I’ve only had a brief glimpse into “Dianetics”, as a Uni classmate was researching modern cults for a paper, but I remember clearly seeing the list for 1.1 on the Tone Scale, and read through copies of pages from other books and a few more copies of the Tone Scale (my classmate blew up one for presentation purposes), and I remember the explicit mention of homosexuality being within the 1.1 designation.

As a leanbh of homosexual women, I grew up in the LGBT community and any type of discrimination against my family has always been burned into my mind. With that said: taking anything this madman said with anything more than a grain of salt is a waste of energy.

Hubbard was a hypocritical, discriminatory, and hateful quack. He spent his life throwing hissy fits whenever people disagreed with him. He’s also several decades late on “returning”—it’s not going to happen. The man is dead.

Scientology will slowly, but surely, follow him to its grave. Despite all the messed up shit going on in the world, I do wholeheartedly believe that in another ten years that this “church”—cult—will be nothing but a postscript on the cult stage of history.

The Nazis said they only wanted to relocate Jews to Madagascar. Quarantine from Europe.

They never openly advocated ‘elimination’ meaning killing.

We know how that developed.

I totally agree with your statement, TC.

Gays are expelled for their “overts”. Just ask Billy Khan. He was a gay Jewish boy from NYC and a Top Sea Org recruiter for PAC circa 1976-79. He was Declared SP and expelled after being forced to write up all his O/Ws and in them he confessed to visiting hundreds of porn shops where he would give and receive thousands of blow jobs during his three years traveling around the country recruiting naive people by convincing them to sign billion year contracts. He was charged with using his position and church money for personal pleasures. Wonder how many lawyers have similar “high crimes”?

That seems like a sensible policy but can people use this in Scientology or the Sea Org or will they stil be disciriminated against in practise in Scientology and/or the Sea Org?

Where are the gay members, staff and executives?

Since there seem to be absolutely none, what does that tell us about Scientology’s actual policies and practices – and about the claims and statements they try to make?
