Dr. Paul R. McHugh, a plenary speaker at this year's Mere Anglicanism conference, served as the Henry Phipps professor of psychiatry, director of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and psychiatrist in chief at the Johns Hopkins Hospital from 1975 to 2001. The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine named him distinguished service professor in 1998.

Lydia Evans, a lay leader in the Diocese of South Carolina, interviewed Dr. McHugh on a variety of topics. They began by discussing the work of Dr. John Money (1921–2006), who was perhaps best known for his supervision and study of David Peter Reimer's gender reassignment.

Religious fundamentalism at it's finest!

Yep.

... but there is scriptural law that comes out of the Old Testament.

Jesus over turned almost every one of the laws and pronouncements of the Old Testament by proclaiming that the 6th commandment, Don't Kill, must be taken literally, then by clarifying the 3rd commandment, that we must never judge each other, (on behalf of God).

All that was left were the 10 Commandments.

It is both sad and astonishing that seemingly intelegent and literate people don't bother to read the Gospels before making such profound pronouncments.

It is also sad, but not entirely surprising that prominant universities such as John Hopkins will allow their academia to be dominated by the dogmatic, the stupid and the ignorant.

I liked the statement that if you are a man and grow up in a rural area you are four times less likely to have a homosexual relationship and most lesbians are college educated.  That "proves" that there is no gay gene.  So you become queer through association with other queers.

How about, you are four times less likely to FIND someone who is gay in a rural area because there are less people to associate with in the first place!!!  It doesn't mean that you don't have less same sex feelings, it means you have less opportunity! 

I believe that there have been studies that show that same sex feelings occur throughout the population regardless of location.

If the queer by association thing was true, that would be that being gay is contagious.  And by inference being trans is contagious as well.

Remind me to sneeze on this clown if I ever meet him.
