There's a smidge of selection bias in that statement -- of course, Dobson only comes into contact with self-hating Christian gays whose parents have rejected them... but there's also a big portion of unquestioning idiocy.
I would go so far as to suggest it says less about the gay men that Dobson associates with as it does about the fathers of gay men that Dobson associates with. (Though I am now curious whether he makes a habit of asking men, gay or straight, whether their fathers made a habit of taking them into the showers.)
I hate Dobson, and am pretty sure he is doing the Devil's work.
I was going to write a more detailed sentence or two breaking apart pieces of his nonsense, but I think that sums it all up. Rather than use my energy to scream at him and his ilk, I just write bigger checks to my church that has a dedicated LGBT ministry and is not afraid to say from the pulpit and broadcast over internet and airwaves that all are welcome in God's house.
Work is going to be rough today. As I was getting into my cube, my boss was already asking for things, and he is tilting at windmills - going up against his big boss on something for the hundredth time.

I'm involved in a pan-church organization for LGBT people, for very similar reasons. I have neither time nor energy for these idiots. Not even just because of their dodgy theology. Their 'psychology' and research methodology leave a lot to be desired too.
Is that a bump on your forehead, or are you just happy to see me?
Ghostshark has Sex Organ on Head
A newly-identified species of ghostshark has been found living off the coast of California. The Eastern Pacific black ghostshark also exists in museums, but has only recently been named as a distinct species, says Douglas Long, natural science curator at the Oakland Museum of California.
Chimeras display some unusual features not seen in other living animals, Long said.
Male chimeras, for example, have retractable sexual appendages sprouting from their foreheads. These organs, which resemble a spiked club at the end of a stalk, may be used to stimulate a female or to pull her closer—though these are still assumptions, Long said.

I usually go into a blinding rage when I read Dobson's bullshit.
Today is Wednesday, which means I get 2 1/2 hours to do whatever I want while BOTH kids are in school. Of course "whatever I want" is translated into "whatever I can get done" and that means the grocery store.
A very tired, very very tiny baby bat: [link]
Great, now I have to explain to my boss why I'm shaking my head at the screen and muttering "WHOSE A SWEEPY WIDDLE BAT? YOU ARE! YOU ARE!"
I usually go into a blinding rage when I read Dobson's bullshit.
I started to go at it point by absurd point but I was getting more upset than I should. I think I shall admire an itty bitty bat instead.
