Focus on the Family Spreading Misinformation on APA Gay Views

March 20, 2008 by Andy Towle

Focus on the Family posted an article on their ‘citizenlink’ website with an exuberant Randy Thomas, executive vice president of “ex-gay” group Exodus International, claiming that the American Psychological Association is shifting in its attitude that homosexuality is inborn in a new brochure.

Thomas_2Thomas takes his joy from a passage that states “there is no consensus” among scientists about what makes a person gay which ultimately says no conclusions can be drawn.

What the article to the Fundie flock does not include, however, is the huge section that says “ex-gay” therapy is basically a crock.
