The Resume

    (1952- )
    Born in Washington, District of Columbia

Why he might be annoying:

    His career is converting people from gay to straight.
    One of his books featured a forward by fellow phony doctor Laura Schlessinger.
    He uses bizarre methods such as cuddling to make up for the lack of affection from the same sex parent and hitting a pillow with a tennis racket.
    He calls the cuddling ‘healthy man love’ and the natural heterosexual identity will come about because it is the law of physics. (What the hell does physics have to do with anything?)
    He was expelled from the American Counseling Association for violating the code of ethics.
    There is no scientific proof any of his methods work.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He only converts people who want to be converted.
    He doesn’t mind people making fun of him.
    Before his own conversion therapy he was HIV/AIDS educator for the American Red Cross.
    He said 'If someone wants to live a gay life, that needs to be respected. If someone wants to change and come out straight, that too needs to be respected. Let us practice true tolerance, real diversity, and equality for all.'
    He was molested when he was a child by a family friend.
