Dr. Laura Schlessinger

Gays are deviant, akin to pedophiles & bestiality
"Rights. RIGHTS! RIGHTS? For sexual deviant . . . sexual behavior there are now rights. That's what I'm worried about with the pedophilia and the bestiality and the sadomasochism and the cross-dressing. Is this all going to be 'rights' too, to deviant sexual behavior? It's deviant sexual behavior. Why does deviant sexual behavior get rights? Don't understand that to start out with." - Dr. Laura, June 9, 1999, transcribed by GLAAD, http://www.glaad.org/glaad/eyeonthemedia/drlaura/drlauratranscripts.html#latimes

Gays are pedophiles
"Well, according to Dr. Aarden VanWeg (sp?), an expert in homosexuality and other forms of deviant sexual behavior in Holland, that although numerically there are more pedophiles that are heterosexual, percentage-wise in a population, it's much greater in the homosexual community. So there is some relationship. No, not every homosexual is a pedophile - obviously not - but it's a greater percentage - much greater. So they ought to do their homework before they say these things." - Dr. Laura, June 9, 1999, transcribed by GLAAD, http://www.glaad.org/glaad/eyeonthemedia/drlaura/drlauratranscripts.html#latimes

Gay parents make children gay
"Now from the Family Research Council, and I'm getting a hold of some of the literature, they write that even the social science studies cited by gay activists reveal that children raised in homosexual households are four times as likely to identify as homosexual or to experiment with homosexual behavior." - Dr. Laura, July 22, 1999, transcribed by GLAAD,

Gay parenting is despicable, unhealthy
"[Commenting on gay parents] This is a travesty that these two lesbians were given two little children, intentionally depriving them of a father. It's despicable. It's unhealthy. The psychological literature backs up what I'm saying. And it doesn't matter, because the gay activist lobby is powerful, and they use the notion of rights and tolerance, and send everybody on their ear, not realizing that the children are paying the price. To whom does it matter that more of these kids will become gay? Doesn't matter to the gay community, because for them it's fine, right? So to whom does it matter?" - Dr. Laura, July 22, 1999, transcribed by GLAAD,

Gay parents are vicious, vulgar, self-serving, ugly
"[Commenting on gay parenting] The crime - the vulgarity - don't you see what's happening to our children year after year, as we grow in our liberties that anybody can do anything? This is a travesty. That these two women could adopt newborns, intentionally depriving them of fathers, is despicable and should be unlawful. Tragedies happen. We make the best of them. But to say I have the right, because I will not relate to a man - I have a right to make sure children don't have a father - is vicious, vulgar, self-serving and ugly, and how this society can support it and is fearful of not..." - Dr. Laura, July 22, 1999, transcribed by GLAAD,

Gay activism akin to "ethnic cleansing"
"I want to coin a phrase here, and I don't mind help. What would be the communication version of "ethnic cleansing?" Because that's what in particular the homosexual activists try to do." - Dr. Laura, August 11, 1999, transcribed by GLAAD,

Gay is a deviancy, akin to murder?
"When we have the word 'homosexual,' we are clarifying the dysfunction, the deviancy, the reality. We change it to the word 'gay,' and it makes it more difficult to pinpoint the truth. So one of the things that the homosexual agenda did was to change the name. Just like somebody complained to me yesterday that 'ethnic cleansing' - that it sounded like your washing machine - as opposed to murder. And they were right. 'Ethnic cleansing' sounds nice. 'Murder' is the truth. Well, 'homosexuality' is the truth. 'Gay' isn't." - Dr. Laura, August 12, 1999, transcribed by GLAAD,

Gays are organized, mobilized, unified, strong and well-funded
"The organized gay agendists write me all the time. They have web sites everywhere. They are mobilized. They are unified. They're strong. They're well-funded." - Dr. Laura, August 12, 1999, transcribed by GLAAD,

Gays propagandize children
"Propagandizing in our school! There's no agenda? "It's Elementary!" An incredible videotape by two lesbians which is supposed to be about teaching kids not to breach anybody's civil rights. That was a lie. It's so blatant, it's obvious. It went around many PBS stations. It was a propagandizing piece to have children approve of homosexuality as young as in kindergarten..." - Dr. Laura, August 12, 1999, transcribed by GLAAD,

Gays are deviant, target kids
"But this is about taking a deviant behavior, a dysfunctional behavior, normalizing, sexualizing our kids." - Dr. Laura, August 12, 1999, transcribed by GLAAD,

Gays are pedophiles
"How many letters have I read on the air from gay men who acknowledge that a huge portion of the male homosexual populace is predatory on young boys. There's nothing new here. I read you those letters from gay men. There are places that - some, not all, don't say I said all - but they themselves said they saw this in so many places around the world where you can go on vacation and do kids. And I would like to most of the gay activists stand up and tell me that they don't think it's reasonable for a gay young man to act out sexually with an adult male." - Dr. Laura, August 12, 1999, transcribed by GLAAD,
