Unbelievable that in 2010, this is still going on. I was put through this type of program in the early 1990s. "Reparative Therapies" are designed with the idea that homosexuality is unnatural and a "problem" that needs "correction."

My Master's Thesis, (published as an article in the Journal of Gay and Lesbian Social Services) is part of the large body of literature that explores the issue of these controversial types of (allegedly psychotherapeutic) "programs."
I hope one day such programs are looked at with horror and embarassment as a "problem" of the past which finally received its "correction." Click HERE to view the full version of the story on the website.
