneider of VCY America (Voice of Christian Youth).

Cameron suggested that President Obama, who recently announced his support for marriage equality, might be gay. He later maintained that “the long term goal of the homosexual movement is to get every little boy to grab his ankles and every little girl to give it a try,” warning that children might be “forced to at least once experience homosexual acts.”

Cameron told Schneider that “we almost need a second American Revolution” to defeat legislation like a bill in California that would limit ex-gay “reparative therapy,” which he warned would make the state take kids away from their parents.

But he went on to say that such “reparative therapy” does not work and instead advocated that homosexuality be made “illegal” in order “to protect our children”.

gay sex is, essentially, better, stronger orgasm, more desirable than straight sex? Paraphrasing, of course, but he sure sounds like he did a lot of "research" on it.

He also came up with that figure about gay men dying by age 42. He determined that scientifically, by reading obits in gay papers during the height of the AIDS epidemic.
