ArchivedCBN - Memphis Group under Fire for Trying to Transform GaysMy position is that reparative therapy is beneficial for some seeking freedom from homosexual desires. You are the one who has posted that reparative therapy is dangerous. Why should I concede to your demands when Dr. Satinover (who is far more qualified than you to determine what is and is not proper counseling) supports reparative therapy. Now either you prove such therapy is dangerous or concede you cannot furnish any proof for your contention. As to this message board since you are a member your very presence can be construed to show that you support our philosophy. So your analysis of why I post here is idiotic. Also since this is a fundamentalist Christian message board and I am a fundie you are only attacking a messenger who supports the Bible and is working to change attitudes of homophobic Christians. Can you suggest a better place to change attitudes? As to what I posted regarding an overall success rate of 50%, I did not post a link to all those studies. The only studies I have posted were on the Bisexuality forum, which you rejected because they are old and out of date, which is begging the question since neither APA has sanctioned peer-reviewed studies since 1976. Therefore your claim that such studies are out of date can be attributed to the unscientific attitude of professional organizations that are nothing more than a pawn for gay activists and their agenda. As to the balance of your post it is nothing more than sophomoric hubris. I have effectively shown that the APA's decision to remove homosexuality from the DSMIII in 1973 was based on gay political activism, spurious and faulty studies, and without any scientific foundation that is acceptable science in any other scientific discipline. I have demonstrated that people can and have changed their sexual orientation with and without help from mental health professionals. Now what have you posted? Attacks (unsubstantiated attacks) against Dr. Throckmorton, all ex-gays, reparative therapy (without any proof that such therapy is dangerous), and have resorted to infantile temper tantrums when you can't prove your thesis. It is time you faced reality and give what you demand and that is tolerance for those who disagree with you especially when there are thousands of ex-gays who have successfully changed their sexual orientation. You don’t have to be gay, and although gay men and lesbian women do not choose gay desires they can choose to change since homosexuality is neither innate, inborn, or immutable. Change cannot be forced on anyone; change must be initiated by the individual of their own free will. |
