http://www.edgeboston.com/index.php?ch=news&sc=&sc2=news&sc3=&id=115717The existence of ex-gay or "reparative therapy" ministries have been around since the 1970's. Such groups have long been a source of eye rolling in the gay community and are the subject of derision. But the effects of their effrots are very real -- not only in the ruined lives and suicides among gay men and lesbians who have found that it's no more possible to "cure" being gay than being short or being born in the United States.
No, these groups have not been content to spread their implied message that homosexaulity is something worthy of a "cure." They are actively propogating their message and operations abroad operate, where they are busy spreading their propaganda and claims to cure people of their same sex attractions through religion.
