Randy Thomasson of Save California joined Janet Mefferd on Friday to discuss the Queer Studies minor at Cal State Fullerton, and the anti-gay activist called the program an "oxymoron."

    Thomasson: It's an oxymoron, it should be called the promotion of homosexuality, bisexuality, transexuality. They're not studying it, if they studied whether it was normal or not they'd have to hold a news conference or tell all the students, you know what, 'there's no "gay gene," we've never found it, nobody has found it, Hamer didn't find it, LeVay didn't find it, we have noted there are thousands and thousands of former homosexuals and they've got families to prove it, they've got testimonies to prove it, we've seen that a huge amount of those of us in this lifestyle were sexually molested or had very bad relationships with our fathers or our mothers, and we see that this is something that can be changed, certainly with bisexuality. We acknowledge that transexuality, cross-dressing is not normal, cutting off healthy body parts is not natural, it takes a scalpel, and we have no evidence at all that this is a natural thing that people are born homosexual actually and it is a behavior. So we have to announce that as the findings of our study.'
