Anderson Cooper speaks to Texas State Representative Bryan Hughes, Republican Party.
Yaaaaaaaas Anderson
By the way, THIS is unbiased reporting. Anderson Cooper is doing nothing but presenting the *facts* that are backed up by multiple reputable organizations. He points out the *fact* that doctors are not evenly split on this and that pretending otherwise is disingenuous. He is providing facts to the audience and to this Republican who clearly has not done his homework.
It’s probably specious and unfair of me, but Rep. Hughes reminds me of the routine “Dr. Berger’s Mental Health Hour” from Naked Lunch’s “Ordinary Men and Women” chapter.
The cured homosexual is brought in…He walks through invisible contours of hot metal. He sits in front of the camera and starts arranging his body in a countrified sprawl. Muscles move into place like autonomous parts of a severed insect. Blank stupidity blurs and softens his face…
“Yes,” he nods and smiles, “we like apple pie and we like each other. It’s just as simple as that.” He nods and smiles and nods and smiles and -
“Cut!…” screams the Technician. The cured homosexual is led out nodding and smiling.
I have no immediate way of knowing this for certain, but he really looks to me like the reason he’s so up on reparative therapy is that it “worked” for him.
