Exodus International Is Really Trying To Change Gay People

Although this organization claims to love and except gay people, they are really trying to change them and make them heterosexuals. Yes, they have worked to get laws changed to punish though that abuse and beat gays. However, the truth is that one of the leaders was quoted as saying that he would never rent to a gay person. Now, you have to wonder what exactly was the thinking or logic of this person for saying this. The ex-gay ministries as they call themselves seem like nothing more than a group of people who are denying who they are and pretending to be "cured" as they say.

Can you cure someone of being gay? No, it is not possible to live a healthy life if you try to brainwash someone into hating himself or herself so much to denounce who they are. You can brainwash someone into being "not gay," but you cannot change a gay person inside.

Focus on the Family's Love is for intervention that requires taking your child to pre-homosexual treatment. It practices conversion therapy and has been used on children as young as 5 years old. Isn't this a form of child abuse? I would say so, but then again they get away with practicing hate.

Conversion therapy is harmful to anyone. It causes many suicide attempts, low self-esteem, social isolation and depression. Why would someone even consider doing this to a child, they say they love. This in my opinion is the worst form of mental abuse. You cannot change someone's sexual orientation. Doing this to children is horrible. These people call themselves protectors. If this is how they protect the young, I would rather take my chances of living as a gay person.

Someone needs to speak up and keep these so called ex-gays out of schools and away from our kids. Adults can fight back, but kids whose parents listen to this garbage are causing so much pain to their children. This is a horrible way to treat children gay or not gay.

Five-year-old kids do not know if they are gay or not. It comes about later in the child's life. My daughter knew she liked girls when she was young, but she did not know she was gay. It took time for her to come to a realization herself. This must stop.
