	Justamente me estoy leyendo este artículo:

	"Scott Harrison desperately tried to change his sexual orientation in 
various "ex-gay" ministries for eight years, three of them as a ministry 
leader in Southern California. Most of his experience with ex-gay groups 
— Christian organizations that see homosexuality as a choice that can be 
changed with proper therapy — was with Living Waters and Desert Stream, 
two curricula of a national ex-gay network that has more than 80 
branches today. When Harrison joined in 1982, he felt ex-gay ministers 
were then a band of compassionate outsiders attending to the first AIDS 
victims. But by the end of that decade, Harrison had taken note of the 
movement's increasing radicalism, symbolized for him by the minister at 
the Vineyard Christian Fellowship in San Pedro, Calif., who performed an 
exorcism on him in an attempt to cast out the "demons" said to be the 
cause of his homosexuality. Harrison finally quit the movement in 1990 
after deciding he could, after all, reconcile his sexuality with his 
Christian faith. Today, he speaks to parents of gay and lesbian children 
about the dangers he sees in the ex-gay movement. Harrison says the 
relatively recent alignment of Exodus International, one of the largest 
ex-gay groups with some 120 ministries in North America alone, with 
anti-gay Christian "dominionists" — people who want to impose Christian 
rules on the secular institutions of society — has led to ex-gay 
ministers pursuing a hard-line message with young people that can only 
end in mental anguish and failure."

	Muy, pero que muy interesante para ver cómo funciona (es un decir) el 
cerebro de esta gente.

	Un saludo.
