Melinda, aren’t you curious why Bachmann can’t produce a single tumescence exam to prove his claims of “change”?

I very much like your video. I like the grace you convey–which I believe allows you to communicate to a wide range of audiences.

If I understood the therapist, he stated change is possible and it has happened–in response to your question whether change can happen. I did not hear any promises to you.

I am curious as to why you don’t identify the therapist. And I am curious as to how it was decided which therapist you would see. Since they have psychologists with expertise in sexuality–how did you end up seeing a new person with an MA without any stated expertise in human sexuality????

Whether I agree with your agenda–I think your presentation/investigation is clear and I’m disappointed Bachmann has not responded.

First time I’ve EVER written a congressional rep. (I’m in CA) asking them to please vote in favor of the ban (SB 1172), on Thurs., 8/30. They responded the following day, saying it had passed, and was on its way to Gov. Jerry Brown. Hopefully, he will do “the next right thing,” at least for those who are still impressionable, meaning those under 18 years of age. Wish it were totally banned, for EVERYONE, however, this IS a start. Tired of hearing the horror stories, and unfortunately for me, I know from personal experience, IT DOESN’T WORK: SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

Great video. I hope that something can be done at some point to get this banned in all states. This is such a travesty and does clear harm to those minors forced to undergo such “therapies” and adults as well.

@Scott
I can’t find that line in Corinthians 13, “love keeps no record of wrongs” in the standard or King James. It’s a great line. Which Bible interpretation did you read that in? And which verse is it?

Wonderful video, John! I got tears at the end where you seemed to be choking up a bit.

I, too, tried to pray away the gay, had years of counseling at a major clinic in southern Minnesota in the fifties when their official philosophy was that I could change if I wanted to badly enough and tried hard enough. Three days a week for seven years I drove 15 miles from my small town teaching job to the clinic. No health insurance. I paid it myself. Any fundie that says I didn’t try hard enough is full of it.

This video should be aired on every major news network in the country.

OUTSTANDING! This was really well done. I have been writing about gay kids recently (NARTH, by the way, is seeking an injunction in CA). I get so infuriated with this nonsense.

I suspect that a substantial amount of this crackpottery is practiced on children. I am an agnostic Jew. Nevertheless, I would like to meet this god that they have conjured up. What kind of deity would inflict so much pain and suffering on kids in his name?

Thank you for that excellent video, John. I have to admit the earlier part made me a bit tearful, as it brought back to me something of what I went through years ago as a gay Catholic, although I never went as far as self-harm or even considered suicide. Anyway, I congratulate you on coming through it all in one piece and for exposing the “ex-gay” fraud for the wicked and abusive nonsense that it is.
