TPM Reader CS on Mullah Dobson and his gospel of conversion from homosexuality …
RE Dobson’s decision not to help the Rev. Ted Haggard convert to heterosexuality.
Okay, so here’s Dobson, the leader of America’s anti-gay lobby, telling us he’s not going to bother working on curing Haggard cuz it’ll take too long. This from the “movement” whose only rational argument for discrimination rests entirely on the (wrong) assumption that homosexuality is a behavior of choice — and demonstrably curable.
You’d think Dobson et al would embrace the opportunity to deploy the latest in Exodus-style conversion therapy, especially on Haggard, one of their own most glaring and needy cases. Imagine the PR value! If the almighty priests of family values can “restore” Haggard, they can restore anyone, guaranteed!
But I guess it’s not that important, or maybe it’s a game Focus on the Family knows it can’t win.
