Anti-Gay Crackpot Paul Cameron: I'm Open To Death Penalty For Homosexuality

Radio host David Pakman writes us:

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. Dr. Cameron was removed from the American Psychological Association during the 1980's for alleged misrepresentation of research to make his anti-gay claims -- something he continued to do during today's interview on The David Pakman Show. Cameron's defense is that he resigned from the APA, while the APA counters that Cameron resigned after being told he was being investigated, which is a violation of the APA's policies.

Should you have forgotten, Cameron is the freak show who claims that gay men die at an average age of 42, a ridiculous lie that is often repeated by anti-gay and "ex-gay" groups. He is also the founder of the Family Research Institute, which is listed as a hate group by the SPLC.

Christian Hate Group Cheers Uganda: Homosexuality Is Worse Than Murder

Brian Tashman writes at Right Wing Watch:

Paul Cameron’s Family Research Institute is upset that Marvin Olasky of the Religious Right-aligned WORLD magazine dared to criticize Uganda’s draconian anti-gay bill, which recently passed parliament but has been blocked by the president, at least for now. In a response on its website, Cameron’s group took issue with Olasky’s claim that the bill is “harsh and unlikely to be effective,” saying that harsh measures are needed to curb homosexuality…just like murder.

From the Family Research Institute:

Homophobia? This propaganda word does not belong in Christian discourse. Dislike of homosexuality, general avoidance of those who practice it, and trying to keep our kids safe from gay predators are hardly ‘problems’ for Christians — it is ‘who we are supposed to be.’ To be sure, we will find ourselves out of tune with Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s “If I go up to heaven and find a homophobic God, I will tell him I prefer the other place.” Similarly, we will find ourselves on the wrong side of President Obama, Hollywood, David Cameron, Bill and Hillary Clinton, the EU, the media, etc. If God calls something wrong but our elite say it’s precious, our marching orders are clear. Laws against murder are harsh and unlikely to be effective (in completely stopping murder). But such laws educate as to what is ‘correct’ and serve as a disincentive to commit murder. Just because we cannot specify how many lives were saved by a particular law hardly means the law was ineffective. Surely the fact that people still commit murder, rape, or theft would not cause Dr. Olasky to label them as “ineffective” and not worth having.

And then we get this:

Homosexuality violates God’s first commandment to ‘be fruitful,’ and is at the very heart of Biblical denunciation of rebellion against God (see Deut 32 and Romans 1). Homosexual lust led to the painful incineration of 26 brave Ugandan Christian boys and young men. It cannot be ignored without substantial intellectual and moral peril. Arguably Christianity’s greatest preacher, John Chrysostom, called it the worst sin, worse even than murder. While every sin in Scripture is not to be carried into public law, if this sin is not, what would Olasky nominate and how would he justify it?

Paul Cameron, lest you forget, is the lunatic whose deranged claim that the average gay man dies at age 42 is regularly parroted by anti-gay hate groups.

RUSSIA: Anti-Gay Crackpot Paul Cameron Speaks To National Parliament

Paul Cameron, the only American anti-gay activist who rivals Scott Lively for his litany of repulsive lies about LGBT people, has testified before Russia's Duma. Via Buzzfeed:

Russia’s parliament invited an American anti-gay psychologist whose work has been widely discredited to give expert testimony where he suggested that a third of LGBTs support pedophilia, according to a participant in the meeting. Family Research Institute founder Paul Cameron, who has been censured by the American Psychological Association and the American Sociological Association for distorting statistics in efforts to block LGBT rights, spoke at a Duma roundtable on “family values,” according to tweets from lawmaker Alexander Sidyakin. Based on his tweets, the roundtable seemed to be intensifying the drumbeat in favor of laws targeting gay and lesbian parents. A pending proposal to take away their children was recently withdrawn by its sponsor, Deputy Alexei Zhuravlyov, but he has promised to re-introduce it after some tweaks are made to its wording. Russia has already banned citizens of countries that have approved same-sex marriage from adopting Russian children.

Cameron's most frequently repeated lie is his claim that gay men die an average of 20-30 years early. Even the vile Family Research Council has deleted that bullshit from their website, but just a few months ago he repeated that claim to a drooling Bryan Fischer.  We have to wonder if Cameron also told the Duma about his belief that President Obama is secretly gay or suggested that they adopt his idea to tattoo HIV-positive people on the face.

