I had cause to mention the odious DUP a while back, and in case you are wondering just how odious they are, one of their members has managed to get a staring role in a post on Pharyngula. Obviously there’s no point in my adding to one of Mr. Myers broadsides – it would be like firing a pea shooter in the wake of a cruise missile. However, I would like to note that the British Psychological Society has firmly rejected the idea that LGBT people are mentally ill.

I’m slightly less impressed with the statement in that article that transgender is a “sexual orientation”, but that bit isn’t in quotes so it may be an error on the part of the journalist rather than by the BPS folks.
