In 2011 Fox News' Dr. Keith Ablow brought a toxic mix of homophobia and pseudoscientific anti-LGBT talking points to new lows. The "Fox News Medical A-Team" member has been a prolific source of anti-LGBT misinformation, disguising his animosity toward gay, lesbian and transgender people as expert commentary on human sexuality. His bigoted rants against J. Crew, Dancing with the Stars, and the Girl Scouts have earned widespread criticism and mockery, eventually causing him to resign from the American Psychiatric Association. For his consistent promotion of known falsehoods and shirking of established medical opinions on LGBT issues, Ablow has earned the title of LGBT Misinformer of the Year.

So, he's had to resign from the American Psychiatric Association. In other words, as good as struck off.

Quite right of course. This man set himself up of publicly issue diagnoses of people he had never met, based upon reports fuelled by his ow preconceptions.

This is not the behaviour of a professional. It is the behaviour of a commercially minded bigot.

Any profession with, apparently, the qualifications that Ablow has claimed will have had to work quite hard to reach those. The only realistic motive is that he knew his practice was in the toilet, so resorted to these stunts in the hope of cashing on on the shrinking market for attacking minorities.
