I have to hope that Mirojlub Petrovic, is in a very small minority in Serbia.
He is not a doctor, but has a bachelor's of science certificate from an American centre calling itself the International Institute of Original Medicine, which offers students the chance to become a "Certified Medical Missionary in Original Medicine."
He claims that homosexuality is a disease (oh, here we go again!) and the cure is to eliminate junk food, "drink a lot of water," "reject anything that is diarrhetic, alcohol, caffeine," engage in "physical activity," "rest [at] appropriate times." Plus, one "must think about good things." ... and receive regular enemas which I can only imagine he would be delighted to administer personally!
Petrovic, in his missionary role, says he isn't just curing gays of an affliction; he's saving them from a possible death sentence. Though he acknowledges that "you cannot execute homosexuals" at this point, he supports a system that would ultimately give gays a choice: change your behaviour or face the death penalty. He also would like to see a theocratic government established in Serbia where people are punished if they flout the natural laws of the "creator".
If you can spare twenty minutes or so for a good laugh the interview is fascinating, just as much for the professionalism of the interviewer, Jamie Kirchick, who keeps an even tone of voice throughout. I really want to believe that Petrovic is an isolated loon. Surely there aren't others who will be taken in by his claptrap ... are there? :frown:
As we make progress towards equality in many parts of the world this is what we are still up against. But then you knew that already, didn't you?
