It is insanity to suggest that homosexual behavior is both normal and healthy. Yet this is the
               position that many are promoting in this hour. Massive amounts of propaganda is being spewed
               forth from government, television, movies, newspapers, radio, music, and a myriad of non-
               governmental, pro-homosexual organizations. The apostle Paul summed up this activity well in
               the following words:


               Romans 1:32
               Who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving
               of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

               Alix Spiegel provides this additional narrative on one psychiatrist who believes homosexuality is
               abnormal, deviant behavior.

               Dr. Socarides continues to teach and practice psychiatry, but his views on homosexuality have
               damaged his position in his profession. He has been violently criticized by his peers. And his
               book on homosexuality, called “A Freedom Too Far,” was refused by over 40 publishers. In the
               end, he had to print the book himself. But Socarides remains convinced that he has chosen the
               right path and claims that far from destroying his career, his views on homosexuality have
               actually helped his practice.


               Charles Socarides: Oh, it's made it boom.

               Alix Spiegel: It made it boom?


               Charles Socarides: Boom, sure. Sure. I'm known both as the devil of the radical gay movement,
               and I'm also known as the savior of many homosexual's lives. Last week, I saw somebody with
               his son of 16, who said they'd taken the boy to six psychiatrists in New Jersey and every one of
               them said, get out of here. Or told him that he can't be helped. And that's happened over and
               over again.

               I've had a lot of terrible words against me. But my patients will tell you differently. Any one of
               them.

               The fact that this psychiatrist, who has treated more homosexuals than the majority of his peers,
               could not get a book on the subject published, shows that there are men and women across a
               range of industries who have conspired to silence any opposition to homosexual behavior. The
               American public is being presented with one view only. It is a view that would normalize and
               promote the spread of homosexual behavior.

               Edward Bernays, the father of American propaganda, recognized the irrational honor that
               Americans give toward those who bear the title of “Doctor.” Bernays employed the knowledge of
               this fact by enlisting doctors to sell any product, or idea, to the masses that he desired.
