"Let's say Ian McPhail and James Cantor are doing studies at the same time on how homosexual people can cope better with their loneliness, and they both occasionally post on a forum for homosexual people." OK. Then what studies of homosexuality would you suggest they focus on instead? For that matter, what studies of homosexuality exist historically that have helped their cause? "Isn't it just as stupid and undignified as some users here see Ian McPhail and James Cantor as their helpers?" I'm not sure I see the two of them as being in the same category. Cantor's research treats us as the "confused" bearers of brain anomalies whereas McPhail's work has dealt with more lived-in experiences like handling stigma or the age of onset for our attractions. The latter work sounds a lot more humanizing than the former. "The "MAP" 's pride has been broken by the brainwash of the media." I take pride in not getting bogged down by silly labels or which name to use when addressing someone. |
