45. It's a very abusive thing

Some gays, for reasons too numerous to list here, are put through religious "therapy" (it's called reparative therapy by its purveyors, and I bet you didn't know gays even needed repaired) to attempt to turn them into heterosexuals. The derisive term is "praying away the gay." The theory is, after a gay person goes through this he will immediately cast off his gay garb, enroll in a Christian church, get a nice Christian job, settle down with a nice Christian girl and produce nineteen nice Christian children.(Looking at that paragraph...I'm hetero and the lifestyle just described doesn't look all that good to me...even if you could talk someone out of being gay, how could you talk them into this?) It's driven some of its victims to suicide, and that it doesn't work can be seen not only in the pictures above, but in this year's news: Exodus International, the biggest purveyor of this bullshit in the whole Jesus Industry, apologized to its victims and disbanded.

Fun fact: Marcus Bachmann, the husband of DU's favorite congresswoman (admit it: you'll miss her when she's gone), does reparative therapy for a living.
