Feel the Love: Christofascist "Expert" Paul Cameron "Open To" Gay Death Penalty


The true horror and moral filth of the Christofascists continues to reveal itself in things as diverse as the "turn the gays away" bill in Arizona, Uganda's "kill the gays" law, and the constant deliberate lies and untruths disseminated against LGBT individuals.  Aiding and abetting these horrors are the faux experts who generate false and untrue "research" and "studies" to justify calling gays "diseased," "pedophiles," and "treats to children." Few faux experts have a more foul history than Paul Cameron who was thrown out of every legitimate professional association that he had belonged to  almost 30 years ago.  Yet time and time again we see "family values" organizations and "Christian" organizations disseminating his manufactured lies and fraudulent studies and anti-gay smears.  Now, with Uganda's enactment of a horrific anti-gay law that includes prison sentences of up to life imprisonment, Cameron says that he is "open to" death penalties for gays.  The Bilerico Project has details.  Here are excerpts:
Crackpot doctor Paul Cameron -- possibly the only anti-LGBT "researcher" in the United States more thoroughly discredited than Mark Regnerus -- went on the David Pakman Show today to endorse Uganda's new Anti-Homosexuality Law.
Host David Pakman summarizes the interview thusly:
Dr. Paul Cameron of the Family Research Institute said today that he not only favors the Ugandan anti-gay law which indicates prison as a punishment for homosexuality, he added that he consulted with Ugandan officials on the law, and that he would be open to the idea of the death penalty as a punishment for homosexuality. Cameron refused to answer, however, the logistics of how he would carry out and administer death sentences for LGBT individuals.
As I've written previously here at The Bilerico Project, Cameron is a certified wackjob. He was kicked out of both the American Psychological Association and the American Sociological Association for peddling virulently anti-gay junk science; the Southern Poverty Law Center calls him an "infamous anti-gay propagandist" and lists his organization, the Family Research Institute, as a hate group.
Cameron is best known for the thoroughly debunked lie about the supposed "health risks" of homosexuality -- you know, the one about how gay men, on average, live only half as long as their heterosexual counterparts. In a 2012 appearance on a Christian talk radio show, Cameron made the wild-eyed claim that "the long term goal of the homosexual movement is to get every little boy to grab his ankles and every little girl to give it a try." Last year, the Russian government flew him in to spread his anti-LGBT propaganda at a Duma roundtable on "family values."
And now Paul Cameron is "open to the idea" of killing gay people.

Cameron is nothing short of a monster - as are those who use his lies and untruths to  denigratee gays and deprive us of equality under the civil laws.  In short, these are NOT nice or decent people and the larger public needs to come to the realization that it is not gays who are sick and "inherently disordered," but rather their opponents, especially the "godly folk."
