Ex-Gay Watch is reporting that Activist Alvin McEwen has published an excerpt from his upcoming book, Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters: Exposing the Lies of the Anti-Gay Industry. (The website for the book can be found here: http://www.freewebs.com/holybulliesandheadlessmonsters/index.htm) From some of the excerpts, McEwen has a good take on the dishonesty and hatred that permeates these so-called "pro-family organization:"
. . . in order to prove that gays and lesbians should not have any protection of laws, so-called “pro-family” groups have created a written and oral pattern of deception that is not only blatant in its attempts but shameful in its audacity. In their zeal to prove the worst about the gay community, the antigay industry run roughshod over science and truth. They have created a house of pseudo-scientifi c studies based on distortions, lies, headless monsters, and legitimate studies taken out of context which are then pushed by fake experts, Ph.D.s, conservative columnists and bloggers, and ignorant people of faith all willing to sacrifice their integrity on the altar of an alleged higher calling."
I have had e-mail debates with Robert Knight in the past and no lie is too outrageous for him and even when he concedes factual error, he no sooner turns around and is caught lying again. My personal read on Knight is that he is an extreme self-hating closet case. The level of his anti-gay hysteria can not otherwise be explained. He did not take kindly to my suggestion that he ask John Paulk (Focus on the Family's ex-gay poster boy until he was photographed in a D.C. gay cruising bar) for advise on Washington, D.C. cruising spots so he could find himself a trick and maybe calm his hysteria a bit.
