You’re linking an article from 2002 that was controversial even at the time. You can see coverage from 2002 in the Washington Post, for example: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/2002/06/29/p...

The author of the article, Timothy Dailey, is associated with the Family Research Council, which still in 2023 has this on its website: https://www.frc.org/homosexuality

Now, why do you need to go back to an obscure article published over 20 years ago by a homophobic ultraconservative organization to source your claims? Perhaps because the vast majority of experts now believe these claims to be false.
