Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Alfie's Home is a 1993 children's picture book by Richard A. Cohen, an advocate for conversion therapy of gay people to heterosexuality. The narrator of the story (probably Alfie) tells of how his seemingly perfect and happy family is not all it seems. His parents fight all the time. His father is rarely around, usually yelling at him and his emotionally distressed mother clings to the narrator for support. Lucky for him, his Uncle Pete listens to and spends time with him. Unluckily, Uncle Pete is in fact a Creepy Uncle, and molests his nephew. This leads to many psychological problems as the narrator gets older.This book is infamous for its being an anti-homosexuality tract, suggesting that homosexuality results from being molested as a child and having a Dysfunctional Family, along with advocating conversion therapy, a practice that had been discredited years earlier and has become illegal in several jurisdictions. Cracked named it the worst children's book ever written. Witness it for yourself.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| Alfie's Home / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: This book gets basically everything about homosexuality wrong; the belief that it can be cured, that being a pedophile and being gay are the same thing, that being molested will make you gay, etc.. | |

All Gays Are Pedophiles | |

All Gays Are Pedophiles: Being homophobic propaganda for conversion therapy this is a given. Uncle Pete molests his nephew when he's just a boy. | |

Abuse Discretion Shot: When Alfie's uncle Pete molests him for the first time after they start to bond, we don't get to see anything graphic because a blanket is covering them both, we only see their facial expressions. | |

Abusive Parents: On the rare occasion Alfie's dad is home, he yells at the boy, and his mom vents all of her emotional frustration onto him. This also apparently turns Alfie gay and is fixed by one trip to a therapist. | |
