ADF update on Prop 8 trial: Day 9

By Alliance Alert

ADF Senior Legal Counsel Austin R. Nimocks writing in The Christian Post: "The testimony Friday all came in the form of a single witness: Dr. Gregory M. Herek, an expert in psychology from the University of California at Davis. He was called as the plaintiffs? final witness in a futile effort to demonstrate that the concept of 'sexual orientation' is immutable and no different from race or sex. The plaintiffs made quick work of Dr. Herek, asking him questions for less than two hours, and in no way establishing what they sought to establish. In fact, through Dr. Herek, they established quite the opposite-that the idea of 'sexual orientation' has no clear or universal understanding or definition, but rather involves varying and fluid concepts of identity, desire, and behavior. In other words, 'sexual orientation' is, in no way, like a person?s race or sex."
