I cannot imagine for the life of me how "Timothy Kincaid" and "gay intimidation" could end up in the same sentence. I’ve had the pleasure of spending a good part of a day with Timothy.

Well, glad, sad, and several other reactions. I am sad that the issue of sexuality and personal values has become polarized and politicized. I say that to both APA and NARTH. An organization with a focus on sexual identity integration could serve a useful purpose: helping clinicians focus on the client's narrative and objectives. The sexual identity therapy guidelines are a beginning effort in that direction. I had planned to present the guidelines at the NARTH conference in Novemeber but yesterday decided not to go. Among other reasons I cannot go into, I think the controversies and ambiguities of recent days will overshadow anything of substance at the conference and thus have decided to back out. I do know there are people who are NARTH members and then those who are APA partisans who are quite enthusiastic about them. Glad? Well, glad, sad, and several other reactions.

They've also left up the second comment from "sojourneer" defending the Schoenewolf article and accusing Timothy of being intimidating. So I'm guessing you're kinda glad you're not a NARTH member, huh Dr. Throckmorton?
