In the past, conservative radio host Linda Harvey has made quite a
few outrageous, anti-gay claims: her belief that conversion therapy bans
will increase the spread of HIV among youth and that Lady Gaga's anti-bullying foundation is really just a 'demonic perversion' among them.
So who better to write a book for teens looking for compassionate,
fact-based answers to their questions about their own sexual orientation
or gender identity? In her new book, Maybe He's Not Gay: Another View on Homosexuality,
Harvey "helps" these struggling youth focus "on the bright future they
can all have, regardless of the turmoil of adolescents, which for some
may include same sex attractions or gender confusion."
"I'm gay." As more and more young people
announce this is their identity, it's time to take a closer look. It's a
profound declaration, a new civil right (they are told) and it's "who
you are." But there's a problem. Are we sure this is the truth?
Does this identity bring the promised
liberation and the key to a whole new life? Does it lift the burden of
secrecy - or begin a different kind of struggle?
One cringes at the thought of any level-headed parent giving this book to their son or daughter...
