This will make the fundies prissier than usual. Actually they are an uptight people. Religious fundies only seem happy when you are telling them their God is the only one and their preacher is the only servant  who can spread the word (Annie: please talk to your people about that). The American Psychological Association adopted a resolution saying health care professionals should stay away from telling their patients they can transform their sexuality.

“Contrary to claims of sexual orientation change advocates and practitioners, there is insufficient evidence to support the use of psychological interventions to change sexual orientation,” said Judith M. Glassgold, chair of the task force that worked on the resolution.

Those who think “conversion therapy”  just needs significant amount of prayer will protest and argue their science is being ignored by secular humanists who want to turn us all into sodomites (what’s wrong with that?). We hear the same complaint from intelligent design folk who are sure their theories are treated with hostility. Neither group points out their “science” is mocked because it fails to even engage the rudimentary levels of investigation. Remember Richard Cohen, the fool who got some play a few years back because part of his turn straight treatment was hitting a pillow with a tennis racket and screaming? And don’t forget his cuddling technique! What a way to cop a man feel under the guise of therapy.

I wish “conversion therapy” advocates would just admit they are in the business to get a little  squeeze now and then. “My tongue down your throat will help you heal from your sinful desires.” The emotional health of their patients is the least of their concerns.
