Study: Some Gays Can Go Straight

An explosive new study says some gay
people can turn straight if they really want to… Gay rights activists attacked the study, and an academic critic noted that many of the 200
“ex-gays” who participated were referred by religious groups that condemn homosexuality.

The interesting thing is that this research comes from the venerable Dr. Robert Spitzer, known to all psychiatrists as the godfather of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. the ‘bible’ of all official, allowable diagnoses and their diagnostic criteria. Spitzer spearheaded the removal of homosexuality from the DSM in 1973 because it did not meet the requirements for being a psychiatric disorder (well, duh!) and called for more research on how fixed people’s sexual orientation is. He ended up doing the research himself, starting out as a self-described skeptic about the prospects for changing sexual preference through psychiatric treatment. Associated Press
