Parents Children Children Parents
Did you see Rachel Maddow's rigorous coverage of the really upsetting anti-gay legislation happening in Uganda? I was particularly struck by this interview she did with "ex-gay" leader Richard Cohen - a man I've been familiar with ever since my dad started doing LGBT activism in our home town. Check out the interview here:
Yeesh! After that interview aired, my mother noticed something totally weird - namely, that Cohen's book, "Gay Children, Straight Parents," bore a remarkable surface resemblance to a book she read when I first came out - "Straight Parents, Gay Children." While the latter helped my mom come to terms with my sexuality, and eventually to become an activist in her own right, the former is totally bogus "ex-gay" propaganda, denounced by every major medical and psychiatric institution in the country. Check out the covers:
Weird, right? When you google the good one, the bad one comes up second! I hope no one makes a terrible mistake and accidentally buys the bad one for their parents!
Happy Chanukah.
