Dan Savage replies to the Focus on the Family-endorsed advice I mentioned.

Joseph Nicolosi, a quack conversion therapist whom Feldhahn cites approvingly, has an interesting theory on how to make little boys straight: “[A father should] take his son with him into the shower, where the boy cannot help but notice that Dad has a penis, just like his, only bigger.” This is wrong on so many levels I don’t even know where to begin. I can’t recall ever showering with my dad, and I’m certain my dad didn’t drag my two older brothers into the shower and waggle his penis in their faces. (I asked.) And yet both my older brothers grew up to be straight. How’d that happen? And if exposure to great big cocks makes a guy straight, how come 10 years worth of exposure to my boyfriend’s great big cock hasn’t made me straight?

He also offers a deal to another cultural commentator.

Shaunti Feldhahn, “a conservative Christian author and speaker,” recently wrote an op-ed touting conversion therapy for homosexuals. I speak for all gay people everywhere when I say that I’m sick to fucking death of listening to straight fundies yapping about how easy it is for other people to change their sexual orientations. Think it’s easy, Shaunti? Prove it, bitch, by putting your twat where your mouth is. After you convert your skanky ass from hetero to homo, I will convert my skanky ass from homo to hetero. Give me a call when you’re a carpet-munchin’, vag-fistin’ bulldyke—and bring the video, because I’m going to want proof—and I will give up ass-munchin’, butt-fucking faggotry. Until then, shut your stupid fucking mouth.
