Ann Coulter's Endorsement of 'Reparative Therapy' is a Bad Joke

Log Cabin Republicans statement on comedienne Ann Coulter.

"Ann Coulter is not a serious part of the conservative movement - her positions are a throwback and do more harm than anything else," said R. Clarke Cooper, Executive Director of Log Cabin Republicans. "Her remarks endorsing the widely outdated and profoundly harmful idea of 'reparative therapy,' alleging that one can 'pray the gay away,' are not only demeaning to gays and lesbians, but are offensive to all people of faith. God in his infinite wisdom created us the way we are and pundits and politicians cannot change that. While her position on this matter is off base, it is exacerbated by her claim that the armed forces should bring back 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' a failed policy which impedes military readiness. Servicemembers who put their lives on the line deserve respect, not such clownish behavior. Ann Coulter may be tired of gay and lesbian Americans speaking out, but Americans, gay and straight, are tired of her overwrought and offensive behavior. Frankly, Coulter's act has gotten stale. It's time to change the channel."
