Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to questions if they contained copoyrighted materials. After a very short while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg Churilov" cultist was ejected from askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.

FredricRice asked this question on 4/25/2000:

The "spirit" individual passing himself off as an expert on Scientology declined to address these questions and issues about how the Church of Scientology's policies exhibit homophobic hatred. Are there any other experts on Scientology who could address these Policies so that the individual who asked the question gets an honest answer?

Knowing that the Scientology cult has policies about trying to "cure" homosexuals of their homosexuality seems to be an issue that this guy doesn't want people to hear about.

My question is: What's Hubbard's _real_ policy on homosexuality? I've got HCOPL's from the middle 1970's... Does anyone else have something more current?

-=- "Spirit" was asked:

What is the scientologist's view on homosexuals? I was thinking about joining but I am hesitant because of this.

Greg Churilov gave this incorrect answer on 4/24/2000:

The Church has a policy described in a Policy Letter called "2D rules (2D is a reference to the Second Dynamic of Life, which is sex and the family). In this Policy, L.Ron Hubbard states clearly that it is not the business of the Church to look into people's bedrooms and dictate their sexual conduct.

-=-

Why did you lie again? What about your cult's ringleader Keneth Moxon and what [about what] he tried to do to Graham Berry? What about the TRs and "auditing" brainwashing sessions that John Travolta signed up for to try to "cure" him of his homosexuality? What about the "sec check" that has the Scientology cult _specifically_ trying to find homosexuals in the cult so that the fact of their homosexuality can be added to their "pre clear" folders and used against them for extortion and blackmail when they escape the cult?

Surely you're not going to deny Source again ( http://www.sky.net/~sloth/sci/homo.sec.check.html) and demand that Hubbard never wrote these "sec check" questions which exhibit his insane homophobia, are you?

And yes, I know you're not allowed to answer such questions. When you get out, might I suggest you contact the Lisa McPherson Trust for help?

You are again being abrasive. Instead of asking a question, you made a political speech. Did you have a specific question concerning homosexuality and Scientology?

Hubbard taught that sexuality (2D stuff) was an "aberation." Since that is not only false but bad public relations material, the Church of Scientology does not boast of their "cures" for homosexuality, nor their teaching that it is an "aberation." [M] Scientology to "cure" their homosexuality: there is even a law suit going on by a homosexual who was promised to be "cured" by the Church but was not.

Homosexuality is not something that can be "cured," because it is not an illness.
