I don't believe that Jesus should be pushed in public school but then if gaiety is pushed maybe we need to do that also.
I think you meant if homosexuality is pushed, not gaiety.

Gay ‘barbarians’ storm Bachmann clinic demanding to be ‘disciplined’ (Video) – LGBTQ Nation

There's video on the link. It's funny and pathetic at the same time.

Why should anyone take seriously a group like this who uses guerrilla tactics to get their point across. Going into a private business to throw glitter around when they are denied access.

Private clinic, nobody twists anyone's arm to go there for treatment.
what can I say, first thing comes to mind, animals no wonder they're gay. they have bird brains, undeveloped bird brains!!

Perhaps offering help to those that don't want to be gay is something that backfires at times, but psychology is a "practice" in every sense of the word. Many receive years of psychological therapy, only to end up turning to drugs for relief of their illness, such as depression.
I am thinking that a better approach for the gay community would be to start their own church. When people disagree with fundamental principles of one chapter, they start another, such as the Lutherans, Protestants, and Baptists did. Why not start a gay Christian church, instead of turning your hatred toward the entire belief system. I know there are Christian Animal Rights groups. You don't have to discard God, because of one principal that you disagree with. Christianity can embrace many differnt views of what is required of us. iow don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Is it "correct" for a dubiously qualifed "therapist" to scam gullible self-loathing people out of good money for non-evidenced based, unethical, quack "treatment" that doesn't work and can be harmful?

Is it "correct" for a person to say on the media that gay teens are "barbarians" who need to be diciplined?

Is it "correct" for a person to say that most if not all gay people were sexually abused, when the evidence does not support this self-serving rather nasty claim?

A dozen people dressing up and playing a harmless prank to highlight the ridiculousness of the statements of Marcus Bachmann is not really "correct" I suppose, but it pales in comparison to the malicious anti-gay agenda the Bachmanns and their ilk are pushing.


Thus says Dr. Jaymax.

There is such a church--the Metropolitan Community Church.

No, I meant just what I said. They want to be called gay and I have to call their beliefs gaiety. So many words have new meanings these days and I want to assign some new ones.

Actually most of them probably can breed.

What does the Q in that LGBTQ stand for?
Sounds like a fantasy of yours
