Psychologist Says Men “Turn Gay” When They’re Raised By Single Mothers

A video featuring a psychologist has been
making the social media and email rounds
again, and many agree with what psychologist
Umar Abdullah Johnson is saying about the
“gay triggers"

Dr. Abdullah Johnson, a certified psychologist,
child therapist and founder of the National
Movement to Save Black Boys, feels strongly
about empowering the black community,
especially young black men. Much is clear after
one listens to his many impassioned speeches
on the need for fathers and mothers to take an
active role in their children’s lives, but is his
analysis of why some are gay dangerously
flawed?

the doctor speaks about specializing in
“homosexual therapy for our teenage people”
after suggesting that bickering between parents
at home may drive daughters into the arms of
another woman instead of a man. He said most
lesbians were either abused, raped, told that
men were “no good,” bullied or called ugly by
boys when they were girls or didn’t have any
fathers in the home.

Which brings up the much debated question:
Are homosexual and lesbians born that way, or
do they “turn homosexual” due to extenuating
circumstances like poor parenting, including a
lack of fathers?

the good doctor added that
mothers “psychologically castrate” their sons
then act shocked when they turn out gay. This
statement suggests that being gay is a defect
and that mothers are responsible for this
shortcoming.
I admire the doctor’s spot-on critique of
absentee fathers and barely-there mothers in
the black community. I agree that we can do
better and need to do better. I applaud him
having the guts to not only speak truth to your
own but offer solutions as well.

But ostracizing or branding a section of the
black population as defects or equating being
gay to being emasculated or raped is
counterproductive, for he is dismissing large
segments of the black community that can and
does contribute positively.
As a child therapist, is he counseling young
children into believing that their mothers have
caused their “gayness”? And if so, is this more
detrimental than therapeutic? Do you think
Johnson is right or do you think his analysis is
deeply flawed?
