Same-Sex Civil Marriage
Ali Keskiner, M.D.
Clearwater, Fla.
The Assembly's backing of "gay marriage," which was reported in
the June 17 issue, is showing once again APA's tendency to meddle in the
sociopolitical arena. When will we learn to remain a scientific and medical
professional organization like other medical societies and stay away from
divisive and political issues? Don't we have enough problems with our medical
identity and loss of leadership in helping individuals with mental
illness?
I have nothing against how individuals conduct their private lives, but I
do not like one self-serving group imposing its will on the whole
organization. It seems that the Assembly is once again being pushed
around.
