Study supporting gay conversion challenged

Funny there from religious Uni's, come on guys is this the best you got.

 

and it is documented that those who claim they changed to heterosexual tend to after years of suffering the lie, come out and say that it doesnt work... including those who created the conversation therapies themselves.

 

I was just thinking the same thing. I agree. It doesn't work.

 

I think that quote from Dr. Drescher says it all. Until an overwhelming preponderance of data shows that gays can be converted, this study's findings are bunk.

 

As a Psychologist undergraduate this intrigues me. However, I could quite easily critique it greatly as many have proven. For instance, the participants may have been easily intimidated and so felt the need to please the researchers by saying that were becoming Heterosexual where-as they were actually still gay.

Of course, they could also have gained participants who, more than likely, wanted to be "cured" of their homosexuality and therefore were probably more susceptible to the therapy than say a gay man against his will. Speaking of which, this study makes me worried in that some idiot somewhere with no foreknowledge or sense is going to think that this can be used as a universal "cure" and could quite easily be deployed against the gay community. Unfortunately, such therapy would fail from the start as you need the client to be open to the therapist.

 

Here's the stuff right there that makes me think...yeah...not so reliable

 

oh look religious people being idiots. again. big surprise

 

Hey, you're breaking your commandment.
