Oh, I forgot this gem of an exchange from William Tam’s testimony yesterday. Pages 197-199:

Q. Have you seen anything in writing that says that [sexual orientation can be changed]?

A. I saw in a website, yeah.

Q. What website?

A. It’s the NARTH website.

Q. What?

A. NARTH [an “ex-gay” group].

Q. And do you believe that the NARTH website is a source of objective scientific information?

A. Well, I believe in what they say.

Q. Now, you mentioned the APA a moment ago.

A. Yes.

Q. Do you recall that?

A. Yes.

Q. What’s the APA?

A. I think it’s American Psychological Association.

Q. Yes. And what does the American Psychological Association say about sexual orientation?

A. I don’t know.

Q. You don’t know?

A. I don’t know.

Q. You never tried to find out?

A. No, I don’t — I don’t.

Q. You thought it was better to get your scientific information about this issue from the NARTH website as opposed to the American Psychological Association. Is that your testimony?

A. Uhm, yeah, I believe in what NARTH says.

Um, you can “believe in” aliens, or God, or ESP. But facts are what’s important in a court case, not “beliefs.”
