Straight Talk: How Mathew Shurka And His Conversion Therapist Renounced The 'Gay Cure'

  Another 'Gay Cure' clinic shuts down.

  In 2004, when Mathew Shurka was 16, his father brought him to a licensed therapist who claimed he could make gay people straight. Books lined the wall, and a couch was available for those patients who liked to recline while sharing their woes. The place had an aura of scientific respectability. But few ordinary psychologists would have condoned the conversation that took place.
