As the evidence has demonstrated that old beliefs were incorrect the APA has corrected itself. The bible and christians on the other hand choose what to believe and then ignore all evidence that contradicts their preferred conclusion. This is why science has given us all the wonders of the modern world while religon has delivered nothing of value but plenty of bigotry, hate, and war. Religion has evolved over the millenia as one group has gained power over another. The New Testament was an attempt to piggy-back on the Jewish religion and update it to suit the desires of that generation. Christians nowadays are no different. They once claimed god and the bible supported slavery and now deny that and falsely claim Chrisitians were responsible for ending slavery. Just as they did then, when gays have achieved equality and it is no longer socially acceptable to denigrate them Christians like you will lie and claim Christianity was responsible for it. “E”, the APA is the formost expert organization on the human condition.

The APA is one of the most screwed up institutions in our country. It's views are constantly changing...never sure what they believe and what they don't believe. The Word of God does NOT change! The Bible condemns homosexuality - period! Any student of Theology knows the rules of biblical exegesis. You cannot twist the Scriptures and make them say whatever you want them to say...especially for the purpose of justifying ANY sin. Put you confidnece in the Bible NOT the fickle APA!

Frankly, it made me cry. Poor Patrick, being put through all that hocus-pocus. And congratulations to Patrick on escaping from that "ex-gay" purgatory and on finally achieving self-acceptance as a gay man. Anyone misguided enough to be considering any kind of "ex-gay" therapy should see this video. Thanks for making it, Patrick. I’ve just watched the video of Patrick McAlvey again.
