PHOENIX — Michael Brown took the dais in a sterile Marriott ballroom last fall, beaming for the 40 or so therapists who form the devout core of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH). With a hulking frame packed tightly into a three-button black suit, one of the nation's most vociferous anti-gay activists began his speech with a dire warning.

The "homosexual agenda" is on the march, he said, and shows no signs of slowing. Gay rights activists, aggressively working to undermine Christian values and the traditional family, have infiltrated the nation's schools, civic centers and places of worship. The war for the heart of the country is on.

"We need you. I need you," pleaded the guest speaker, author of the 2011 self-published book A Queer Thing Happened to America. Brown added, "You may be condemned today, but you will be commended tomorrow."

"Junk science" is a favorite ploy of zealots.  They will distort real science to justify whatever their goals are.

If you don't believe me, just look at Al Gore and the climate change alarmists at the IPCC.
