    Does this woman have an actual phD? If so, it needs to be confiscated.

    I await the chorus of people blaming this on Benghazi with baited breath.

    She has a Psy.D; however, she should still know better either way. The issue is not that she presents homosexuality as being a possibility; it is that her analysis of his mental state isn't even logical. A closeted homosexual suffering with severe mental illness would definitely have the possibility of lashing out, but it wouldn't be in the name of these supposed homosexual impulses. Deeming the cause of this shooting as homosexual impulses is ultimately deeming the 'impulses' of homosexuals and closeted individuals to be geared towards violence.

    The violent backlash of a mentally ill, closeted homosexual would be against those that they have projected their self-loathing on. This line, "Was he angry with women because they were taking away men from him?", isn't even a plausible suggestion of the thought processes of someone in his mental state. Though Ludwig also noted in her book that "homosexuality is rooted in strong mothers and weak fathers", so it is clear she isn't interesting in putting for actual psychiatric work or opinion.

    Elliot murdered seven women because he was too much of a loser to know that no means no and acts like women owe him something when nobody owes him shit.

    This is the lowest thing they've ever done as of late. Don't play the gay card when this was done by a misogynistic douchebag who said women should be put in concentration camps to starve because of the "friendzone". Shut up Fox News and find something worth bitching about.

    I mean, this is the same station that thinks Benghazi is a huge coverup, voter fraud is rampant, and the ACA is communist, so the last part will be hard to do.

    I agree. While it's certainly possible for a gay person to become violent, it's not because of their homosexuality, it's because of the alienation, fear and shame they face due to our homophobic and hetrosexist society. It's pretty sad that people still believe homosexuality is caused by parents, especially someone with a phD.

    Wow... Fox news strikes again. I think that they just look for ways to blame everything on the LGBT community...

    Ya, I know, right?

    Because heaven forbid we actually discuss the real issue, which is rape culture.

    Does Fox News really push this kind of shit?

    I've heard my dad say almost nothing about homosexuality, but he watches Fox News almost religiously. If he actually subscribes to this trash then we're going to have a problem at some point. I'd really, really hate to come out as a result of anger but sadly that seems to be the only chance of it happening at this point.

    mbanema,

    If your Dad watches Fox religiously he may hold to or be influenced by these extreme right wing views that Fox is famous for. This is such common fare that you should not be surprised by its influence on your Dad.
