    My roommate just sent me this link that he saw on a forum he frequents. He prefaced it with, "I gotta show you the most disturbing children's book ever."

    And he's right.

    This is more than disturbing this is sick...

    He became gay because of his uncle and the lack of a father figure... there are kids that get abused and don't become gay...

    This gives the impression that family has anything to do with homosexuality and that it's some sort of psychological problem

    Sick sick sick

    that is sick and just pisses me off. I am shocked at how they try to turn children against gays. That is sick and twisted.

    So yeah... I decided to see if I could find more on this book. A quick Google search yielded, as literally the first result, a GLAAD page talking about what sounded like this book. Another quick Google search for the title, and viola.

    Yeah, what a horrible piece of @#$%.

    For anyone who doesn't know, Richard A. Cohen is a well-known advocate of reparitive therapy. He's one of those ex-gays who swears God made him straight. He then became a counselor. One who's been expelled from the American Counseling Association.
    You know. A crazy.

    Here's the wiki entry on him:

    Well, I think that it could be feasable. Psycological reasions can indeed change one's state of mind and leave one in a confused state. Indeed, some people go through this (unfortunet) series of events and not be miffed by it, but it is possible. ...Just a thought.

    I love how the marital discord is totally glossed over with counselling. That's definitely the fundie view of marrige for sure.

    I'm pretty sure that a guy being sexually abused by a guy would probably make him way LESS likely to be gay, quite honestly.

    I can't believe there are books like that out there! Why didn't they just talk about abuse? Why did they have to tie it with being gay?

    That book sickens me. If the library where I work ever buys this book for its collection (which I doubt they will), I will quit on the spot. I won't even give a two week's notice.

    Seriously, what kind of parent would buy that :***: for their children? It's sickening.

    O___O I couldn't even read all of it.
    It's just wrong in every single way and makes me feel physically ill.
    Who's up for a good old fashioned BOOK BURNING? ^____^
