Yes Daniel,

I found this article to be very interesting, too. I am moved by Scott Harrison's opinion saying that Mr. Brown, whose quotes I saw in the foyer, wants to create laws that would justify execution of gays, based on Leviticus.

I also have an opinion on this matter: I think that Mr. Harrison wants exgay leaders like Alan Chambers and "reparative" therapy leaders, Nicolosi and Santinover, to be charged on crimes against humanity, similar to the Nuremberg Trial. It seems to me that Scott Harrison is connecting exgay/reparative movement and its leaders with Eichmann and the Holocaust, in my opinion.

That connection already exists to the extent that the anti-gay industry -- which includes much if not most of the ex-gay movement -- is attempting to impose their supremacist views onto the rest of us, the end result of which includes the criminalization of homosexuality. But you can't charge someone with crimes against humanity until they've committed them, and they haven't gotten that far yet.

Harrison clarifies that he believes that these ministries should be allowed to exist, just that their efforts shouldn't be state sanctioned.

So I guess I'm asking why that connection stands out for you with this article in particular?

It also appears that you feel the connection is unfounded, is this the case?

(We can discuss it in the foyer if you think it may be better suited there.)
