Homo Rachel Maddow to Anti-Gay, Ex-Gay Hater Richard Cohen: "I'm reading it from your book, dude."

Posted by Dan Savage on Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 12:10 PM

JoeMyGod:

You may recall the deranged "ex-gay" advocate Richard Cohen, whose ridiculous "reparative therapies" such as beating out one's homosexual tendencies with a tennis racket and a pillow became the laughingstock of YouTube. Well, it turns out that Cohen isn't quite the relatively harmless lunatic we all thought. His book's completely fabricated "statistics" about gays "recruiting" and molesting children (courtesy of fellow mental patient Paul Cameron) are being used to promote Uganda's "kill gays" bill. Last night Rachel Maddow ripped him to pieces. When Cohen attempts to deny some of his words, Rachel blasts, "I'm reading it from your book, dude."

Part two of Rachel's interview/confrontation/asswhupping after the jump.

Where are these so-called homosexual recruiters hiding out? There's a guy down the street I want them to talk to.

I love his pronunciation of the word "heinous".

Really it doesn't get any better than, "I'm reading from your book, dude!"

So I went to changeispossible.com - when it loads it changes to gaytostraight.org. Very misleading and extremely offensive.
