Row as researcher claims gays can be 'straightened'

And because his study found considerable benefit and no harm, Spitzer said, the American Psychiatric Association should stop applying a double standard in its discouragement of reorientation therapy, while actively encouraging gay-affirmative therapy to confirm and solidify a gay identity.

Gay rights groups have already dubbed the research "dangerous and sinister".

The "activists" are already in panic-driven denial. LOL : )

Thanks for posting the NARTH summary.

Gay rights groups have already dubbed the research "dangerous and sinister".

Why? I would think most gays would welcome societal acceptance.

"We're in favour of free speech. I don't think we would say repress it, but we would say it was flawed and flimsy research. It would be interesting to see research on whether straight people can be made to be gay."

Why would straights want to cross over to the dark side?

We know from first hand accounts of young boys sodomized etc in their youth by aggresive homosexual predators and then told that it could not have happened if the child was not homosexual to begin with...that homosexuals LOVE to catch children in the experimental stages of development and fill them with rot that can shape and ruin their psycho-sexual development.

Homosexuals like um young, lessons their embarrassment and recruits vulnerable kids into their filthy, perverted lifestyle.

That makes homosexuality not only a process that can be forced upon non-homosexual youths, but it also demonstrates how aggressive this creepy goups is, that it leavens it filth upon children. It also demonstrates that homosexuality can be passed on thru behavioral methods and this is all ya need to know that it is not a brain (genetic) thing.

Of course, trying to fool the world by saying it is is a means of protecting your SSAD (same sex addiction disorder) and lessoning the deep guilt. It is a means of attaining societal understanding and fooling the public in regards to the heinous behavior homosexuals engage in.

If it is true, as reported above, that TWENTY FIVE PERCENT of children adopted by homosexuals become homosexual as adults....the alarm bells alone from that statistic should be resounding across our nation.

Homosexual activists stink.

The answer is yes. Do you really think that homosexuals are born that way?

The "activists" have been very successful in suppressing all reliable studies that contradict their agenda. I note that even the article at the top of this thread had to come to come to us via U.K. news (the Guardian).

I have always believed this. Much like an addiction to alcohol and AAA.

The first law of homosexuality:

'Homosexuals' don't reproduce, they recruit.

Since homosexuality is a mental disease it can be cured, as research clearly shows. Since homosexuality is a mental disease caused by trauma (molestation, absent or insufficient relation with ones father, excessive teasing/tormenting by one's peers during the formative years) no genetic or biological cause exists, as research also clearly shows.

The "activists" have been very successful in suppressing all reliable studies and common sense in the absence of reliable studies.

I wonder if it works in reverse.

"Bible 'is just plain wrong on homosexuality'"

[johnb838]

They CAN'T be born that way. It's against nature because nature's instinct is to reproduce -- and not by recruiting because that weakens the herd (or troop or tribe whatever you want to call it). They truly didn't used to call it the "Crime Against Nature" for nothing.

And it IS a sickness.

[johnb838]

That's not to mean that people don't get their brain-wiring screwed up beyond all recognition all the time. I'm not saying they can all come back, not saying that at all.

I used to be a drinker. Had a close friend who was lesbo. I was often struck by the similarities.
