She's just voicing the party line, no?

Christine O'Donnell said gays suffer from `identity disorder,' reporter says


Christine O'Donnell claimed in a 2006 interview that homosexuals are psychologically defective, arguing that they suffer from "identity disorder," the reporter who conducted the interview tells me.

On Friday I noted here that the Wilmington News Journal ran a 2006 profile of O'Donnell which paraphrased her views, claiming she "considers homosexuality an identity disorder." But the paper didn't include any direct quote supporting that.

Now the reporter on the story, Victor Greto, who's now a professor at Wesley College in Delaware, emails over her full quote from his notes on the interview. Here's what she said:



O'Donnell's suggestion that gays suffer from a psychological disorder is far worse than other comments about gays that have already gotten media attention, such as her claim that the government spent too much on AIDS and her insistence that "gays get away with so much."

Also: Last week O'Donnell insisted that her rigid moralistic views represent long-ago youthful excesses. But as late as 2006, she was apparently still suggesting that gays are suffering from some sort of mental illness that has caused them to stray from God's "image."

Indeed, this would appear to put O'Donnell squarely in the camp of those who liken homosexuality to pedophilia and bestiality.

She was a spokesperson for one of those "pray away your gayness" groups a while back. She may have been among their "converts" and it does seem that it is the "converts" who become the strongest proponents. She is pathetic... She is vomiting back all the crap she was brainwashed with.

don't enter into anything she says, as long as she finds a position and gets elected. She's a younger version of mccain without any prior experience.

Wonder how Sarah feels about a "younger, prettier" version of herself out there preaching the "facts"

:grr:

bigoted RW bastards. No wonder they love her!:mad: :argh:

sounds to me like the lady (and I use the term loosely) just doesn't want anyone to have any fun . . . wonder how she feels about oral sex between heterosexuals . . . inquiring minds want to know . . .

I'm not saying she's gay. Cearly anyone who pretended to be a witch in high school and is sexually repressed about even masturbation has identity issues and various psychological problems. Her need to seek attention by repeatedly running for public office is probably a substitute for some basic emotional needs that aren't being met in healthy ways.
