Question, I’ll give you a piece of evidence as to how much harm “ex-gay therapy” does:

Prior to being led into “ex-gay therapy”, I’d say my family and I got along well. Shortly after that experience with the “ex-gay” pervert, I took off out of town, and rarely speak to them nowadays.

For the past decade, they’ve tried to get me to visit more often, and even relocate near them – but as I tell em: “I don’t and won’t trust you”.

Sounds pretty damaging to me. And that’s just MY story, among countless others.

“What evidence? Please provide this evidence.” How about the personal stories those harmed by the ex-gay movement? I can give you lots of examples. I helped start this mess 30 years ago and regret that I ever did.

“What evidence? Please provide this evidence.”

This is most likely that same anonymous person who constantly asks naive, child-like questions on Besen’s personal blog, but isn’t genuinely interested in any answers.

In a way, I am glad that the Bishop signed up and then subsequently rescinded his RSVP to attend. If you think about it, the Bishop’s celebrity (for lack of a better word) had brought attention to the issue in the first place, and the fact that he then backed out is perhaps what made people rethink and question these wackos’ philosophy and methods. Looks like it may have worked, seeing that the symposium appears to be all but cancelled!

I suggest you go on this website and check out the video section. If you open your eyes and ears, the evidence is overwhelming. There is actually a Survivors group at Beyond Ex Gay. Now, why would there be such a group if damage had not occurred?

Finally, even Exodus admits the vast majority of people don’t change. What happens to the majority? They suffer a great deal of harm. For you to suggest otherwise is patently absurd and at serious odds with reality. Try putting aside your agenda and maybe you will hear the cries of the victims all around you.

“there is evidence that such methods cause a great deal of harm.”
