Demolishing New Ex-Gay Talking Point. Ex-Gay vs. Transgender

Thanks to Michelle Bachmann and her family business that offers Christian counseling, including "therapy" to help sort the gays, the media has once again highlighted ex-gay treatments and theories that say people can be "de-gayed." Spokespeople for the anti-LGBTQ cause get on TV and spout their faulty ideas and talking points designed to legitimize their postition and convince the public that the treatments and theories are beneficial.
During this current media cycle ex-gay proponents introduced a new talking point. Dr. Jack Drescher, in his recent piece for Psychology Today, writes about the talking point and its emergence in the media.
