Question by : Has anyone tried or known of somebody who tried going to sexual re-orientation therapy?
Hello. My parents have been researching alot about homosexuality and they’ve found “healing centers” that apparantly can cure a homosexual’s wounds and turn them straight. They believe homosexuality is a psychological disease that is the result of external factors such as sexual abuse, parents divorce, peer wounds etc. that took place during one’s childhood. My parents want me to go to one because they truly believe this will work. Q: Has anyone here went to one of know of someone who went to these therapy centers? How was it?

Such “therapy” doesn’t cure anything. All they do is teach you self-hate and to repress your true nature. And all that does is make you a miserable person. Sometimes people even commit suicide. As a result all major psychiatric organizations have denounced the use of such therapy.

They don’t work.

I remember someone from one of my high school classes. She said she didn’t believe they were effective and that she even went to one just to see how stupid it was.

Last I checked, she was still lesbian.

By the way, psychologists stopped labeling homosexuality as a disorder back in the 70s. Most psychologists and therapists work to help homosexuals feel fine with who they are rather than try to change them. Those who do try to convert homosexuals are looked down upon in the medical community. Such practices are considered unethical.
