How radio shock doc Laura Schlessinger learned to stop worrying and love the gays

The classic nature versus nurture argument.

Right. That you don't create a homosexual by having a close mommy. All I said was exactly the same as the activists have said for 50 years—that it's a biological error when a person is attracted to a person of the same sex, biologically, as opposed to someone of the opposite sex, because that's not the reproductive pressure. That's all I said. That's it! I didn't put anyone down. My two best friends in the world are—shock!—gay men. I have a ton of gay friends. I even have a brand-new transsexual friend. I have no problem with them, and they have no problem with me. But my name was used to raise a lot of money for GLAAD. I have a problem with using my celebrity, my fame, my name, in order to make their bones. That was just evil. Really horrible. Because I never put anyone down. That was a total abject lie. And the irony of this was that, while GLAAD was selling t-shirts saying, "I am not an error," the exact quotes were actually on GLAAD. No one ever read them. And it all gets repeated, repeated, repeated, and no matter how many times I say anything live on air, or write in a column, it doesn't matter.
