Programs to change gays to straights don't work, report says
The American Psychological Association concluded Wednesday that there is little evidence that efforts to change a person's sexual orientation from gay or lesbian to heterosexual are effective.
In addition, the 138-page report -- covering 87 peer-reviewed studies -- said that such efforts may cause harm.
These "reprogramming" camps and counselors follow typical pattern behavior for some religious conservatives. If the world doesn't match your religious beliefs, homosexuality and evolution for example, then you deny reality and work to convince others of the lie, even to their detriment.
How people with this sort of detachment from the world can claim the moral high ground is beyond me. Is the fear of being wrong really that powerful?
