Still fuming from the American Psychiatric Association's cancellation of the "Quack Panel" he was scheduled to appear on this week, notorious "ex-gay" therapist Warren Throckmorton continued on his vindictive warpath. All week, he has done the rounds, whining and playing victim, with fawning right wing rags - apparently the only media that will listen to his bizarre ideas.
Throckmorton's latest stop on his "Sour Grapes Media Tour" is an interview with World Net Daily - a publication best known for publishing a kooky article that claims that eating soy products might turn children gay.
"'Weird Nut Daily' and Warren Throckmorton are two peas in a pod, so it was entirely expected that they would join hands to do a hatchet job on TruthWinsOut.org," said Besen. "It is time for Throckmorton to preserve his remaining dignity by ending his 'Sour Grapes Tour' and moving on. The Quack panel did not happen because the more people learned about Throckmorton, the more uneasy they became with giving him a platform that might appear to legitimize his outlandish and archaic views on sexuality."
So the conference gets canceled after concerns are raised that the right wing was going to use it for their political agenda.
Throckmorton denies the conference is for anything other than objective science.
Throckmorton then whines to every far right media source that has a clear anti-gay political agenda.
Yup, sounds about right.
BTW What needs to happen now on the APA's part is a full report detailing the evolution of this incident, and all the factors that led up to the cancellation. As usual, the blatant idiots at FotF were outspoken and public about their propaganda intentions. It would be very, very easy to provide evidence that they have no interest in objective scientific debate.
