Truth Wins Out: Major 'Ex-Gay' Life Coach Accused of Sexual Misconduct By Former Clients
Via Pam's House Blend:

Another fraud bites the dust...

Wayne Besen's Truth Wins Out (TWO) has released a video statement by two former clients of "ex-gay" life coach Alan Downing. This one is a classic example of how charletan perverts like Downing prey upon individuals questioning their sexuality. When performing "reperative therapy" he engages in what looks and sounds a lot like promotion of same-sex fantasies for Downing than something meant to guide the client to opposite sex attraction.


Are you as tired of living in the 13th century as I am -- with it's selective morality and cowardice? Justice can't come soon enough for LGBT people.

And not just being gay... but being sneaky and underhanded about it!

9. On the one hand, I'm chagrined by this therapist's behavior...
On the other hand I'm blown away that anyone would actually pay money thinking that a freaking therapist could 'relieve' them of the affliction of teh gayness.

Gimme a break.

Dudes, you're gay. You were born that way. It doesn't go away, it can't be 'cured', and there's NOTHING WRONG WITH IT for the love of Dog.

Accept yourselves and who you are, and this crap won't happen to you again.
