Let's talk about Charles W. Socarides

Renowned psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Socarides' work primarily focused on homosexuality, a condition he deemed a "freedom gone too far." Dr. Socarides published over 8 books on the topic, titles include: "The Overt Homosexual" (1968) and "The Homosexualities: Reality, Fantasy, and the Arts" (1991).

Socarides' candid and blunt evaluations have guided me throughout the years as a homosexual homophobe, discussing the overlooked and untouchable issues of homosexual promiscuity and sex addiction, the unabashed proliferation of AIDS by selfish and defective gays throughout the '80s and '90s, and the dubious, user-like quality of most bisexual men.

The architect of conversion therapy, Socarides' dedication to helping homosexuals integrate into general society has been misconstrued as bigoted and hateful, but the man was loved and respected by the hundreds of gay men who voluntarily sought him for help!

Thank you, Dr. Socarides, for your work.

Is anyone else a fan of this great man?

Camille Paglia's line of thinking on the issue mirrors Socarides' greatly!

Unfortunately, those "hundreds of gay men" wound up committing suicide thanks to Socarides' ministrations. Plus the man's son is a happy out gay man.

This is some truly perverse trolling.

Conversion therapy has been thoroughly debunked over and over as being psychologically harmful and ineffective, so there's no rational basis for "discourse." The only people who still seek out conversion therapy are people in thrall to religious beliefs.

R10 You're conflating the evangelical's adaption of the practice with Socarides' secular approach based in psychoanalysis. Socarides himself stated he was perfectly fine with, and understood that his clients would never be, and could never be, "cured" of their homosexuality. His goal was to quell their compulsive and dangerous behavior.

And later from OP. Hitler, misunderstood or just a alpha male?

Let's not talk about Mme. Socarides, you cunt OP.

Anyone who uses the term "defective" about gay people making unfortunate choices is a troll and someone who's about as needed in the gay community

If a black kid in a sense of hopelessness acts out are you calling him "defective"? If a black kid gets HIV is he doubly defective to you?

F&F this trolling shit and move on. Open discourse does not include tolerance of homophobes and misandrists like you. A curse on your fat, ugly, stinking and pus-filled open discourse.

Socarides also had a hissy fit when the APA dropped homosexuality from its list of mental disorders and proceeded to work for conversion therapies.

Open discourse? Time to see what other shit this festering tumor of an OP is flinging here.

Trolls and who play fascist and just fascist trolls.

This shit OP:

I envy lesbians Two women can walk down the street holding hands and nobody bats an eye. It's simply seen as "sisterly love", a bond between close friends, but when we do it we risk being gawked at or even bashed.

I'm not a publicly demonstrative type in my relationships but I still envy them.

This shit OP:

I cross dress to get hot guys. AMA Most of the guys on Grindr lack the je ne said quoi straight men have so I started crossdressing/pretending to be trans to get hotter guys. I primarily use Bumble and Facebook dating for these escapades.

Ever since I started doing this, I get the HOTTEST guys. Burly, bearded, construction types. Dapper, hot corporate bros! And everything in between. I'm never going back.

I'm still youthful and full-faced enough to easily put on a feminine persona! I suggest all the str8-chasers who can, do the same.

The only downside is my guys always ask me when I'm transitioning and I obviously have no intention to! Oh well. I tell them, "later."
