Ann Coulter tells Joy Behar she thinks ‘ex-gay’ therapy works (Video)


Ann Coulter

The Washington Blade reported today that conservative author Ann Coulter told HLN’s Joy Behar last night that she thinks in some cases “ex-gay” therapy works.

Coulter’s controversial comments came when she brought up that one of her fans “found God,” and “now he’s not gay anymore.” Coulter went on to explain:

“There are some people… maybe they weren’t really gay to begin with, maybe they were molested as children. There are people that go that way.”

Clearly, Coulter is a loudmouth headline-seeking opportunist, exploiting this issue to advance her career. She lacks about as much evidence as she does integrity, so we don’t take anything she says seriously. Unfortunately, some of her dim-witted followers may believe what she says to be true, and that’s why she’s dangerous. After all. riling up rubes is her business model and she’s pretty good at it.

Coulter also told Behar that she thought the military should be comprised of only heterosexual males.

“I not only not want open gays in the military, I don’t want open girls in the military.”

Her comments brought a swift rebuke by the Log Cabin Republicans.

“Ann Coulter is not a serious part of the conservative movement — her positions are a throwback and do more harm than anything else,” R. Clarke Cooper, Executive Director of Log Cabin Republicans told the Blade.

If only Cooper’s comments were true. Sadly, she does speak for a great many conservatives who buy her idiotic books and hang on her every word.

  23. If you’re “not gay anymore” it’s because you were probably never gay to begin with….ooooohhhhh she irritates me, but let’s not give her the satisfaction. Instead: Well thank you Ms. Coulter for your view, now you can see yourself out!

    Posted on Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 4:45pm
  24. Coulter is and always was an ignorant tool!

    Posted on Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 4:46pm
  26. Ann Coulter was on real time recently. I had at least some respect for her until she (not even insinuated, but) DIRECTLY stated Christianity makes one immune or at least less likely to need psychological help. You have NO idea how insulting that was, when in fact Christians seek psychological help less often because they are led to believe God will just magically handle everything, NOT TO MENTION I can’t think of a single person I know who has attempted suicide (and I can list a few, myself included many years ago) and NOT said it was at least partially because they were told by the church that they were evil or impure.

    Posted on Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 8:42pm
  67. Not her again… People needs to stop giving her on air time. All she says is just ridiculous.

    Posted on Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 9:12pm
  68. The part that bothers me about this woman who is apparently so conservative is that she is doing everything that she tells women they shouldn’t be allowed to do. She isn’t married, has no children, went to law school, she has publicly talked and “preached”…all of which are very against these incredibly conservative Christian values she seems to hold. This is absolutely nothing about Christianity, this is about her using the bible to belittle certain groups, but not abiding it when it comes to her own actions.

    Posted on Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 10:02pm
  69. With that huge Adam’s apple of hers, I just always assumed she was an ex-male, or maybe she’s still pre-op tranny (sorry, no disrespect to trannies intended). I’m just sayin’…

    Posted on Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 10:39pm
  72. This sounds like the aversion therapy I’ve been told about by “recovering Catholic” friends; the nuns in parochial school used to beat the children’s hands with rulers to “cure” them of left-handedness.
    Apparently, the children weren’t really left handed to begin with…they were taking penmanship from Satan.
