You probably heard about Sam Brinton, the pervy nuclear scientist the Biden administration hired at the Department of Energy. He goes to work in women’s clothes, and runs sadomasochist workshops on the weekend. He was arrested recently for allegedly stealing a woman’s suitcase in an airport. Shocking, isn’t it, that someone so obviously mentally unhinged would find himself in trouble with the law for supposedly stealing a suitcase full of women’s clothes.
Here’s a good piece by the gay activist Wayne Beson asking if Brinton’s story was always too good to be true. Beson accuses top LGBT organizations of willfully ignoring the warning signs that Brinton was a fraud, because his story was perfect. Brinton came onto the gay scene by claiming to have been a victim of extremely cruel “conversion therapy” attempting to torture the gay out of him. Beson tried to verify Brinton’s story:
I excitedly reached out to Brinton, and they were oddly inaccessible, communicating indirectly through intermediary LGBTQ+ activists in the Boston area, where they were attending MIT. The reason for Brinton’s scarcity had to do with two simple questions I had asked them: “Who was your conversion therapist, and in which facility did the therapy occur?”
This basic inquiry was critically important for two reasons. First, to share Brinton’s story, we had to verify if it was true. Second, Brinton’s testimony involved a torture center where hideous abuses were presumably still occurring against children at least as young as 11. If such a place existed, there was a moral imperative to rapidly identify the abusive therapist and contact the authorities to stop the atrocities.
Why was Sam Brinton the only survivor of conversion therapy I’ve encountered since 1998 who refused to answer these questions? …
The media is also culpable in this scandal. In countless stories, not a single reporter from the world’s top publications pressed Brinton to name their counselor. What kind of journalism is this?
