Hold on a moment. I have more to say about this comment.
Dobson believes in Conversion Therapy, that through counseling or prayer someone can switch from being gay to straight. The man was a psychologist, yet a majority in the mental health field disagree with his thinking.
In "Bringing Up Boys" he says:
Quote:

"Homosexuals deeply resent being told that they selected this same-sex inclination in pursuit of sexual excitement or some other motive."

I'm sorry, but I would not want my son being misinformed by Dobson.
The Dobson run Focus on the Family website has a store where you can buy books on Conversion Therapy called "Leaving the Lifestyle". I was forced to go through a Conversion Therapy process as a teen. Since this is what my parents wanted, I decided to willingly give it a shot. It doesn't work.
