I would categorize this as a form of child abuse. If adults want to voluntarily submit to this kind of therapy, I have no problem with it, but forcing children into this kind of psychological abuse is just wrong. >> ^VoodooV:

Unfortunately, stuff like this swings both ways. Ban abortion, but people will still have abortions, they'll just go underground or women will resort to injuring themselves in order to miscarriage.
Ban shithole organizations like this, and they just go underground. Isn't that kinda how Marcus Bachmann's clinic does it? They don't directly come out and say their services are for trying to convert homosexuals, but that's what it's for.
Still, its progress, but preferably, I'd prefer not to resort to a law. People can't be forced to accept homosexuality. I want hate like this driven into the open, not hidden underground. Education is what changes people's minds on stuff like this, not laws.

Yeah but delegitimizing it does do something. This is a psychological thing and parents can fuck up their gay kid just by talking and being mean to them. Abortion is a physical thing though that can seriously harm or even kill someone if done improperly so it makes sense that a doctor should be the one to perform it.

They can hide but some won't want to test it and this will definitely bring the number down if anything.

Flash mobs aren't cool anymore. I too thought they were sweet when I first saw them..but they have definitely run their course and have joined the ranks of the Macarena and parachute pants.


thanks for the update, voodoo. things have been so much easier since you become the authority on what's cool. so, pixie sticks? cool or uncool? thanks, twat (i heard people in paris think using twat as a term of endearment is cool. confirmation?).

The song sucks. Not the message, just the song, a pedestrian ripoff of "Express Yourself."
Bad Romance is awesome, tho.


Eh art is all a ripoff, lets just enjoy stuff instead of comparing registers.

>> ^peggedbea:

so... do i have to be a seething, self-loathing, latent homosexual with a terrifying, sociopath wife to get a an army of gay barbarians to dance to gaga outside of my office????


No, but apparently it works.

"Marcus Bachmann hasn't found the right position."

the only doctored things in Marcus Bachmann's life are his heterosexuality, and his competence as a therapist.

Dan Savage has some interesting words on why we go after Marcus so much. The world is changing.

No, because you have to be politically correct about political incorrectness.>> ^handmethekeysyou:

"Her husband, Dr. Marcus Bachmann is drawing heated criticism for his highly questionable stance on homosexuality."
Can't we calll this "his ignorant stance on homosexuality" yet? When do we get to do that?
