Ken just read a cnn.com article with this sentence:
Glenn Koocher, executive director of the Massachusetts Association of School Committees, said there is no pro-gay campaign in the schools, just isolated cases exaggerated by anti-gay marriage activists who suffer from "narcissistic activist personality disorder."
"Narcissistic activist personality disorder." I like that one! In so many cases activists are more about feeding their own ego and/or worldview than effecting positive change in the world. It certainly happens with activists all across the spectrum, left to right, racial/social/political/combination issues. Besides, it amuses me (I'm easily amused and love psychological stuff.)
This article just happens to pick on anti-gay activists. Doesn't break my heart. For heaven's sake, learning about homosexuality is not going to make one gay, any more than learning about heterosexual relationships would turn anyone straight. It's part of human society.
I'm going to jump off my soapbox before I exhibit signs of narcissistic activist personality disorder. (Just what I need, another psychiatric diagnosis)
Anyone want to talk about this further, get book recommendations-- just post to this site, email, call, whatever. You know where I can be found on and/or off cyberspace.
