Opertionally defined, the study resulted in the following. Of the 98 people to received the coercive 'treatment':
25 quit the program;
11 claimed they were cured;
17 claimed they stopped having sex;
45 failed to change.
When I use the word "claimed," it means that the participants themselves reported that they were cured or stopped having sex. No effort was made to see if they were telling the truth.
The logical conclusion is that the sudy proved that Ex-gay therapy results in 28% of participants lying about their sex lives.
