In my post, I say that Peterson referred to the theory, but I didn&#039;t say he agreed with it. If you listen to the segment on NPR, this is quite clear.
I will make it more clear in the post as well.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ann,
&lt;blockquote&gt;What seems to be ignored is the families/parents that have their lives turned upside down when confronted with this news. I have heard them &#8211; their pain is unbearable. What makes it worse is the scorn they receive from others who think they should just get over it or, worse, the indifference they face from those who do not know how to console them or who just don&#039;t care. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
This sounds like some gay parents I know.  I think more resources need to be made available for the increasingly growing number of gay households.  I read recently that gay households grew (thanks to a new census that made it easier to include them) by almost 49%]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Maazi NCO-
&lt;blockquote&gt;If I were a psychiatrist in the United States who held views that gayism was a psychopathology, there is a strong likelihood that I will strive to keep my views strictly to myself to protect my professional career and social standing in the American society&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Your social standing??? LOL! Look when the Mayor of New York City and the Governor of the State of New York, and the Governor of California (our 2 biggest states) not just endorse, but actively campaign to end the DISCRIMINATORY Laws against gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender citizens you can see that the MAJORITY opinion in the United States of America is FOR Equal Civil Rights for gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender United States Citizens. And MAZZI if you kept your views private it would ONLY be to stop from being laughed at because YOU are in the official minority now. You have neither science nor public opinion on your side, so you would &quot;hide&quot; your views because your views are NOT NORMAL, no longer publicly acceptable EXACTLY like the Americans of old who insisted that AFRICANS were inferior and should be slaves to the white people, those white people who thought that were no longer publicly acceptable. You are one of those guys that centuries ago would STILL be claiming the World Is Flat. Science and the population has progressed, YOU are stuck in a rut of BIGOTRY. Sorry Mazzi I tells &#039;em likes I sees em.
And you NEVER did answer me if you found these two women who got married in New York and Abomination. Yeah you walked away from that question, I guess not enough of a man to answer it. Mazzi are these two women an ABOMONATION or NOT??? Come on, answer the question.

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Thank you for your reply to me. As it amply confirms the assessment which I had already tentatively formed of your character and mindset...&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I am certainly not of the character and mindset of  the current Ghanaian President  who does not have the BALLS to respond to the Ghanaian peoples&#039; demand that he acts against gayism. Neither am I of the character of Raila Odinga who is happy with his role as chief lickspittle for Europe and America. Uganda is blessed with fearless people and together we are working to codify our objections to Western decadence.
&lt;blockquote&gt;it would be a waste of time to prolong the discussion, so I shall not do so.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I completely agree. No need to continue inundating me with gay propaganda]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[William
I think that, in a sense, &#039;Maazi NCO&#039; has been &#039;playing a part&#039;, pumping out a kind of &#039;party line&#039; (the almost complete lack of variation in his* dialectic/rhetoric seems to point to this - I think that people who are speaking from personal conviction usually recapitulate things, at least up to a point).
* &#039;Maazi&#039; has in the past told us that he is male, by the way.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[FOSHA: I have not read Nicolosi&#039;s work, so I would not presume to be definitive, but based on what I know from the popular media about such methods (whether this applies to his or not, I do not know) leads me to strongly oppose such efforts&#8211; and view them as misguided at best, and dangerous at worst.
Is anyone else surprised by the fact that Fosha stated her opinion was based on what she knows from &quot;the popular media&quot;? Since when is the popular media a reliable source of information?]]></description>
