In Washington, opposition is growing against President Bush’s nominee to become the next surgeon general. The nation’s largest gay rights group, Human Rights Campaign, is urging senators to reject the confirmation of Dr. James Holsinger. Holsinger has argued that homosexuality is unnatural and dangerous and that sexual orientation is a lifestyle choice. In 2000, he helped form the Hope Springs Community Church, which has a special program that it claims to “cure” gay men and lesbians. If confirmed as surgeon general, Holsinger would become the country’s chief health educator.
