Thanks.

It’s been awhile. Finally got my computer up and running again…

Anyways, the review was another tired, cliched, collection of straw man arguments. The author was stupid enough to ask the following question (paraphrased): if a patient wanted to go from straight to gay, would Wrights and Cummings help him out? The author was making a poor attempt at wit, as he expects the reader to see this as a rhetorical question (he thinks the answer would be an obvious “no”). However, little does he know that Wright and Cummings WERE involved in supporting gay rights within the APA, and so the answer to the author’s question would be a resounding YES.

You are right, he has no idea of who Wright and Cummings are. Ignorance is (un)bliss.

YES they would help a patient go gay, and YES they would help a patient go straight.

By the way, if you want, I can give you the details about my re-orientation therapy, and maybe you can post it or something.

In fact, most people would be surprised at what actually goes on.

Here’s a hint: the line between re-orientation therapy and gay-affirmative therapy gets seriously blurred, but in a way that helps me create the type of life I want to live.

I also wanted to ask what your opinion was of Exodus quoting of Paul Cameron (and they do that a great deal, actually). I understand you said you do not use Cameron — I assume there must be a reason — and neither would I. But Exodus does.

Paul Cameron’s joining of the harijans occured 20 years ago. Academics avoid him like the plague. Yet Exodus does not?

Are you saying you see the Paul Cameron issue as a political one?

I know there are loons out there. I deal with several each day. But Cameron was “done” over the worst possible professional “crime” — if he was just a loon that wouldn’t matter. I’m talking about his “body of work”.

If you are not too familiar with hs work — you should be.

Ditto, Paris Hilton. Forewarned is forearmed.

This is VERY SERIOUS.

You will NOT export Paris Hilton. Starbucks was more than enough.

Wars have started over less. If you have any influence, please pass this on.
