While gay state-side Catholics are told by the church that they can be gay -- but celibate, take a look at the "ex-gay" BS Papa's reps are shoveling over in Poland, a country where half of the population believes homosexuality is a sin. It's right out of the Exodus International playbook. (PageOneQ):
The Catholic Church has created rehabilitation centers in Poland to rehabilitate gay people and "get them back on the right path."
The Odwaga Center uses therapy, prayer and chastity to teach its patients to resist their homosexual impulses. Men at the center are taught to play football and women are taught to cook."
Nothing like 'curing' what you're uncomfortable with. Cures for being Laotian? Cures for being Jewish? Cures for being female, ... o, that's right, Zucker's doing that!!
I don't even want to think about what their approach might be for curing transgender and transexxual people.. I definitely don't do football! I might break a nail :P ::)

A cure for breaking nails? One that doesn't require "jet-age plastics"? LOL
