Yes, the lone stranger from Wanganui is once more channelling the US Christian Right, in the form of one Dawn Stefanowicz, connected to the Massachussetts-based Alliance for Traditional Marriage. According to Garnet Milne's Reformation Testimony botsite, Stefanowicz was brought up in a dysfunctional gay male single parent home where her brother was sexually abused by one of her father's one night stands. And Stefanowicz even cites evidence-based resources. Trouble is, they consist of Paul Cameron, Judith Reisman and others. Earth to Garnet. Hello? The New Zealand Christian Right has tried to import the dross that those two charlatans produce for the professionally challenged US Christiian Right beforehand. They have been repeatedly exposed as inept at social scientific research methods, and in Cameron's case, he has been expelled from several sociologist and psychologist professional associations for fabrication of research responses. In Reisman's case, there is ample questioning of her professional competence in a number of cases that the Society for Promotion of Community Standards tried to bring before the Indecent Publications Tribunal and High Court. It's no good stamping your foot and ignoring the fact that the above have been invalidated in regulatory forums, by peer social scientists and other expert witnesses. It is annoying having to constantly do this, but below, note all the online rebuttals of Reisman and Cameron's shoddy, unprofessional junk science. If Garnet Milne must impersonate a cut rate version of Moliere's "Misanthrope," couldn't he at least try to be original, or not use long-discredited Christian Right subcultural luminaries from overseas?
