The Southern Poverty Law Center has a full report on the ridiculous pseudo-scholarship of raving anti-gay loony Paul Cameron. There may not have been a less credible "scholar" in the last century. If he said the sky was blue, I'd double check his findings.

Our new troll, mynym, has been a busy little beaver, leaving no fewer than 16 comments in under 2 hours. Looks like he is trying really hard to make his prediction of getting banned a self-fulfilling prophecy by being a major league pain in the ass. His M.O. isn't hard to discern; it appears to be…
The San Francisco Chronicle wrote this article Monday on a recent effort to encourage gay and lesbian couples in San Francisco to foster children. The problem?
They uncritically cited Paul Cameron and his bogus research which is just self-published bigotry and hatred, with no scientific validity…
A large majority of voters have approved gay marriage:
Ireland's citizens have voted in a landslide to legalize gay marriage, electoral officials announced Saturday--a stunningly lopsided result that illustrates what Catholic leaders and rights activists alike called a “social revolution.”

If there is an iron law in politics, it's this: if you find yourself to the right of James Dobson on questions of gay rights, you're a true right wing whacko. But believe it or not, Dobson is taking a ton of criticism from his fellow religious right leaders for not opposing a Colorado bill that…
NOW CAN I CALL THESE PEOPLE NAZIS?
"NOW CAN I CALL THESE PEOPLE NAZIS?"
Godwin's law broken already? Sheesh...
If we're going to go down that road, there are many eery similarities.
1) An irrational hatred based on something akin to racism.
2) In a form of cultural genocide, the fundies would like to convert all gays to heterosexuality.
3) If number two fails, there is a powerful legislative campaign to restrict the basic rights of homosexuals.
4) There is a powerful propaganda campaign devoted to demonizing homosexuals to ostracize them from the community at large. Oddly enough, this is partially accomplished through large gatherings where the speaker is adored by the masses with chants of "heil hitler"... I mean "amen".
5) Bullying of the judicial branch, with calls for impeachment, so it will bow to the tyranny of the legislative branch.
6) And, finally, they want an ever-powerful president with increasing executive authority to do what ever he wants in the name of security. That last point isn't directly about gays, but those powers could be eventually used to restrict the rights of minorities.

Oops. Tacky double post.
Sorry Ed, can you remove one of those?
There's more on Cameron here.
He managed to get published in a heretofore-possibly respectable journal, the Journal of Biosocial Science.
The paper, "Children of homosexuals and transsexuals more apt to be homosexual," is based not on a narrow sample, a self-selected sample, of any of the more common failings, but on a trio of books purchased on Amazon.
The analysis at the above-cited Box Turtle Bulletin, like the SPLC report, shows what a total fraud this hateful man is.
Depends: Is he a Nazi? Not from what I've seen. Nazi isn't a catch-all term for intolerant nut-jobs. If Paul Cameron was living in 1940's Germany he probably would be a Nazi. The rediculous pseudo-science would fit right in. And if Fred Phelps lived in 1940's Germany, he'd be an extermination camp guard. But they're not living in the third reich, and from what I've seen they've picked up a different brand of intolerant bs than naziism.
That's probably a good idea, considering that God can apparently turn yellow into blue (this apparently is the same way he turns gay men straight).
