I try to avoid the usual schadenfreudian crowing and accusations of hypocrisy that accompany each anti-gay figure as they're exposed one at a time. But I can't resist passing this one on...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/mar/28/aubrey-levin-charged-sexually-abusing-patient
A leading Canadian psychiatrist who kept accusations of gross human rights abuses in apartheid-era South Africa hidden has been charged in Calgary with sexually abusing a male patient and is being investigated over dozens of other allegations.

Dr Aubrey Levin, who in South Africa was known as Dr Shock for his use of electricity to "cure" gay military conscripts, was arrested after a patient secretly filmed the psychiatrist allegedly making sexual advances.

Seriously, I have nothing to add here.

(h/t to boingboing where I saw this first)

I've just come to expect it. I'm no longer surprised when a homophobic public figure is outed. I suspect that homophobia is rooted not in religious or moral outrage, but deep seated loathing about one's own desires. For example, I'm pretty sure Erick Erickson is gay.
