The final plaintiff’s witness in the Proposition 8 trial testified on Friday. Greg Herek, a psychology professor from UC Davis, told the court that gays and lesbians do not choose their sexual orientation. He said that there is a distinction between the words marriage and partnership.
The defense kept Herek on the stand longer than any other plaintiff witness and tried to show that homosexuality was a choice. They introduced work by Sigmund Freud written in 1935. Freud believed homosexuality could be “cured” with therapy.
The plaintiffs were expected to rest their case on Monday. Defense has only two witnesses and testimony could end by tomorrow.

Boy, what a waste of education. Greg Herek, a psychology professor from UC Davis, sent his parents money and his to get a degree, but he didn’t get any education. What a waste.
Freud certainy did not believe that homosexuality could be “cured.” See his letter to a homosexual’s mother on “iMishMashUp” App on iTunes, READ FREUD! Freud had far more enlightened views on all forms of sexuality than he is given credit for. See FreudPsa E*archive books on amazon.
