I don't know where to post this, so Random Discussion seems the best place.

Headline: 'Gay cure' ministry shuts down, leader admits attraction to men

This Article seems depressing, no matter what your perspective may be.

Quote:
21 June 2013 - A Christian ministry in the United States that offered to help gay people 'overcome' their sexuality through prayer has shut down after its leader ... admitted that he himself had been attracted to men.


Comments?

As "conversion therapy" is often harmful to the participants and does nothing to change sexual orientation (link to article), I am glad that one less of these ministries exist and that the ex-leader is voicing his objections so that similar ministries can be shut down.

Props to the minister for having the courage to admit his own non-heterosexuality.

Also, the article would likely be appreciated by posters in all three of the forums that you mentioned.

You're right, of course; but the mods might ding me for spamming if I posted it in more than one forum.

I'll move the thread to one of the others if you prefer.

LGBT then ... it less likely to be controversial than in PP&R ...

Thanks!
