The Scientology cult's founder, L. Ron Hubbard, was a white American middle-class male who grew up in the early 20th century. It is not surprising, then, to learn that he was a racist and homophobe, and that there are many examples of these sentiments in his written and recorded works. What is surprising is that in the year 2008, the Scientology cult continues openly to embrace Hubbard's extremely offensive statements, and refuses to make even the smallest gesture to repudiate or reject Hubbard's hateful views.

      Gays and Lesbians:

(In his book "Science of Survival,: Hubbard establishes a "tone scale," ranging from -3 to +4, for classifying categories of people and evaluating human behavior. "Perverts," as he classified lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people, fall at 1.1 on Hubbard's scale. He considered them to be extremely dangerous to society.)

[Sephirah]

"There are only two answers for the handling of people from 2.0 down on the Tone Scale, neither one of which has anything to do with reasoning with them or listening to their justification of their acts. The first is to raise them on the Tone Scale by un-enturbulating some of their theta by any one of the three valid processes. The other is to dispose of them quietly and without sorrow."
Hubbard, "Science of Survival"

This... defies belief.

The stench of 'cult' pervades that organisation like that of a week-old Limberger stuffed into a quarterback's undergarments.
