IMDB member is sighting NARTH studies as proof that being gay is a choice

[superhippy7890]

I was wondering if you guys could give me some good links to testimonies of people who realized that NARTH was a big lie. I REALLY need these so that this guy will just shut up about how "these studies prove it's a choice".

NARTH, and FOF, and Concerned Women have long patented the above concept. Believe me, you need this information for yourself much more than for them, but it'll do you good. I wish you well in your search. Ask Daniel, I think he was the most recent person to report a knowledge rush.

(edit: Just went back, and I can't seem to find out who posted about their debate)

Peace and Love, Bruce Chris

This should get you started:

Don't quote me on this but I think that the crux of the matter is that NARTH has no peer reviewed studies of their own. When it comes to scientific proof, they can be compared with the Intelligent Design movement.

Two things to look for of note. One of their members advocated the ridicule of potentially transgendered/gay children, and the another suggested that slavery was good, in that African American citizens are better off today in America as a result.

Ask him why he supports a white supremacist organization that condones child abuse.

Awesome clarification!

There's a pretty good resource made for just such a purpose at truthwinsout.org. They just started a side-project RespectMyResearch.org for social scientists to organize and register complaints about FoF and their peers misrepresenting sound research.
