@Kevin
Like William I haven’t read Brown’s book either, but I have debated him on this blog and read a bit about him. It was clear to me that Brown is more interested in pushing his own anti-gay agenda than participate in any reasonable debate on sexual orientation or gay rights.

@ ken, I’m right with you bud, I too, would like to know what rights have been denied.
Where does this Brown, and that self-aggrandizing charlatan, Cindy Jacobs, come up with these fantasies?
Oh, and speaking of charlatans…how is George Rekers doing?

This kind of stuff ticks me off so much. I’ll bet you a KJV Bible that these guys decry lumping all Christians into some hateful, Westboro Baptist, group, but they don’t seem to mind doing it to other groups. This seems like such an obvious thing that I find it shocking when I see intelligent people doing it. I wonder if these people even remember what the Golden Rule is all about?

At what point does “leaning left” mean what was once “in the middle” or simply “reasonable” when the “right” is racing so fast in the other direction?
As for Brown, NARTH really went for the bottom of the barrel in their decision to bring him in. If you will notice, he hasn’t spoken at LWO since Exodus took it over — to their credit. If NARTH really felt the need to have a religious leader speak at their conference (a dubious choice in the first place), they certainly could have done much better than him.
The race to the margins has not only begun, it’s in full sprint.

@ Kevin…
I haven’t read Brown’s book .. but I have read a review of it from someone I trust .. Additionally I have blogged with him and visited his website. His so called documentation is really proof texting (lifting things out of context) to satisfy his own personal agenda … which .. apparently .. is to vilify gay and lesbian folks (and transfolks as well). It is one thing to have a moral position .. it is quite another to have a vendetta (seeking to vilify and misrepresent those you disagree with)… Unfortunately this is what Dr. Brown seems to be doing along with .. sadly .. many others.
