But Perkins goes further–his “facts” are taken out of context and are, frankly, untrue. He says:

“There is an abundance of evidence that homosexuals experience higher rates of mental health problems in general, including depression. However, there is no empirical evidence to link this with society’s general disapproval of homosexual conduct.”

But the very next sentence of the study that Perkins’ cites reports that “discrimination may help fuel these higher rates.”

This is a serious omission–in fact, it’s a gross distortion of the truth.

I have seen this kind of selective quoting before….
