Just What the Doctor Ordered, an Anti-Gay Surgeon General

Bush nominates Dr. James Holsinger for SurgeonGeneral,  an anti-gayactivist. Do we really need America's chief health educator waging a war onhomosexuality?

America's chief health educator, giving Americans the best scientificinformation available on how to improve their health and reduce the risk ofillness and injury.

An outspoken anti-gay Surgeon Generaljust doesn't cut it in my opinion (and probably the majority of Americans). Stick to the health issues, and there isn't any proof that sexualpreference has anything to do with health.

Dr. James Holsinger's professionalcareer has been as a medical provider and administrator, but President Bush'snominee to be surgeon general also has had a parallel volunteer career among thetopmost reaches of the "Confessing Movement," a neo-evangelical effortwithin the United Methodist Church to return it to theological orthodoxy.Opposition to a growing tolerance and even acceptance of gays within the churchhas been one of the group's main fixations.

Holsinger also helped found achurch in Kentucky that operates an "ex-gay" ministry Read  on...

According to Holsinger, "homosexuality is achoice and can be cured", just what we need, another government officialthat wants to cure us of "making choices" . I don't believe it is a choice,but I also think if you should make that choice, go right ahead.

LEXINGTON,Ky. -- President Bush's nominee for surgeon general, Kentucky cardiologist Dr.James Holsinger, has come under fire from gay rights groups for voting to expela lesbian pastor from the United Methodist Church and writing in 1991 that gaysex is unnatural and unhealthy.

Also, Holsinger helped found a Methodist congregation that, according to gayrights activists, believes homosexuality is a matter of choice and can be"cured."

Holsinger, 68, has declined all interview requests.  (now there's a good start for a potential public official) Read  on...

"gaysex is unnatural and unhealthy." Maybe to protect us from this evildisease, "they" will be made to wear Scarlet Q's upon their chest...Isurely wouldn't want to catch that unnatural and unhealthy thing!

alrite you guys are idiots he isn't an "anti-gay activist" as you like to claim. He doesn't hate gay people like you guys said. He wrote a paper looking into what his religous belief was, that homosexuality is immoral, and he looked into the possible health effects of it. It is sad to me that as a 15 year old high school sophomore i can clearly see through your blatant and unguided attack on a man because of his religous convictions and personal oppinions. Also, just because someone does not support gay marriage or does not believe that homosexual lifestyles are healthy or moral does not instantly make them an "anti-gay activist."
