Homosexuality
Disease or a Way of Life
Bergler
1956
Another evils of homosexuality book. We have published quite a few over the years, including this horrible picture book. This one is worse as it is buried in unsubstantiated “scientific” claims. His “expert” opinion is buried under anecdotes and pyscho-speak that would scare anyone into thinking that every gay person is out there recruiting YOUR child into this evil lifestyle. I think this is outrageous, even for 1956, although I shouldn’t be surprised, since many of the books we have featured have trotted out many of the same arguments.
Extra credit for the use of the term: “hypersuperciliousness”.
