IMHO, anyone that claims to be "ex-gay" is lying to make money or has mastered self-denial to the extreme. If you choose not to practice a gay lifestyle, that's one thing, but claiming you're no longer gay is bullshit.

Exodus has recently undergone an overhaul. A while back, they realized that the clinical evidence was overwhelmingly against them, so they admitted that their clients won't be "completely free" of SSA (same sex attraction). Now they've re-branded themselves around the broad concept of "change" or similar, broad meaningless terms.

Do you know what they mean by "change"? Change from what, or to what?

P.S. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of "reparative/conversion therapists" are lurkers on this Forum.

If any of you are--tell us about yourselves. You are amongst friends...

bcohen, I'm not sure what they mean by change. I assume it's meant to be a Rorschach inkblot which allows each group to see Exodus as they want to see it.

 

Their apology and re-branding are apparently a reaction to the mess they made with their conference in Uganda, which encouraged that country to institute harsher penalties (including death) for men caught having homosexual sex.

 

Here's one blogger who sees the new Exodus in a positive light:

However, I've read other blogs that argue that it's all a head fake.

Haven't been a lurker for quite some time. But, I've always been very open about going thru the conversion therapy used by the Mormon Church. However, I drew the line when they wanted to do electroshock therapy on me.

 

Have quite a few friends who have gone through the Evergreen http://evergreeninternational.org/ program. Can honestly say that I've never met anyone who hasn't gone back to their gay roots.

 

I don't understand the need for change. Acceptance has worked well for me and I truly love my gay life. It is so much better than when I was trying to change.

I've known one person who decided they were more attracted to women than men and started dating (and eventually married) a woman. But they decided it on their own—some closet case at a church didn't mandate it for them.

 

And I've had so many clients who were involved in the church in one way or another—from pastors to someone with a tv show to the child of a rather well-known entertainer who is extremely homophobic.
