Paul Cameron, Christian Homophobe
Paul Cameron, whose demand that gay men should be segregated was the subject of last month's Chronicle cartoon, heads the so-called Institute for Scientific Investigation of Sexuality in Lincoln, Nebraska. A rabid homophobe who calls gays vicious and describes us as worse than murderers, Cameron insists that the government should force all gay people to register as health risks. Eager to gather all the publicity he can, Cameron travels around the country to testify against laws that would give gay people civil rights He figured prominently
in the campaign against the Houston ordinances last month.
Cameron's explanation that his son is not gay because the Camerons are practicing Christians might upset practicing Christians whose sons turned out to be gay. It raises questions about the sexual preference of the Cameron daughter, if there is one.
The American Psychological Association has expelled Cameron for unethical conduct, including his use of faked statistics and misrepresenting research done by others. Does
unethical conduct violate Christian practice?

"Consenting Adult" Well Received
The February 4 showing of "Consenting Adult on ABC was widely rẹcognized as an important event in the presentation of gay people by television.
Vito Russo has pointed out that television, much more vulnerable to pressure from activist groups than is the film industry, has tended to portray gay people more often and much more accurately.
Some years ago when ABC ran a "Marcus Welby" episode that supported the correlation of gay males with child molesters, the National Gay Task Force was able to persuade a significant number of advertisers not to buy time on the show. It also forced ABC to make additions distinguishing pedophilia from homosexuality. The episode has never been rerun. Since "Consenting Adult" was publishid as a novel ten years ago, the film industry has repeatedly turned down suggestions of basing a picture on it.
Locally, the showing of "Consenting Adult" drew two columns by Maria Raccardi, the Plain Dealer television critic, that were very relevant to gay people. Her first column was an overview of our presentation on television. Noting the growing incidence of gay characters, Riccardi Bointed out that even
so. while gay people constitute about 1 in 10 in the adult population of the United States, they number only about 1 in SO among television characters. But she pointed out that television had been even slower to acknowledge other minorities.
Riccardi attributed the current increased interest in gay characters specifically to the realization by television executives that gay people watch television and that many of us are relatively affluent.
Riccardi began her second column by describing a telephone caller who objected to the number of gay people shown on television, complained about having to watch them, and asked what the world was coming to. "To its senses, was Raccardi's reply. She pointed out that as many as one-fourth of all American Families may have a gay member, and suggested that showing a movie like "Consenting Adult" indicated that television was beginning to grow
The AM Cleveland show on February 5, the day after "Consenting Adult," included a discussion of comingout by representatives of Parents and Friends of Gays and a sex educator. According to CHANNEL 5 personnel this evoked many calls. none of them crank.
