Addressing the various, variant thoughts on homosexual behavior

In 1967, as assistant professor of anatomy at the University of Texas
Southwestern Medical School, I talked with Dr. Robert Brown, PH.D. in
psychology, while we were in the school parking lot and pointed out
that a mother, whose daughter was approaching puberty, had nowhere to
turn for medical answers to questions. He and Perry Gross, M.D. (the
general practitioner whom the Dallas County Medical Society voted the
generalist they would choose for their family), and I put together an
elective course in normal human sexuality.

Natasha, you've really outdone yourself to dig up a real steaming pile of ... commentary. G. C. Hoskins, making Texas proud. I suppose I could introduce him to some gay guys I know who menstruate, since he's so eager to meet some. (Perhaps he's got a thing for trans guys?)

On second thought, never mind. I'll just cross my fingers for the Texas sececssion movement to succeed. 

"Attempts to find the problem." He cannot see that his fundamental assumption that homosexuality is "a problem" is indeed a non-objective value judgment.

I found a positive sign in that practically all the commenters, presumably Texans, vigorously refuted that old dinosaur's homophobic ignorance.

Alyssa, tell him about the menstruating gay guys! Oh please! Watch his brain blow a gasket.

QuoteI will consider homosexuality to be a normal variant when male homosexuals menstruate and become pregnant. I have tried to present here an objective view, but an idea conceived in a school parking lot by two doctors sure took us down an interesting road.

He completely ignores the female aspect of female homosexuality.  Perhaps he will feel that lesbianism will be cured when female homosexuals ejaculate and produce sperm.

He may be listed as a MD, however no matter which school a doctor graduates from, there will be a bottom of the list.  Where ever this "MD" graduated from, I'm sure he was not valedictorian.  But I really don't know what the word would be for someone who is the last on the list of graduates.

His ignorance is astounding.

Too many Dr. Browns to look up, but the Perry Gross guy was very well thought of in Dallas and made enough money to give Baylor (a Baptist University) a one million dollar endowment before he retired.  For many years Baylor banned dancing on the school, and for its students - which ought to give some idea of how conservative it is.

Gee, I hope he finds a cure for 'gayness'.  After he's accomplished that maybe he can find a cure for 'ignorance by choice'.

"Doctor, why do you think some people choose to be ignorant?"

"They don't choose to be ignorant.  They are mentally disturbed.  Let's look for a cure!"

After he's accomplished that maybe he can find a cure for 'ignorance by choice'.

Well they are in Texas, so should that happen there are 24,326,974 people waiting for a cure.

Was it Larry the Cable Guy or Jeff Foxworthy who said, "you can't fix stupid"?

Neither, its the trademark line of Ron White, a really funny guy before he stopped drinking.

Thats right!!!

He quit drinking? There goes his routine, but his liver will thank him.

"I'm an alcoholic named 'tater salad."

Too many Dr. Browns to look up.

Indeed there are! But if you narrow it to "University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, Dr. Robert Brown, PH.D" (directly extracted from the blog) you get this link. http://www.psychology.umd.edu/people/profiles/rbrown.html

Provided C.C. Hoskins has an accurate recall of the year (1967) this occurred, it seems that it was probably the same Dr. Robert Brown, PhD. who seems to have been in that location for the years between 1962 & 1972. He was the first google listing in fact.

I saw that one too, but I guess I was reading the orig post wrong, as I was looking for someone in the (hopefully soon to leave the Union) State of Texas.

I find it fascinating that most of the anti-gay bigots are baby boomers or older.  That they rail against gay marriage is a hoot because for the most part their settling down years are long gone. They want to prevent their grandchildren from getting married.  This nut case is so typical of the old dude that bores any younger person in earshot by saying: "Let me tell you a story. It happened LONG ago..." The pathetic part is that they really don't get it that it is the next generation's turn. They can't see that most younger people ignore them. 

BTW, I am a boomer... Let me tell you a story...

Perhaps ignorance is a "lifestyle"

Yeah, I can understand that, tekla. I was thinking that perhaps he seceded from Texas and moved to Maryland. Seems unlikely that University of Texas Southwestern Medical School would have employed two Robert Brown's simultaneously in psychology. Of course, I suppose that would be possible.

O, as far as "boomers" go, not sure about Hoskins, but Brown wouldn't have been a boomer. I figure he was at least 25 in 1962 when he got his PhD and that would place him firmly in about 1937 -- pre-Boomer. Prolly fathered a middle to young Bommer though.

i didn't outdo myself at all.  it was the very first article on google news. 

Curing homosexuality? I suppose that makes sense. I mean, obviously it's the homosexuals' faults for being so different, so naturally they should be the ones to move over.
Also, the world is run by an evil alien race of humanoid reptiles and every political and pop culture figure you know is fake. True story!
