That he pushed this on his show disgusts and also frightens me. This man is hugely popular and influential, especially with female viewers. I don't care how "balanced" this type of crap is in presentation, many will always end up siding with the soft, easy sell of bigotry.

This organization, NARTH, is what they pushed on the show.

NARTH received criticism from the Southern Poverty Law Center for Gerald Schoenewolf's essay, Gay Rights and Political Correctness: A Brief History,^[46] in which the member of NARTH's Science Advisory Committee argued that "Africa at the time of slavery was still primarily a jungle... Life there was savage ... and those brought to America, and other countries, were in many ways better off." He also stated that the civil rights movement, the women's rights movement, and the gay rights movement were all "irrational" and "destructive."^[47] Schoenewolf later clarified that "No person is better off enslaved, obviously... What I tried to say, before my words were twisted by that reporter, is that despite the clear and obvious evil of that practice, we tend to forget that many of the enslaved people had been first been sold into bondage by their fellow countrymen; so coming to America did bring about some eventual good. No social issue has all the 'good guys' lined up on one side and 'bad guys' on the other."^[48]

I said a long time ago that you can't "pray away the gay," nor can you force it (through beatings, reprobations, or otherwise) out of someone who struggles with his or her sexuality. As I see it, each of us is exactly -- exactly -- as God made us. Therefore, one's sexual preferences are not a punishment, a disease, or a cause. And one day, they won't be an issue either (God willing).

I liked the reference to being left handed. People were born that way and forcing change just won't work.
