Quotes concerning homosexuality

"As with females, [males] who learned about homosexuality at later ages were more likely to engage in predominantly heterosexual behaviour as adults. Those who as adults were exclusively heterosexual learned of homosexuality at a mean age of 16.4 years, while those who were predominantly homosexual learned at mean age of 12.0 yearsquot;.

--Dr. Paul Cameron, the University of Colorado.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--W.H. Masters, V.E. Johnson, R.C. Kolodny (1985) Human Sexuality, 2nd Ed. (Little, Brown and Company), p411-412.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"'The idea that people are born into one type of sexual behaviour is foolish.' ... The move towards 'biologizing' homosexuality, he says, isn't the result of a scientific consensus, but a political consensus by those eager to label people gay or straight. Homosexuality, he says, is a 'behaviour, not a condition,' and something that some people can and do change, just like they sometimes change tastes and other personality traits."

--K. Painter, (March 1, 1989), A Biologic Theory for Sexual Preference, (USA Today), p4D.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--W.H. Masters, V.E. Johnson (1979) Homosexuality in Perspective, (Little, Brown and Company).


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"From my 25 years' experience as a clinical psychologist, I firmly believe that homosexuality is a learned response to early painful experiences and that it can be unlearned. For those homosexuals who are unhappy with their life and find effective therapy, it is 'curable'."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Homosexuals consistently describe their fathers as a weak, shadowy and distant figure, or an angry, cold or brutalising one".
