Just think, had things gone differently you could be sidling up to this guy at the bar: Family Research Institute director Paul Cameron—who recently opined that President Obama “probably” indulged in homosexual acts—admitted he had wrestled with a sexual attraction to men at a young age.In a creepy, rambling interview on The David Pakman Show, Cameron suggests Obama buddying up with George Clooney and Brad Pitt is proof the POTUS is a poofter: “If you look at his connections with Hollywood…as Liz Taylor said, ‘Without gays, there is no Hollywood.'”
Later, Cameron admits that he was molested as a child and worked to overcome sexual feelings about men. “As you’re probably aware, I was seduced, or raped, as a child…I was raped homosexually. Had that continued, I don’t know where I would’ve ended up,” he tells Pakman, “I do know that the culture, which was directed toward heterosexuality, overcame whatever feelings I had—and I had some that I acquired as 3-year-old. By the time I was 9 or 10, I was thoroughly interested in girls.”
We’re not even sure how to react. It’s horrible that anyone, even someone as loathsome as Cameron, was sexually assaulted as a child. But that doesn’t mean he was turned gay and then “overcame” it. It just means he was understandably confused—he was 3 years old!!!—and emerged as as a (presumed) heterosexual.
We were never molested and we’re as gay as a gallon of poppers.
One last thing: No one we know who has suffered childhood sexual abuse refers to it as being “seduced.” What the hell is that about?
How about we take this to the next level?

George Reckers and now him, so basically both of these groups were founded by people “Fighting” their homosexual feelings.
Combine this with the recent studies that say that extreme homophobes are most often closeted homosexuals fighting their own feelings and it pretty much solidifies flat out than any of these homophobes are closet cases.
Maggie Gallagher, Tony Perkins, etc… Why else do they spend so much time thinking about gays?

Am I to assume that they’re fighting the LGBT in order to reduce temptations for themselves? How pitiful.
But then again, considering how dumb this one is, I wouldn’t be surprised if his “homosexual raping” is just a case of someone putting a thermometer up his ass to check his temperature. The poor boy must’ve gotten so traumatized by it so much that he has created this alternate reality where someone actually wanted to rape him.

Again with the I had sex with a man as a boy, I become Gay arguement. Again,logically – if I am raped by a women as a boy I should be straight, Right! So sick of these stupid illogical arguments from morons who refuse to believe in that sexuality is not a choice.

“As gay as a gallon of poppers”
Really? Not all of us inhale video head cleaner to get our rocks off, thank you very much. That’s like saying “I’m as gay as crystal methamphetamine and unprotected sex!” … A little offensive 🙂

With this revelation, but three words are needed: game over, arsehole.

It’s funny. Dave Pakman does the weakest interview I’ve ever seen with Dr. Michael Br
own one day. Brown actually quit the interview, because Pakman is being such an idiot, and then the next day he does an interview with the notorious Dr. Paul Cameron, which I’m thinking is going to be a major turning point for the anti-gay industry. Specifically the point at which all that anti-gay hysteria begins to fade into history.
Do you remember that horrible moment in the Oscar Wilde trial, when Oscar said flippantly that “the boy was peculiarly plain,” and Carson the prosecutor asked Wilde over and over, “Was that the reason why you did not kiss him? Why? Why? Why?” Carson’s questioning effectively forced Oscar Wilde to admit, that if the boy had been pretty, he would have kissed him. In another great moment in interviewing, Pakman’s questioning forced Dr. Cameron to admit that his over-blown anti-gay animus had a root cause that was entirely personal, (subtracting from its public-policy value) and that his own flag of heterosexual identity featured a pink stripe of same-sex interests. (Which instantly turns him from a hater into a mis-guided brother.)
Here are the Wilde transcripts for the born-yesterdays:

