„I suggest, indeed, letting children who wish go to school in clothes of the opposite sex - but not counselling other children to not tease them or hurt their feelings. On the contrary, don't interfere, and let the other children ridicule the child who has lost that clear boundary between play-acting at home and the reality needs of the outside world. Maybe, in this way, the child will re-establish that necessary boundary.“
„For over three decades the consensus of the mental health community has been that homosexuality is not an illness and therefore not in need of a cure. The APA's concern about the positions espoused by NARTH and so-called conversation therapy is that they are not supported by the science. There is simply no sufficiently scientifically sound evidence that sexual orientation can be changed. Our further concern is that the positions espoused by NARTH and Focus on the Family create an environment in which prejudice and discrimination can flourish.“
„All students at Cal Poly, gay or straight, deserve to be treated with sensitivity and respect. But "openness to diversity" requires that the debate also welcome those students who take the principled position that heterosexuality is normative - and that "normality is," as one psychiatrist so aptly puts it, "that which functions in accordance with its design."“
„I believe homosexuality should be viewed as a challenge, a problem, a difficulty to be surmounted, and not as a quality to be embraced as representative of one's core identity, "who one is." Students who agree with that principled position, which can be defended on the basics of both science and sexual ethics, should not be intimidated. No university is doing its job when defenders of a traditional sexual ethic fear that speaking out will tar them with the gratuitous label of "homophobic."“
„AS a matter of face, in one of my last sessions of therapy, Dr. Nicolosi asked me to volunteer for the Spitzer study, and he specifically asked me not to say he had referred me. At that point I was beginning to realize I didn't need to be cured, and never took part in the survey myself.“
