Adding Fuel to the Fire

The raucous, and mostly hyperbolic, debate over homosexual marriage has been shoved far back on the stove, on a setting below simmer, since the events of Abu Gharib came to light, and other sundry items of temporary national importance flared up.  Articles you read on this issue, now, mostly deal with the brush fires left burning after the initial match was thrown into the gas in San Francisco and other cities.  Reading a few blogs this evening, I stumbled into John Ray’s blog, and was pointed to an opinion piece in the News Weekly, an Aussie publication, written by one Dr. David van Gend, whose credentials you can read at the end of the piece I will soon link to.  van Gend, has been reading some of Dr. Robert Spitzer’s research conclusions regarding homosexuality, and what he has read, may cause a flame up in the homosexual community, and could be used as a flame thrower by those who oppose recognizing homosexual unions styled as marriages.  Two very short excerpts.

"The Titanic of Gay Rights, leaving all in its wake, is about to founder on a large and immovable fact."

...

"The iceberg of clinical fact looming up in the dark is this: that homosexuals who want to become heterosexual can and do change, as authoritative medical research has now demonstrated."

van Gend’s piece is titled “Shuffling deck chairs on the gay ‘Titanic’."

Via Dissecting Leftism.

Spitzer’s paper is not available online, but it can be ordered here for $25.00.
