How to "cure" homosexuality? The Lebanese Hariri Inc Solution. As you may remember, Thomas Friedman had referred to Hariri media as "liberal." Here, the official website of the Hariri movement in Lebanon carries an article about homosexuality. It refers to it as "sexual deviance" at several points. It attributes homosexuality to a genetic deformity, or to emulation of adults, or to a "state of self-hate" or even to sexual harrassment. (It offers a variety of kooky theories). But the writer of this article cautions the readers: that homosexuality can be cured if there is a desire for a treatment, and if the homosexual (patient?) seeks medical help.
