That's not going to stop the churches that do it, though.

No, of course not. But it will help erode the notion that "gay" is a choice.

Ya, I dont think it is the Psychologists we need to worry about so much.

If some psychobabologist can't "cure me of my straightness", why should it work the other way around??

Being raised Pentecostal since I was born until I turned about 25 years told, I've met a lot of men who've parents have thrown them into these camps/groups/therapists who try and turn them straight. The amount of damage they do to these poor people is astounding. So many people I know of, have taken years to get over it and to accept themselves without fear and shame.

Not me, I flew out of that closet with confetti, streamers, balloons, singing Ethel Merman's, "I love a parade!". No one ever tried to change me.

And we're glad! We wouldn't want you any other way, Z-man!

But yeah, I've known people who went to those kinds of camps/ministries, etc. The least amount of damage were people who were incredibly guilty and very closeted; and I know two people who attempted suicided after they felt they'd "failed" to pray hard enough to "fix themselves". They're just evil. Pure malicious evil.
