A College Psychology Professor's Observations About Public Policy, Mental Health, Sexual Identity, and Religious Issues
So now it is settled. When WorldNetDaily comes into the biological determinism camp, can the entire conservative world be far behind? Anti-soy crusader, Jim Rutz, writing in his WND column this morning says this:
No study says that soy dooms a child to homosexuality, but it’s not hard to believe that at some point during pregnancy babies are hardwired for sexual preference. (See the Psychological Medicine article in endnote 27 below.)

Recently, I took some exception to the outdated article, “Why Isn’t Homosexuality Considered A Disorder On The Basis Of Its Medical Consequences?” by Kathleen Melonakos. It was posted on the NARTH website and reprinted at Lifesite News but has now been pulled from the site. You can still read it at the Lifesite News page. I commend Dave Pruden and the NARTH leaders who are taking seriously these concerns for accuracy.
UPDATE: 1/5/06 – A commenter pointed out that the Melonakos article has now been pulled from the Lifesite News site. So this link does not work. For future reference, one can find it on other sites around the web.
Yesterday, Focus on the Family released a reaction to an article written by Jennifer Chrisler, of Family Pride, in Time magazine. Ms. Chrisler’s article was a rebuttal to an article by James Dobson.
In Jennifer Chrisler’s original Time article, she wrote:
According to the 2000 census, the vast majority — more than 75% — of American children, are being raised in families that differ in structure from two married, heterosexual parents and their biological children.
However, in the current Time article online, she writes:
According to the 2000 census, the vast majority — more than 75% — of American households differ in structure from two married, heterosexual parents and their biological children.
I discovered this discrepancy this morning when I was preparing to blog about the Focus on the Family rebuttal.
Maggi Gallagher posted a letter from Jennifer Chrisler explaining a bit more about the matter.
Obviously Time corrected it but it is unclear how it initially came to their attention.
There is an unconfirmed report that the US Census may ask Ms. Chrisler to refrain from quoting Census data…
It was bound to happen. Combine booze, sports and reindeer and it was just inevitable.
