Jonathan Katz, a Washington University physics professor who wrote a widely
circulated homophobic screed in 1999 has a son who is proudly gay.
Isaac Katz, 22, contributed an essay to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in which
he announced that he came out to his mother as well as his father, Jonathan
Katz, this summer.
This year the elder Katz was nominated to be part of an elite group of
scientists who would work on tackling the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico
. When an essay came to light that Jonathan wrote 11 years ago proudly
declaring his homophobia and accusing gay people of being responsible for
AIDS, he was removed from the team by Energy secretary Steven Chu.
Issac Katz writes in the Post-Dispatch that he is coming out publicly
because of the spate of reported gay suicides. He finishes his piece by
telling young gay people that "it does get better."
"I can't change my dad's thoughts about homosexuality overnight," Katz
writes. "Underlying his opinions and those of other homophobes is the belief
that homosexuality is not ingrained within gay men and women, that someone
attracted to people of the same sex should simply choose not to be a '
practicing homosexual.' That this idea is absurd should be obvious to all
straight people, unless they can identify a time in their lives when they
chose to be straight and not gay, and would gladly become intimate with a
same-sex partner if only they chose to." | L*******e
