NPR Interview: “Homosexuality Panel Squelched by Gay Activists”



NPR interviews David Scasta (just over 10 mins.). The summary of the interview indicates:

Gay psychiatrist David Scasta organized a panel on religion, homosexuality and therapy that claims to “cure” people of being gay. It was to include openly gay Bishop V. Gene Robinson and conservative Christians who call homosexuality a sin. Scasta had high hopes for the panel, but after infuriated gay activists complained, he called it off . . .

“If you literally believe in a literal hell where you are going to burn and fry and be in excruciating pain not just for a moment but for eternity because you’re a gay person, then how do you go to psychotherapy in which somebody like me would be telling you that to have a happy life, in this life, you need to learn to accept who you are?” he asks . . .

    Why are the homosexual agenda activists afraids of science?

    Obviously, to tell a person “to accept himself” is the wrong advice.
