What do you think the RW response to the APA saying gay-to-straight therapy doesn't work will be?

[ck4829]

There is no firm evidence that sexual orientation can be changed through therapy, so mental health professionals should not tell conflicted gay clients that they can become heterosexual with such treatments, the American Psychological Association declared today.

In adopting a resolution, the APA's governing council said some research suggests such "reparative therapy" could induce depression or suicidal tendencies.

A task force recommended that mental health professionals "avoid misrepresenting the efficacy of sexual orientation change efforts when providing assistance to people distressed about their own or others' sexual orientation," usually as a result of religious doctrine.

3. Both 1 and 2

APA was criticized for not having a clear policy re: involvement in torture. This is overall a good resolution IMO.

4. Shouldn't that be Librul virus err bias?

Those same kreestians say that God is perfect and all he makes is too, so by extension that makes me a perfect homosexual....

6. APA is an arm of the George Soros empire?

7. I voted "other" because the RW would probably say

that the gays in therapy aren't trying hard enough.

I mean, isn't that their usual response anyway when things don't work out for people? It's all their own fault...
