A question about NARTH

[Strathos]

If you don't know what NARTH is it's the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality.

I've been arguing with a guy online for months now that swears up and down that NARTH is completely credible and respected.

I've seen things on the internet about Paul Cameron being a liar and cheat but nothing really solid that discredits NARTH.

Does anyone know about this organization and if their studies that involve the life expectancy of gay males and the ratio of homosexuals that molest children are correct, or just assholes trying to make homosexuals into criminals?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

1. I've heard about this organization named Stormfront.

These fellows claim that the holocaust didn't actually happen, and that Jews and other minorities secretly the world.

Do you suppose these chaps are on to something?

2. Huh?

Are you talking about NARTH? Or being an ass?

5. NARTH is totally bogus

And the short answer, as always, when someone promotes lunatics of dubious veracity like NARTH, is "prove it."

In this case, who is affiliated with NARTH, where have they published, what are their credentials, and where are their peer-reviewed studies?

The answers: Crackpots, nowhere, none and what?
