  • Exodus International and Al Mohler: Agree or Disagree?

    June 27th, 201110:47 AM ET
    As I noted last week, Southern Baptist Seminary’s President Rev. Albert Mohler recently told a reporter that evangelicals have “lied about the nature of homosexuality” and reinforced his sentiments at the recent Southern Baptist Convention conference. I think it is going to take awhile for Rev. Al Mohler’s words about evangelicals and ...

  • Lothar Machtan comments on Bryan Fischer's Holocaust theory

    June 07th, 201001:55 PM ET
    Over the last couple of weeks, Bryan Fischer made a series of claims regarding homosexuality and the Holocaust. He summarized his arguments in an article on the RenewAmerica website: Homosexuality gave us Adolph Hitler, and homosexuals in the military gave us the Brown Shirts, the Nazi war machine and six million dead Jews. In making his case...
  • A view inside Martin Ssempa's anti-gay campaign in Uganda

    February 17th, 201011:50 AM ET
    Since October of last year, Uganda has been the focus of international attention due to a proposal in their Parliament which would ban homosexual behavior of any kind via the death penalty for HIV people who engage in homosexual behavior and life in prison for others who attempt such behavior. One of the chief supporters of the Anti-Homosexuality B...
  • Should the US follow Uganda on homosexuality?

    February 06th, 201007:58 PM ET
    I suppose it was bound to happen. The Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Bill has brought out some of the schisms among social conservatives over homosexuality. Christianity Today notes just two examples: Peter Sprigg's comment on Chris Matthews and Bryan Fischer's misuse of I Timothy 1. On Tuesday, MSNBC's Chris Matthews interviewed Peter Sprigg of the ...
  • AFA radio host Fischer says legal sanctions on homosexuality are biblical

    In a column on the American Family Association website, Bryan Fischer, host of the AFA broadcast Focal Point said the New Testament teaches that the state should criminalize homosexual behavior. A listerner to one of his broadcasts on the AFA radio network complained that he incorrectly suggested legal sanctions on homosexuality. Mr. Fischer d...
  • Shame and Attachment Loss: Reparative therapy and father-son estrangement

    September 18th, 200910:24 AM ET
    Picking up the narrative on the new book from Joseph Nicolosi, Shame and attachment loss: The practical work of reparative therapy, I want to focus on the family dynamics Nicolosi proposes to be at the source of male homosexuality. There are two basic types of family soil which Nicolosi believes grows some same-sex love: the "classic-triadic f...
  • Joseph Nicolosi's Shame and Attachment Loss

    September 17th, 200909:47 AM ET
    Trying to keep up on the new developments in reparative therapy, I purchased NARTH's co-founder Joseph Nicolosi's new book, Shame and Attachment Loss: The Practical Work of Reparative Therapy. This post is not a review but more of a prep for a review. I am going to provide some excerpts and comments which may form the basis for a more formal review...
  • Thoughts on the Sexual Reorientation Wars: Time for a truce?

    August 12th, 200903:18 PM ET
    So now that the dust has started to settle from the APA convention in Toronto, let's review the status of the Reorientation Wars. Does therapy change orientation? In anticipation of the APA's report, NARTH fired an opening salvo with their paper (What Research Shows...). Perhaps sensing, incorrectly as it turns out, that the APA would advocate a ...
  • Has the APA altered guidance on homosexuality?

    July 14th, 200906:16 PM ET
    The Southern Voice has an article regarding the recent breathless, echo-chamber enhanced series of articles from some conservative blogs and news services about changes in the American Psychological Association statement regarding sexual orientation. As I noted awhile back, the recent flurry was not new news. My first blog about it was when NARTH'...
