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.
