She also unsuccessfully contacted Cambridge University Press to have them further investigate Cameron’s article before publication. (One might think they would have stopped it on the grounds of sloppy science, if nothing else.) Note that Garner does not deny that some children of LGBT parents turn out to be LGBT. She objects to the fact that a discredited homophobe is distorting the material in her book as part of his deceptive attempt to build a case against gay parenting.

From what I've read so far, it is your own research that proves Cameron's point. I'm still waiting for you to prove otherwise....

All that Paul Cameron is accomplishing is to create insecurities in teenagers and younger that otherwise would not exist. He is also giving others reasons to hate their neighbors over issues they shouldn't have. As the son of a Gay Parent for 41 years, I am not gay. If Mr. Cameron should ever come to Pensacola Florida, and would have a heart attack, would he be offended if I or my Dad gave him CPR and saved his life? I would hate to offend him.
