Pray the Gay Away

[maxx]

This is the second installment of a new show on OWN, "Our America". It's amazing that people just swallow religious swill like what the Exodus program claims. The idea that a gay person can become straight by force of will or praying is ridiculous and is not born out by any longterm studies. At least the Exodus program no longer claims to change people's sexual orientation. I wonder why it is still in business then. And these programs say that a person must choose between homosexuality and Jesus even though there are no teachings of Jesus that address homosexuality. You have to go back to the bronze age OT to find commands against it, the same books where people are told when to stone their own children. One former Exodus member told terrible stories of people mutilating themselves after failing to turn straight. This sort of religious preaching that says that homosexuality is hated by some god is nothing less than psychological warfare on gays and lesbians.
