Ex-Gay Therapy: A Healing Path
If homosexuals can change and become heterosexual, the foundation for their claims to "civil rights" protection on the same basis as race or sex would crumble. This is why they stubbornly insist that such change never happens, despite the testimony of thousands of people who have experienced its benefits. Today, the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) released a comprehensive overview of 125 years of scientific literature on this topic. The evidence overwhelmingly refutes the claims made by factions within the American Psychological Association (APA)--claims that change is impossible, attempting change is damaging, and there is no reason to change anyway, because homosexuality is harmless.
The opposite is the truth on all three counts. The evidence shows that some people who are motivated to change sexual orientation can do so, and there is no evidence that such attempts to change are damaging. And there is every reason to be concerned about living a homosexual lifestyle, because it is clearly associated with higher risks of medical, psychological, and relational pathology--about three times higher, in many cases. This publication--121 pages long, including 27 pages of references--should lay to rest several of the myths of the homosexual movement.
