Most psychologists don’t even try to use psychotherapy anymore for homosexual attraction, ever since the 1973 DSM removed it as a disorder in what was hardly an objective and unbiased decision. To attempt to do so is a rather bold decision that invites activists to ruin you professionally.

The sad thing is that there are people out there who have same sex attraction thoughts and DO NOT want to be like that, yet society tells them to just embrace it. Politics trumps mental health in this case.

I would add a few words to your comment...

The sad thing is that there are people out there who have same sex attraction thoughts and DO NOT want to be like that, yet society and the psychiatric establishment tell them to just embrace it.

Nobody is forcing anyone into this kind of therapy.
Why, then, should anybody have a problem with Bachmann's clinic offering this Christian alternative -- to those who want to try it?

Obvious answer: No one should have a problem with it.

But the pc psychiatric establishment does, because they want a monopoly on "treatment" of all "gender dysphoria" (i.e., you should just accept it that you are homosexual, and take pride in it!).

And the MSM does too, because anything that is Christian must, of course, be wrong.