Hate Group Launches Anti-Gay Boy Scouts TV Campaign In Dallas & Cincinnati

Via press release:

As delegates for the Boy Scouts of America convene this week in Texas to weigh a BSA board initiative for gay scouts, conservatives began airing two TV spots dealing with the Scouts, homosexuality and House Speaker John Boehner. "It's all the same phenomenon. Seemingly responsible adults and so-called leaders from Texas to Ohio to Washington keep caving to President Obama's bullying," said NoMoreWimpouts.com spokesman Craig Bergman, who announced the TV spots, now running in Dallas and Cincinnati and yet, he claimed, banned by Comcast censors in DC.

Dr. Paul Cameron, author of a report citing Danish gay marriage death statistics published by Oxford, was the first scientist to document the hazards of second hand smoke. Another TV spot to air next week starts with the cigarette-style notice, "WARNING: Gay Marriage may be Hazardous to your Son's Health, Senator Portman." The ad, depicting a crying Boehner with Boy Scouts, urges Boehner to, "Go straight! ...Man-up now to America's Bullying Gay Activist-in-Chief!"

The guy doing the voiceover sounds like World Net Daily nutjob Molotov Mitchell.

Paul Cameron Repeats Same Tired Lie: Gay Men Die 20-30 Years Early

Using Cameron's methods, one could argue that since middle school children killed in car accidents are an average of twelve years old, the life expectancy for  middle school students is twelve.  Cameron also claims that Denmark legalized same-sex marriage in 1989.  In fact, that happened just nine months ago.

Anti-Gay Whackjob Paul Cameron Repeats "Gays Are Inherently Diseased" Claim

"If you look across the data sets you see that homosexuals have a host of mental problems, disproportionate physical problems, they don't live as long, and they are disproportionately involved in drug abuse and criminality. That would seem to indicate that that is a lifestyle that may reasonably be considered mentally disturbed – [a] disorder. Yet, it isn't. It is surprising that such a wildly defective study, and one that actually proved the exact opposite of what it claimed to have proved has survived so long." - Discredited psychologist Paul Cameron, speaking to the Christian Post.

Cameron is referring to a 1957 study that was cited when the American Psychiatric Association removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders in 1973. Cameron's claim that gay men only live to age 42 is still frequently quoted by anti-gay hate groups, even though he came up with that figure by averaging the ages of men he found in AIDS obituaries in the 1980s. Which is like saying that the average child with a brain tumor dies at age eight, therefore all children have a life expectancy of eight years. Earlier this year Cameron called for imprisoning gay people in a statement that also accused President Obama of being secretly gay himself.

David Pakman Vs. Paul Cameron

During an interview with radio host David Pakman, today infamous anti-gay activist Paul Cameron confessed that was once attracted to males. But that's only because he was "seduced and homosexually raped" at the age of three. Eventually "the gay" wore off, apparently. Cameron's widely discredited "research" is regularly quoted by all of the major hate groups. His most famous lie is that the average gay man has a life expectancy of 42 years. In the below video, Cameron continues to maintain that President Obama is probably gay himself and that all gay men are inherent pedophiles. And this can be proven because the Denver Post has written about gay rights. Of something.

Crackpot Paul Cameron: Our Closet Case President Is Enabling Gay Pedophiles

This is the very discredited Paul Cameron whose lying "research" is quoted continuously by hate groups. ("All gay men die by the age of 42" and etc.) Right Wing Watch adds that in the radio appearance speech excerpted below, Cameron calls for imprisoning all gay people.

The fact is that the Christian Church for 2000 years tried to and eventually got homosexuality to be made illegal, when you make it illegal a lot of people don’t get into it because it’s illegal, when you make it illegal a lot of people get out of it because it’s illegal, when you say ‘we don’t want to be unkind’—Hey, we have to protect our children! We have to have a future! The Christian Church until just recently, just the last few years of time, said we must prevent homosexuality from corrupting our society, corrupting our kids, and so that’s the area where I think we ought to go.

Infamous Anti-Gay Nutcase Paul Cameron: Gay Soldiers Will Rape You!

"Dr." Paul Cameron, the infamous douchebag who has been booted from every professional psychological association, went on Midweek Politics Radio to claim that gay soldiers already rape at a rate of "4 to 7 times more" than straight soldiers do, therefore allowing openly gay soldiers to serve will result in a non-stop homo rape-a-rama. The radio host does a pretty good job with him.
