CNN's Psychologist Jeff Gardere: 'Worst Nightmare' Of Gay + Straight Parents To Think Their Kid Is Gay

The amazing mother who defended — and took pride in — her 5-year-old son's decision to wear a Daphne (from Scooby Doo) Halloween costume agreed to speak to CNN about the ridiculous attacks they faced from fellow parents, only to have clinical psychologist Jeff Gardere tell her on-air that gay and straight parents fear their kids might be gay. Unbelievable.

Sarah, who blogs under the name "Cop's Wife," was told by Gardere that "with all due respect, whether your child is gay or straight, I think you kind of outed him by putting him in the blogs. ... I kinda question putting that picture out there that will be out there forever."

This man believes "it is the worst nightmare of both the heterosexual and the gay couples to have to fathom that their child may be gay."

I wrote CNN and commented strongly on the ignorance of this biased psychologist who appeared. I asked that he be removed as a contributor on TV. The silence and tacit approval by the CNN reporter was not too much better.

Good for this mother who is standing by her boy. She should, however, have stated the article by stating, " my son is trans.....or not". Even the supposed psychologist didn't correct this boys mom. Gender expression is so different from sexual orientation!

That's really swell. Be nice to read his retraction though.

Did a google and discovered this guy dubs himself America's Psychologist.

Sort of psychologist pope then?

There's more. Seems this guy also claims to be The Doctor of Real estate.

Dr. Jeff (as he is affectionately known by his clients in both the real estate and counseling fields) has set a new and unique standard of excellence for brokers by achieving a Master of Science degree in Real Estate Development at Columbia University, and both a Masters and Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from the George Washington University.
