EPIC
Richard Soccarides in the New Yorker.
AMERICA’S MOST IMPORTANT GAY-RIGHTS SPEECH?
Ironies of life.
Socarides, who is openly gay, is the son of the late Charles Socarides (1922–2005), a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who is widely regarded as the father of conversion therapy, and an outspoken critic of the American Psychiatric Association's 1973 decision to remove homosexuality from its list of mental disorders. In 1992 the elder Socarides co-founded NARTH, in response to the American Psychoanalytic Association's 1992 decision to change its position on homosexuality.
Richard is gay. Ba Boom. Sorry Dad.
Richard became an advisor to the Obamas and is a widely printed commentary on gay affairs.
May his dad spin in his grave for fucking ever, the bastard.
