Joseph Nicolosi: The Man Who Would Heal All the Wounded Boys
by Austin Ruse, Crisis Magazine:
The success of a man may be measured in this life by the love of his friends and even by the hatred of his enemies. By this measure, Dr. Joseph Nicolosi was a very successful man when he passed utterly unexpectedly a few weeks ago from complications of the flu.
His enemies danced on his grave. More than simply dance, they put their hands in the air like rappers or Lev Tevya in Fiddler on the Roof. It’s been a celebration of his death.
Sam Ames, of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, who seems to be trying to pass herself off as a boy wrote, “For my part, I’m having trouble seeing past the sadness. Joseph Nicolosi died the way he lived: in pain. It’s a pain many of us know all too well. He managed to turn his into a multi-million-dollar industry of self-hatred, from which the casualties are too many to count.”
A blog called Towle Road said, “It’s unclear how many people Joseph Nicolosi harmed over the course of his life.”
Perhaps the nastiest gay blog, Joe.My.God. referred to Nicolosi as “NARTH Ex-Gay Torture Founder…”
Wayne Besen, considered one of the more balanced gay spokesmen, said Nicolosi was an “ideologue and propagandist who trafficked in hate and harm…. I doubt he’s in a better place. I do know the earth is a better place without this noxious con artist who peddled in phony cures for homosexuality.”
The “Queer Voices Deputy Editor” at the Huffington Post called Nicolosi’s talk therapy “barbaric.”
The vicious and gleeful attacks on the ghost of Nicolosi go on and on and on.
The belief of the sexual left is that anyone who does not want same-sex attraction or does not want any longer to participate in sodomitical sexual practices has internalized “homophobia.” He is a self-hater, a self-hate caught like an infection from the gay-hatred awash in the wider society. Any proper therapy and therapist would help him do away with this internalized homophobia, to get fine with kissing other men and with the sodomy that inevitably comes with it. They are especially incensed that a young man under the age of majority would consider that sodomy is not what he wants from his life.
Nicolosi had another view. He did not so much seek to cure homosexuality but to fix the brokenness in childhood that led almost inexorably to homosexuality. Fix the brokenness and sexual health follows.
