Interesting case regarding a lawsuit by someone who requested that his name be removed, but was instead excommunicated:

In case you haven't seen it, here is an article about a lecture Dr. Bradshaw made at BYU regarding SSA:

Seemed pretty courageous to me at the time. Of course, he enraged a few mullahs:

There are lots of ways to stand up for what you believe in. Better to choose one that doesn't cost you your testimony.

Whining about it to a reporter like Stack doesn't exactly make him a hero, either.

"Other studies he cited said that homosexual men go through puberty significantly earlier than heterosexual men, homosexuality in men is linked with having at least two or three older brothers and finger length in homosexual women is increasingly masculineized"

So homosexual women have fingers that are longer and thicker. Interesting, no wonder they don't need a man.

Standing up for what you believe in is more admirable in my opinion than shutting your mouth and conforming for the sake of "testimony".

Testimonies despite the prevailing opinion on this board are highly overated.

IIRC, her brother is a regular on the Mormon blogs like Times and Seasons and Bycommonconsent. He posts as D. Fletcher.

Haddow would be proud of him for using his real name.

D. Fletcher seems to have his own message board: http://sondheimandus.yuku.com/

I didn't realize they were related to Harvey Fletcher.

There are always some willing to sell a birthright for pottage.

Right. We don't have enough demagoguery here.
