In the first longitudinal, peer-reviewed, scientific study of its kind, researchers have concluded some homosexuals can change their "orientation" through religiously mediated guidance.

Their conclusions contradict the claims of the American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association, which contend such change in sexual orientation is impossible and attempting to pursue it likely will cause depression, anxiety or self-destructive behavior.
The new study concluded such changes do not cause psychological harm to the patient.

If some parents want this for their kids, make it an elective course for high school. NOT before then.
Very well put. I just wish more parents would just say enough!
