An Evangelical group is trying to stop implementation of a landmark California ban on ex-gay "therapy," claiming it infringes on the private rights of patients. Makes perfect sense, because obviously the customer is always right.

Mathew Staver, dean of Liberty University law school, claims:

"What we have here is the state coming into the doctor-patient, client-counselor relationship and saying that you can only present one viewpoint."

Yeah, in the same way the big, bad government only allows one viewpoint on whether bleeding or trepanning people are effective ways of promoting wellness.

Speaking of theocratic nonsense, a group of gay men in Libya have spoken out about their horrifying treatment at the hands of that country's largest Islamic milita, including a man in drag being beaten until he confessed he was gay—and then being taken away, never to be seen again.

Dr. (Mehmet) Oz has one of the most obnoxious shows I've seen on daytime TV—and I've seen a lot of it. He talks to his audience like they're three years old, helpfully explaining to women why their boobs sweat and other valuable things.

Now he's really topped himself by being not only useless but harmful—he gave his entire show over to ex-gay therapy without offering any kind of an opinion on the subject and giving the impression that it's a subject on which educated people may disagree.

There is no room for disagreement in the medical or psychological professions—ex-gay therapy is roundly condemned as junk science.

Now, Oz is clarifying things on his site. Too bad he only did so after broadcasting idiocy into everyone's homes. Really makes you wonder how vetted his other topics really are.

P.S. Most of his polical contributions have been to Republicans.

UPDATE: Are you fucking kidding me? The preacher introduces Gov. Chris Christie (R-New Jersey) and everyone gives him a standing O? Fuck that. The dude who just vetoed marriage equality at the funeral of a woman who was at the very least closeted as a bisexual if not as a lesbian...speechless.

I was no Whitney Houston fan (well, I was—a long time ago), but I do genuinely feel bad for all the people so deeply affected by her work and therefore by her passing.
