This story led my local news today

I can't find video and that is a very short summary but for the first two to three minutes we heard about this ex gay and his ministry. The only source used to rebut was a psych professor who claimed it to be unlikely but possible. Nowhere in this report did they bring up the fact the Phyciatrist's own association calls this therapy unproven quackery. This is what the McClurkins of this world lead to. BTW their 'poll' is currently 58 to 42 in favor of this cure working.

On edit the website of the fraud

I think one of the producers had an agenda.

3. Obviously the people responding to the poll
don't know the facts. "Reparative therapy" is a scam. It's unadulterated psychological and spiritual abuse dressed up as help. All it does is make the gay person repress his/her true sexuality in order to please God and/or religious bigots.