FINALLY, after a life-time of spewing anti-gay propaganda, we get the true story, in first-person language, from Dr. Paul Cameron. Not the CSA narrative in which “THEY DO THIS, THEY DO THAT and A Little Child Suffers.” Now we know more about why he feels the way he does, and why he acts the way he does, and why the things he says about gay people are so far removed from the lives we actually lead. (And thus, we learn a little more about all anti-gay types, including our own internal homophobia.) Pakman, yesterday an idiot, now my hero, zeros in unerringly on my favorite topic: the vicissitudes of the gender identity formation process. There was a time when heterosexual feelings were not. There was, even for Dr. Cameron. THERE WAS! Homosexual feelings? “I had them.” says Dr. Cameron. For a man of Dr. Cameron’s generation and profession, that’s a HUGE admission. I never thought I would be able to feel compassion for this wretched, self-deluded, campy, creepy old man, (another great example of what Jon Stewart called “center-square gay,” like Marcus Bachman,) . . .but now I do. Apparently he was himself raped at three years old. You can’t make this stuff up. “Why does Dr. Cameron talk like that about gay people? Was he, like, anally raped by a pedophile when he was 3 years old, or something?” Apparently so. Some out-and-out child-sexer just like our own beloved former posters [self-edited,] [self-edited,] and [self-edited,] went ahead with his fantasies and raped this little kid, an evil act bearing its natural fruit. Dr. Paul has spent a lifetime crying over his pain to anyone who will listen. But not crying like a man who grives, deals, and moves on. Instead, what he has been telling is a Childish Hyperbolic Pan-American Gothic Homosexual Paederastic Abuse Narrative Whopper, a long poem worthy of Allan Ginsberg, in which AMERICA is a little boy who is being raped over and over again by Evil Homosexuals. (Except that if it was by Allan Ginsberg, the boy would be saying loudly how much he liked it. “America, my ass-hole is bleeding. Please stop it, America! No don’t stop.” etc. But I digress.) But the voice of the abused boy was always audible underneath the anti-gay theatrics, for those who have ears to hear. Just like with ace Homo-mythologizer Scott Lively, the shapes in the puppet-theater are cut from BLACKEST CARDBOARD, and they loom, like TEN FEET TALL. SO VERY SCARY to a little kid. They’re everywhere; they’re under my bed. They’re going to do …..BAD THINGS to kids. Rather than dealing with his ugly issues, Dr. Paul has spent a life-time (from age 3 to 75) spewing out this huge ugly narrative about THEM: what THEY are doing to THOSE boys, have done will do, might do, fantasize about doing, make porn about doing. . . . And rightfully so. Something terrible DID happen to the innocent little kid that Paul Cameron was, and the only hope that kid has, is to tell his story over and over again in hopes of reaching a sympathetic adult ear. But see here the intoxicating, anesthetizing power of anti-gay rhetoric in action. The raping is all happening OUT THERE now, THEY are doing it. And the victims are out there too! No pain inside Dr. Paul Cameron any more. To ask Dr. Cameron to FOREGO his habits of anti-gay rhetoric, is to ask him to re-enter the world of the little three year old boy experiencing something no little boy should ever have to experience, and which no little boy can possibly comprehend. Would YOU be willing to re-enter that experience, if you had a “perfectly good” mechanism for avoiding doing so?
It was never about PAUL’s pain…until now. Dr. Cameron, like Dr. George Rekers, has been a very influential voice in the anti-gay industry. The cloth of Public Policy was being cut according to shapes from a 3 year old boy’s nightmare. Imagine a huge black cone of evil spreading out, over time, from that original single evil act: how many lives has Cameron’s rhetoric about the BADNESS of homosexuality touched over the years? I still remember the sickening shock of the original Morgan Fox footage surrounding the Zach/Love in Action protests. They got a Tennessee dad on the camera, who was terrified that his son was going to die at 42 if he kept up with his homosexual habits. WHERE THE HELL DID THAT UNFACT come from, I wondered?
Looking at that hideous Mike Wallace documentary “The Homosexuals” is a good way to remind ourselves of how strong the anti-gay stuff once was. And, like memories of WWII, it’s slowly fading, looking more and more like just one more crazy episode in American History. . . . Homosexuality, once normalized, will never carry a tenth of the sexual charge it once did…sniff…!

So be advised: against THEIR excitingly mythological narrative of ALL homosexuals as evil paederastic monsters initiating boys into wicked homosexual practices, we can now set the true narrative of a very small minority of evil paederastic homosexuals initiating certain boys into whole life-times of useless, overblown, uninformed anti-gay activism.
Just imagine how life would have been different for gay folk, had a very small handful of child-rapists not raped those kids into the two-dozen+ screaming homophobes we read about at GLAAD? Who’s going to come out with their abuse narrative next? For example, does anyone believe that Linda Harvey doesn’t have an ugly, hidden abuse narrative tucked away in her tidy Ohio closet, the way she carries on about THEM, and how she doesn’t want THEM touching HER CHILDREN? Somewhere back in the past there’s an aggressive Lesbian Nurse taking Indecent Liberties with little Linda . . . or at least that’s how Linda experienced it at the time. How long before the stream of accusations breaks down Travolta’s reserve, and he does a complete Corey Feldman, complete with a teary interview about how it felt to be a Hollywood boy-whore who could never say no? When is the bloom going to come off of Don Lemon’s fierce naivete: Yes I was sexually-abused by an older man as a child, and no, it had nothing to do with my homosexuality.
What a truly emotionally satisfying life it is to be a PAUL, to spend one’s life as a moral busy-body about other people’s sexual depravity,in order to avoid dealing with your own feelings and interests! Congratulations, Dr. Cameron: even though your time on stage is about up, you have broken the PAUL code and begun to take ownership of your own feelings. Welcome to the human race.

The mere fact that this goose seems to equate anal rape with his homosexual leanings is proof positive that he needs to have his head examined.
