Gay Therapy
Gay conversion therapy, as it is known, supposedly helps gay people overcome same-sex attractions. But mainstream psychologists say the therapy is ineffective, unethical and often harmful, exacerbating anxiety and self-hatred among those treated for what is not a mental disorder.
In 2013, two cases involving the therapy to convert gay people into heterosexuals hit the courts, with one seeking to sue counselors who offer the therapy and the other seeking to defend them.
Here are five things you need to know about the therapy and the current lawsuits.

You project mightily when you accuse me of rambling and raging.
Stop and look at your own soul calmly in a mirror.
I can’t believe that this thread enraged you so at me, and made a blind, raging stalker out of you.
Since whatever is going on is in your head, there isn’t much I can do, or respond to, you wanted to hijack the thread to get on a rage against me, but since it is all a personal rage, evidently from some past thread that I’m not aware of, there just isn’t anything political or relevant for me to work with to figure out what is driving you.
It would be nice if you could turn yourself off and get back to the thread.
This long sustained diatribe and pursuit of yours, makes your first post to me, post 26, all the weirder, evidently it was intended as an order to get off the thread and not challenge the article.
Blind? Angry?
I’m just saddened. You tell me get a life. I have a Life. I want everyone else to have a Life too.
You’re seeing “Angry” through distorted glasses.
God bless you.
No, I can see your anger because of you coming out of nowhere, for no reason, and getting on the thread to start attacking me, using the name of jesus and raging about checking into you more at your homepage, and just raging at me for post after post.
I have zero idea of what is going on here, or what is driving you for post after post, I don’t see a political reason, or anything related to the thread topic, it is really bizarre, and passionate, it is unexplained anger, mystifying, all personal raging with no political or topic connection.
Of course they do especially since they now make big bucks convincing them that gay is normal, since they changed their own diagnosis of theabnormality, of homosexuality.
Just because people post articles by lefties doesn’t mean they support or agree with them!
The job FR posters is to expose what these people are up to and critique their arguments. Posting multiple articles by this person shows us what she is about.
You appear to be going slightly berserk on Star and HiTech. YOU appear to be the angry stalker.
Sorry, I personally know people who experimented with their sexuality as young people and who landed on their feet. Human sexuality is complex and subject to all kinds of things, and sometimes gets intertwined with addictive disorders. Therefore, yes, it is tougher for some than for others to control. But, it is still a continuum.
It really comes down to accepting Gods design and not rebelling against it. Like any other sin, we have to ask God to heal us, and to help us be victorious over the besetting sin, the practice of homosexuality is the sin, not the feelings.
Heal me, LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. Jer 17:14
EveningStar is a well known liberal troll, and has a habit for posting liberal friendly threads, and I don’t see the redeeming value in this thread, as you evidently do.
As long as you keep critiquing me, especially erroneously, do you expect NOT to get answers?
I see liberal trolls as discussion bait. Put the troll on the hot seat. We don’t have to go to the troll even; the troll comes right to us.
Your posts get more bizarre, you got on this thread and started going at me, just like a troll, no politics, no political angles, nothing to discuss, just some kind of weird personal thing, unexplained, but it has to be something that from your past, you made this thread useless all in the name of Evening star. Very weird, your obsession with me is creepy and mystifying, but here you are, at it a second day.
This is the simple answer; the complex one is that by the time the person comes to accept the idea that intervention is needed (their life is so goofed up by then) there can be a horribly thick web of sinful habit. Enjoying rape-like acts (giving or getting) is quite likely intertwined with “rageaholism.” The sex gives a kick and the anger gives a kick. And at the bottom of it all may be some genuine wrongs suffered and some genuinely ignorant bumbles, as well as some willingly believed or made lies. Simple churchianity is of little or no use here at getting rid of the monkey on the back. Careful spiritual counseling by an empathetic yet orthodox Christian counselor can be of help in disentangling the sinner.
Then why did you post homosexual agenda propaganda, if you don’t care about it, supposedly?
So you intend to keep up the critique and expect no answer?
You are “smelling like you came from under the bridge” yourself. Cast that plank out of your own eye before you presume to get the speck out of mine.

An example of "gay is wonderful" propaganda, just so you know it when you see it. Ansel has found other articles by the propagandist author. NOtice how she says that Mentally Ill Sex Pervert Parents are the Best Parents".
Anyone wanting on/off any of my ping lists, freepmail me.
If people post leftist spew to warn, to post as an example of lefist spew, and discuss its demerits, that’s one thing.
To just post it and not do the above, is pushing the propaganda.
Should have added - the OP said s/he didn’t care about the “homosexual agenda”. Then why did s/he post this? And not condment the article as propaganda, just let it stand without comment?
Look, it was you who started posting at me, now you are back to your post 26, wanting me off the thread.
This is incredibly bizarre behavior.
Post after post to me, two at a time, about absolutely nothing except your personal anger at something from some past thread, share with us, give us a hint of what it is, is it my being against libertarianism, my being against the homosexual agenda, the violence in Country music, not being for Romney? What?
Well, my history is easy to look at and so is yours; please feel free to substantiate your very bizarre theory about carrying some sort of vendetta over from anywhere else, if you can. But you will find me blissfully clear of any such offense, leaving only the baseless suspicion in your mind.
Since you appear so bent on having the last word, I will stop now and let you have it no matter how wrong or how unfair.
