These places are such frauds, obviously the Churches aren't making enough money in donations anymore or something.... I have a friend, his parents forced him into one of these places. I can't believe parents actually would do that to their child!
I'm so glad mine are so liberal minded.

i also know these camps are bullshit. confused, God-fearing bisexuals who think they are going from gay to straight. that and the "techniques" they use to "cure" people. i read about one camp that gave their campers some stuff to eat and then made them watch gay porn and the stuff starts making them nauseous and some of them throw up. it's supposed to damage them so much mentally so that everyone time they see gay porn or think about it, they start to feel sick. these places are sick. i'd much rather burn in hell than psychologically kill myself. i'm not going to be a bulimi-gay, thanks.
what? that sounds way too fictitious to believe. It's just like a clockwork orange ffs!

As this ex-gay shit is run by protestans i assure you that money wasn't the problem.
from the page 3 of the article:
Quote:
One ex-gay leader who has come to the same conclusion is Jeremy Marks. A mild-mannered 56-year-old from Surrey, he pioneered one of the first ex-gay networks in the UK. But after ten years, the attempted suicide of a former resident led him to question the value of SSA therapy. He found that, rather than helping people, it led to depression and dysfunctional behaviour. “They stopped going to church, stopped going to work,” he recalls. “The only ones who appeared to be doing well were those who accepted that they were gay and got on with their lives.” Marks is now openly gay and runs Courage, a support group for gay Christians.
“Really, what the ex-gay movement is all about is salving the conscience of the Christian leaders who don't like to be accused of homophobia,” he says. “That way they can say ‘we don't hate gays - look how we are welcoming them'.”
It's quite an interesting article. thanks for posting it!
no problem. and I agree, I really don't think it's for the money. these people actually believe that this shit works, and truly want all of us to share their Awesome Hetero Lives.
