Guest: Robert Peters, President of Morality in Media
John Roberts has been confirmed as Chief Justice of the United States. All the Republicans voted for him. The Democrats split evenly 22-22.
My view: we could have done worse. And, if he is to be believed (and the jury’s out on this), he could be a fine Chief Justice.
But I’m still bothered by an Administration that thinks it appropriate that judges’ records should be hidden from the public and the Senate…..
Today I will announce how I would have voted if I were a United States Senator.
It was an extremely close decision.
Homophobic "Science"

An extremely controversial guest today: Paul Cameron, Chairman of the Family Research Institute in Colorado Springs, Colorado, whose anti-gay studies have been vehemently rejected by his peers but embraced by those on the Far Right who would deny Gay Americans equal rights to marry and care for children. Cameron, a former psychologist, has been called “the most dangerous antigay voice in the United States today.”
Cameron claims his studies prove gay people are criminals, killers, deviants, and perverts.
The scientific community does not agree. The American Psychological Association expelled Cameron in 1983. In 1985 and 1986 the American Sociological Association found that Cameron had consistently misrepresented sociological research on homosexuality. The Nebraska Psychological Association formally dissociated itself from him. Cameron’s Family Research Institute has even been classified as a “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
PAUL CAMERON MISSTATED HIS FINDINGS ON MY SHOW TODAY, AND UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD NOT READ THE STUDY TO WHICH HE REFERRED. He claimed the CDC supported his findings. As is discussed in detail below, the U.S. Center for Disease Control emphatically rejects his research as “bad science.”
