Excerpts from an abcnews.go.com article entitled “Chris Christie Comes Out Against Gay Conversion Therapy”: “‘Governor Christie does not believe in conversion therapy,’ spokesman Kevin Roberts said in a statement to the New Jersey Star-Ledger. ‘There is no mistaking his point of view on this when you look at his own prior statements where he makes clear that people’s sexual orientation is determined at birth.’” … Read the rest of this entry →

Gender Identity Disorder no longer a psychiatric disorder

April 04, 2013 By: Tom Coy Category: Clinical Science, Gay Politics

Excerpt from the article “Psychiatry’s New Normal: ‘Transgendered’ Persons” in the National Catholic Register: “BOSTON — The term “gender identity disorder” has been eliminated from the new edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s official guide to classifying mental illnesses, known as the DSM-5.”

“Whereas previously a man who ‘self-identified’ as a woman (or vice versa) could have been classified as mentally ill, now the DSM-5 uses the term ‘gender dysphoria,’ which means it is only a mental illness if you’re troubled by this self-identification. Elated activists in the ‘LGBT’ community had lobbied the APA for the change for years.”

March 21, 2013

Christopher Doyle, licensed therapist and ex-gay, researched the story of a witness who testified at New Jersey hearings to ban sexual orientation change efforts. Brielle Goldani claimed she had been tortured at a conversion therapy camp in Ohio in 1997, but Doyle found no record of the camps existence.

Excerpt from the World Net Daily article “NJ Governor Christie’s Opinion on Heterosexual Therapy Ban Based on False Testimony:” “According to the office of the Ohio secretary of state and attorney general, no such camp called True Directions has ever existed. In fact, the only trace of this camp is from a 1999 film titled ‘But I’m a Cheerleader,’ starring RuPaul. In the film, the main character is suspected of being a lesbian by her family, who then proceeds to send her to a ‘conversion therapy’ camp called True Directions. Throughout the course of the film, two disgruntled gay men encourage the campers to rebel against the program and discover their true identities as gays and lesbians. Read the rest of this entry →

WND editor Joseph Farah exposes the hypocrisy behind banning conversion therapy

April 04, 2013 By: Tom Coy Category: Gay Politics

March 19, 2013

Excerpts from Joseph Farah’s opinion piece “Illegal to help change sexual orientation?” on World Net Daily: “It’s perfectly legal for counselors to encourage lesbianism, homosexuality, transvestism and the aforementioned medical mutilations known as sex-change operations. It is even perfectly legal for counselors and therapists to offer assistance in changing the sexual orientation of adults and children from heterosexual to homosexual.”

“At the same time American society takes this anything-goes approach to sexuality, there is one new glaring taboo being constructed in some states: Counseling and therapy for minors who want to change their sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual.” Read the rest of this entry →

March 16, 2013

Excerpts from the PFOX letter: “As parents of gay children, we urge you to vote against Senate Bill 2278, erroneously titled, ‘Protects minors by prohibiting attempts to change sexual orientation.’ This proposed legislation, initiated by the gay lobby to ensure that children receive only homosexual-affirming therapy by banning heterosexual therapy, is an act of childhood endangerment and an unconstitutional attempt to deny parental rights in New Jersey and your district.” Read the rest of this entry →

March 13, 2013

Following are transcribed excerpts of Christopher Rosik, Ph.D. articulating NARTH’s perspectives. Rosik is the current president of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH):

“… My fellow panelists and I wish to publicly provide confirmation of one fact: that ‘sexual orientation’ is not immutable in all people and as a result some individuals can and do experience change in same-sex attractions and behavior. Those who disagree with us on this too often speak for us in ways that intentionally or unintentionally mischaracterize what we believe and how we practice.”

“So let me try to briefly to set the record straight.” Read the rest of this entry →

March 1, 2013

Excerpts from David Kyle Foster’s testimony on the PFOX website: … “Perhaps my personal witness to change can be of some help. I have been changed in many and varied ways over the past 32 years after seeking the Lord at the age of 29 to deliver me from a bondage to homosexuality, pornography and other sexually addictive behaviors. After 10 years of active involvement in the ‘anything but gay’ homosexual lifestyle, Jesus Christ revealed Himself to me and has set me free from what statistics show to be a deathstyle lain upon the foundations of profound brokenness.” Read the rest of this entry →

Kids should not call other kids names like “gay,” “sissy,” or “faggot”

March 05, 2013 By: Tom Coy Category: Clinical Science, Relationship Advice

March 1, 2013

PFOX recently reprinted several informative quotes from the Joseph and Linda Nicolosi book A Parent’s Guide to Preventing Homosexuality. Following is one of the quotes: “In elementary school, other children will begin to call gender-confused boys ‘sissies,’ ‘faggots,’ ‘queers,’ or ‘gays.’ Mistakenly and tragically, their teachers may even identify them as ‘gay children,’ and, thus labeled by their own teachers, the children may even come to think of themselves as ‘born gay.’ They may not be sure what being ‘gay’ means, but they begin to suspect that they are different. Before long, their emotional estrangement from their own sex will begin to surface in same-sex romantic longings.”

“Imagine how it would feel for a boy to have a distant father and also to be teased by his same-sex peers. Imagine how it would feel to be called clumsy, a sissy, crybaby, mama’s boy or to be labeled for any number of other failures. Read the rest of this entry →

Former transgender tells what he has learned

March 05, 2013 By: Tom Coy Category: Clinical Science

March 1, 2013

Excerpts from Walt Heyer’s “Things I’ve Learned” on his website www.sexchangeregret.com: … “Contrary to what you may think, male-to-female sex change surgery is a sex change in name (documentation) only. Sex change surgery is only a cosmetic procedure to make it look like a change was made, when in fact no female ‘parts’ are used. Did you know? No amount of surgery, hormone injection or anything else can, or will, change the birth gender DNA. It is absolute. The only thing the surgeon can change is the medical record, birth records and the perception that a change took place on the operating table. A DNA test would prove no sex change took place.” Read the rest of this entry →
