Treating sexuality

Therapists admit using harmful practices to ‘cure’ homosexuals despite evidence they do not work.

Comments on this Telegraph news feature that I “Clipmarked” yesterday:

Maybe they think that there is something really special and unique about themselves that will magically cure gays. Everyone lets their ego show once in a while.   —tanyamm

One in Six Psychiatrists huh? I can’t help but find that rather amusing because back in the sixties there was a book written with the title ‘One in Six Men’ based on the Kensey (?) Report that One in Six men are Homosexuals. You don’t suppose that the same One in six are two of the same do you? According to my own theory, chances are pretty good. 🙂 —chestnut 501

As someone who is ex-gay I feel the real problem is that psychiatrists will not help people who want to change Philip, 37, Hampshire
