feb 6, 1979 - Effective Fathering Prevents Homosexuality [Part 45]

Description:

According to Ed Lauritsen, “[N]urturant fathering … almost serves as a form of psychological immunization against homosexuality in most cases.” He also told his audience that “it is incumbent upon ...all LDS clinicians to labor for the prevention of homosexuality.” He indicated that every time "we assist a man toward improving his relationships with his children... we are, in effect, helping him reduce the possibility of homosexuality among his children, and in turn, among his children's children.”
