Paul McHugh still fighting against rights for sex and gender minorities |
|
Paul McHugh is a busy guy.
- In 1979 he shut down the gender identity clinic at Johns Hopkins.
- In 2007 he was ordered by Kansas Attorney General Paul Morrison to stop making public statements about physician George Tiller’s work. McHugh disapproved of Tiller’s work providing abortion services. Tiller was later murdered by a fanatic who was influenced by public statements made about Tiller.
- He promotes the concept of “autogynephilia,” a sex-fueled mental illness created by Ray Blanchard.
- He defends Catholic priests against sex abuse charges.
- Now he’s fighting to stop gay marriage.

McHugh’s reason for opposing gay marriage cites the work of J. Michael Bailey.
McHugh lays out his views on homosexuality in this pithy quotation:
It really is amazing ... I mean, 50 years ago [homosexual behavior] was a crime, and now we’re talking about [same-sex marriage]. Anyone who wants to stick with the tradition is accused of being a biblical literalist or a homophobic racist, because, in part, of the more fundamental change in our society towards permissiveness, that is, easy divorce, cohabitation and concubinage, abortion, pornography ... and euthanasia. The issue of the homosexual is not separate ... it’s all part and parcel of the pandemonium that the permissive movement has brought. We have just licensed all kinds of behavior.”
